A very versatile bread knife from Japanese brand Nisaku.

The knife has a slightly curved, serrated blade that slices smoothly through bread, even those with a tough crust. The blade is also ground with a shinogi line, meaning the lower part of the blade is very thin and precise. Another standout feature is the thoughtful design where the handle meets the blade. Nisaku has designed the knife so that the handle sits high in relation to the blade, which is very practical as it prevents your knuckles from hitting the cutting board.

This knife is useful for way more than you might think. Sunday breakfast rolls of course, a piece of meat with a tough crust where you're hesitant to use your delicate Japanese chef's knife, a head of lettuce, etc.
