Great bread knife!
"Very happy. Does the trick, even with my hard-as-rock sourdough crust. The offset handle is also a plus."

The Tomita Hamono Nisaku Namiba is one of the best bread knives I've ever used. The serrations are aggressive yet smooth, meaning it can handle tough sourdough with ease yet won't leave a mess of crumbs all over your counter. The offset handle make it perfect for those with larger hands, and the 420J2 Stainless steel blade is on the softer side, so quite rugged. With a beautiful polish and an elegant wooden handle, it's worth displaying in your kitchen!
About the shape - Bread is the cornerstone of civilization, a noble food worthy of its own family of a knife. Rather than destroy the beautiful bread that you've just baked or bought, that gorgeous hunk of gluten deserves to be sliced with the finest of serrations. This blade is razor-sharp even by regular knife standards and will have no issue zipping through thousands of hearty loaves.

"We are pleased with our Tomita Hamono Nisaku Namiba Bread Knife (210mm). However, we like our other bread knife more. I can’t recall the name…but it was priced at $50. I would have bought a second one but you were out of stock."
"I can’t believe how excited I am about a bread knife! Who knew what a difference a quality knife makes when cutting your loaf? This completes our set, all from KNIFEWEAR in the Glebe, we are happy customers. The staff is super helpful, knowledgeable and friendly."
"See title. Thought I’d had a decent bread knife before (20 +/- years old), but now, I know I have a brilliant one. The ease, offset wooden handle, and length makes bread cutting smooth and effortless."
"This affordable gem easily slices through sourdough breads. It is lightweight and has a very comfortable grip."
"Really liking this Tomita bread knife, works great with all kinds of bread, especially sourdough. Great bang for the buck. Recommended."
