A classic amongst the range of knives that belong in every kitchen: as well as bread, this knife is suitable for use on hard-skinned vegetables and fruit, as well as for roasts, especially those with crackling. The concave, serrated edge of the knife works like the teeth of a saw, but much finer, so no pressure is required to cut any sort of bread, and even a hard crust will allow a clean cut.
