About the Shape -I like cutting bread with my Gyuto because it doesn’t make a lot of crumbs. But sometimes you need serrations to cut super crusty sourdough loaves or freshly baked French baguettes. This is really just for cutting bread, not your tomatoes! That’s what your other knives are for.
About Shizu Morinoki - Shizu Hamono is a relatively “new” knife maker, established in 1959 in Seki by Masami Horibe, he grew in Seki city, the city of blacksmiths, and naturally became a craftsman. Their Morinoki line sports a clean, rustic aesthetic that we love. They fit right into a modern kitchen, and the line is perfect for cooks of any skill level that want a reliable knife that doesn't have to be babied. The stainless steel takes a great edge but doesn't chip easily, and the zelkova handle is simple and elegant.

"I am just starting into my sourdough journey. My first few loafs I crushed with the bread knives I had. The Morinoki knife make slicing sourdough an ease. I has tight serrations at the tip to get through the crust and wider serrations to get through the middle. I Highly recommend this knife for slicing bread."
"Very good so far!"
"Good knife for soft breads. Not the best for sourdough."
"Excellent bread knife! Cuts so smoothly without tearing the bread."
"Cuts perfectly. I use it for my sourdough bread"
"Great knife for the price!"
"Great teeth on this blade. Remains sharp after plenty of use. Handle is minimalist but with good grip. Would buy a similar knife again the future, but I feel this knife will last a long time with proper care and use."
"Très bon"
"Very nice looking knife but the blade is a little flimsy when cutting harder crusts and the handle isn't the most stable either. Overall it does the job and it's definitely worth the price."
"Much as I would like to, I cannot recommend this knife to anyone but a casual user. I bought it for its length and it worked beautifully for a few months. Perhaps I was kidding myself thinking that a $60 knife would replace a Shun. However, the Shun knife bought in 2008 is now sharper than this knife after 5 months. So, perhaps if you cut a boule once or twice a month, this makes sense, but if you are cutting 10 slices of crusty bread a day, get a better knife."
