TOJIRO JAPAN Hand Made Chef Bread Knife Slicer Cutter, 10.6" Blade - Reinforced Laminated Material

The best bread knife I've ever owned. Just WOW!!! Super sharp, easy care and cuts bread like a hot knife thru butter. Worth the price. My neighbor introduced me to this bad girl by showing me how to make biscotti. You need a sharp knife to cut the baked dough at the end of the process. I immediately bought one. It works well with tomatoes, too.

I bought it thinking, “It’s a bread knife. How life changing can it be?” Turns out, very. This thing slices through crusty sourdough like it’s apologizing for the inconvenience. No crushing, no sawing like I’m cutting down a tree in the backyard, no tragic bread collapse. Just clean, beautiful slices that make me look far more competent than I really am. The serrated blade is the real deal, and the wooden handle gives it that “I take sandwiches seriously” energy. It feels less like a kitchen tool and more like a quiet Japanese professional who shows up, does flawless work, and leaves without bragging. Meanwhile, I’m standing there cutting tomato bread so neatly I’m considering charging admission. It’s also fantastic for anything with a tough outside and soft inside. Artisan loaves, sandwich bread, pastries, probably the fabric of space-time. Hand wash it, respect it, and it will reward you by making every other bread knife in your drawer feel like a plastic butter spreader.

Shipped from Japan and arrived earlier than expected. As with many made-in-Japan knives, the construction is high quality: the stainless steel blade and laminated handle are well balanced and a pleasure to use. The blade is so sharp that slicing requires little sawing movement.

I tested and tried cutting by sourdough bread with many knives before ending in a bunch of bread crumbs everywhere every time... But that's over with this one! It's just perfect! It's super light weight, sharp as hell!! I would not allow anybody to be close to me when I'm using it because is extremely sharp and that makes the cutting as simple as cutting butter, no crumbs anymore, I can cut the slices as thin as I want (something I could not do before with other knives) or as thick as I need always with perfect surface to spread the butter or cream cheese or whatever you want on top, the holes of the bread will look awesome and no waste of bread with this. It has a little curve on the blade that allows reaching the bottom of the bread easily with no complications like with straight blades. It's worth every penny, I'm very very satisfied with this!! Will look for more knife types of this same brand if available.

This knife is made in Japan, and feels great. I got this for cutting small loaves of bread from my local bakery... this is my longest knife. So far, no problems with this knife. I wash it by hand in cold or warm water and dry it immediately. I leave it out on the counter to dry for a day or two, and then put it away in my knife drawer. It is stored upright with the blade facing down, in a plastic organizer. Hopefully this is enough for it to have a long life. No dishwasher. No soaking. No hot water. And, no lateral force. I would hate it if the blade broke. This is a great bread knife.

Tojiro bread knife: Lightweight and deceptively sharp. Slices through a crust like butter with minimal effort – a real plus during a busy service. Easy to maneuver, doesn't tire out the wrist. For a bread knife, it's surprisingly nimble. Good value for the performance. Only issue is it doesn’t fit in a traditional knife holder due to its length.

Literally the best bread knife I have ever used!

Beautiful knife. Cuts through my crusty homemade sourdough loaves easily. The long blade is great for cutting the rustic round loaves. There are some inexpensive options that work well too. However this knife is a real treat to own.

Zuerst - wieder einmal - Dank an globalkitchen.japan für die schelle, einwandfreie Abwicklung. Zum Messer selber: Dies ist nach Nakiri, 21cm Gyuto und dem kleinen Pettymesser (alle aus der Pro Reihe) das vierte Küchenmesser von Tojiro. Was mir generell an Tojiro gefällt: sehr gute Qualität zu einem günstigen Preis. Das Brotmesser war so ein Thema für sich. Da bin ich lange drumrumgeschlichen. Und heute, nachdem ich das erste Mal ein Steinofenbrot geschnitten habe, fühle ich mich zum auf-die-Knie-fallen. Das Messer ist das beste Brotmesser, das ich je in den Händen hatte. Die Länge ist perfekt. Zuvor habe ich mich oft über ungenügende 21cm geärgert, das ist vorbei. 27cm sind weder zu kurz noch zu lang. Ideal. So werden die Brotscheiben gleichmäßig geschnitten. Durch die gebogene Klinge kann ich problemlos bis auf das Brett schneiden, ohne wie vorher mit einer geraden Klinge Verrenkungen anzustellen. Durch die etwas höhere Klinge sind meine Knöchel weg vom Brett. Der Griff ist genau richtig für meine mittelgroßen Hände, auch die Freundin mit ihren kleinen Händen kommt sehr gut damit zurecht. Der Wellenschliff ist verboten scharf. Noch nie habe ich mit so wenig Kraftaufwand und so wenig "Zielen" so gleichmäßige, schöne Brotscheiben geschnitten. Das macht richtig Spaß :) Einen kleinen Negativpunkt habe ich trotzdem: Die Griffschalen waren an der Unterseite nicht optimal angepasst, da war eine kleine scharfe Kante. Habe das beim Messermacher rauspolieren lassen (Hier vielen Dank für den freundlichen, kompetenten und preiswerten Servive der Firma Chesi in Nürnberg). Trotz des zusätzlichen Aufwands bin ich so glücklich mit dem Messer, dass ich subjektiv keinen Stern abziehen werde. Das scheint auch ein Einzelfall zu sein, alle anderen Griffschalen meiner Tojiromesser sind perfekt. Fazit: Unbedingt zuschlagen.

Ottimo coltello da pane, credo sia il migliore, meglio di Global e miyabi di cui sono proprietario appunto dei modelli seghettati. Sono Chef e cuoco ormai da 15 anni ,mai trovato tanto ben con un coltello.

It took six weeks to get to the UK and it was well worth the wait . I would recommend this knife to anyone . It's razor sharp and cuts bread with ease . I'm very impressed. And at this price it's an absolute bargain and 100% genuine . Edit I have had two of these knives over the years still have them both the initial price was far cheaper making this knife value for money . However with the constant price increase I’d probably look for another alternative good knife great edge retention but after extended use the blade becomes very flexible hence why I’ve had to buy more than one . I would buy another one just not at the current price even if it is now on prime

Excelente calidad y el largo es estupendo para mejores cortes

I read several reviews before deciding to buy this knife and it lived up to all the positive things that were said about it. Beautifully crafted, easy to hold and use, razor sharp, and nicely weighted. Cuts through crusty artisan bread like a breeze.
