Satake Megumi Japanese Bread Knife 20 cm
This robust serrated knife is ideal for slicing all kinds of baked goods, from fresh, crispy loaves to soft buns and baguettes. Its extremely sharp blade ensures that bread won’t crumble, resulting in even and beautiful slices. The long blade provides comfortable handling, even with the largest loaves, and allows the knife to glide smoothly through the bread, preserving its soft inner structure.
Historical Background of the Bread Knife
The exact origins of the bread knife are not well documented, but it likely emerged alongside the widespread consumption of bread. Early bread knives were probably simple sharp-bladed knives used for various kitchen tasks. It wasn't until the 18th century that knives designed specifically for cutting bread appeared, featuring longer blades and serrated edges to facilitate easier slicing.
