Questions & Answers

A serrated knife should be sharpened by hand. How should one go about doing this?

The question is a good one. A city with a population of 2 million is home to me. There are several firms within 1,000 square miles of our city that specialize in sharpening scissors and knives for people who cut hair on animals, people, or who are able to mail the blades for paper and fabric to people nearby. A knife is their bread and butter. They can cut meat, vegetables and bread. The serrated edge of my blade doesn't need to be sharpened by me Get a professional to help you.

Can you tell me how wide the blade (for a knife block) is?

I am very pleased with this knife. I am sure you will not I have mine for a couple years now, get a fair amount of use out of it, and it's still in great shape!

Does the knife have serrations on one side or the other?

To the right of the knife are two serrations.

I think this is the best It's OK
5/5

To illustrate my point, here is what I've done 1 .
Bread knife from Cutco- When it's sharp, it's good. However, when you dull it it's terrible. It has been returned to me. *cf. next section. I am Henkles I didn't like it that much. * * *3. The iconic Wursthof brand The good news. The sharpness doesn't fade. 2.

3. In Cangshan, China Now that knife. It is insanely sharp.

And I used to love it. Using little to no pressure, I easily cut through a souring dough bowl. In fact, I moved the blade from side to side, resting it on the top of the bread, then gripping it only by my thumb/pointer finger and slowly moving it After taking hold, it began to slice into the bread with ease. However, on the basis of the initial cuts? A six-star rating is definitely deserved, and it deserves every penny you pay for it.

The cost of living is approximately 120 dollars per month Stainless steel bread knife from Japan that can be sharpened
3/5

Most bread knives are the same way out of the package. It's just that the tickets are $20, The blade of this knife is more durable than most bread knives, but it will still wear out and become dull over time. You might as well throw them away with the $20 ones if it happens on you, as sharpening does not work. Unlike regular knives that are sharpened by grinding away material like regular knives are, Shun's will only "hone" it for you, but not actually restore its serrations. The disposable knives will last way longer than this one, and you will probably be cutting bread with sharp knives for much longer than you will be The concept of Japanese bread knives is rather interesting, isn't it?.

It's time to take good care of your loaf
5/5

In my Jeep, I have a winch I rarely use, but when I got stuck in the snow last winter, having the winch really made a difference as opposed to alternative method of getting out. Bread knives aren't something you use very often, which is why you may think, well why spending even more money on something that won't even be used more than once or twice a month? The machine is also useful with tomatoes, potatoes, and other foods that get smashed easily when cut. It is the right thing to do, so just make the move.

5/5

My fear of guns has never even touched the grip of a weapon that I have ever held. For the first time, I am now forced to pay absolute and complete attention to what I am doing because this knife is so sharp. The only time I get a knick in the finger with a knife is once or twice per year in the kitchen. I would quite possibly wound myself very badly if I were even a little bit careless with this. In order to see what it was capable of, I spatchcocked a chicken for fun. I would have thought it must have had osteoporosis if it had cut through the chicken's backbone so easily. You should consider this knife if you want a quality knife to make food prep as fast and efficient as possible. Be warned, though it has a very sharp edge.

The purpose of this purchase was Since that knife was so good, it is amazing that this one is even better
5/5

A hard crust doesn't hinder it from moving smoothly. Moisture makes it difficult for anything to stick to the bread when cutting Even if you use it, you can't tell. Additionally, cantaloupe, tomatoes, and other large fruits can be cut with ease with the knife. In order to acquire more Shuns I will need to purchase them.

It is a good bread knife
5/5

I'd read great things about it before, but at this price point, I honestly felt I couldn't afford to buy one. When you start out using a Shun, it's effortless and quick to slice, so if you've been using a lesser bread knife, start small and work up to a faster pace.

This is incredible! All of the positive reviews are true
5/5

With this knife, I can cut through the bread like a pro. I bake bread every week and my old, cheap knife had been ruining my beautiful loaves. Now, I have this amazing bread knife. While this knife is a bit pricey, if you use it on a daily basis, you will enjoy its utility. This knife cuts thin slices without tearing the bread, is a joy to use, and is VERY sharp (be careful when cleaning it). My heart skips a beat when I hear it.

The system is simple to use
5/5

We have owned a few Shun knives for years and they have been useful and sharp. In the past, I used a Wusthof bread knife that was very good, but some loaves were difficult to cut, so I decided to try the Shun bread knife. I can slice bread so much more easily with this knife than with any other one I have ever owned. As long as it holds its edge, I have no reason to think there will be any problems, it is too new to comment on durability, though I take good care of my knives.
