Chroma Type 301 Designed By F.A. Porsche 8 1/2 inch Bread knife

The Chroma Type 301 bread knife features a very sharp, 8-1/2-inch serrated blade that slices efficiently through soft or crusty loaves. You'll also find it slices tomatoes beautifully. Weighty and well-balanced, this knife will bring you years of pleasure. After use, Chroma knives should be immediately washed and dried by hand, and placed in a storage block for safekeeping. Because of the serrated blade, this knife must be professionally resharpened. Chroma Type 301 knives make exceptional gifts and are covered by a lifetime warranty against defects. --Ann Bieri

Product Description
Chroma type 301: 8 1/2" Bread Knife P06

Their unusual design is not only stylish, but functional. The wider handle design makes them easy to hold onto, even when your hands are wet or greasy. (Not the case with the other two.) The knives are also heavy and extremely well balanced, giving you a solid feel when you cut through something. Finally, they are forged out of just one piece of metal, so there are no seams (like on the Wusthof Culinar line) between the handle and the blade, making them a breeze to clean up with a little soapy water. (As with all good knives, they should never be put in the dishwasher.)

This bread knife cuts through soft or hard bread with ease. It is so sharp that I think it will be a long time before it needs sharpening. (For comparison, I use some of the other knives in my set every day, have had them for 3 months, and I'm just thinking of sharpening for the first time soon.)

I really don't think you could go wrong with this knife.
