xMeet the KYOKU Samurai Series 10-Inch Serrated Bread Knife
Crafted for home bakers who value balance, edge, and elegance, this knife blends traditional Japanese craftsmanship with modern practicality. The blade is forged from high carbon Japanese steel and honed to a precise 13–15 degrees, delivering clean, confident slices through crusts before you even think about the next move.
What makes it a great bread knife for everyday use
The serrated edge is designed to grip and glide through crusty loaves—baguette, ciabatta, brioche, and challah—without tearing soft crumbs. The full-tang construction distributes weight evenly for a steadier hand, while the Pakkawood handle, accented by a signature mosaic pin, provides a comfortable, secure grip during longer tasks.
