Victorinox Fibrox Pro 8-inch Bread Knife
An 8-inch bread knife is the right size for sandwich loaves, baguettes and rolls on an everyday board. This Victorinox Fibrox Pro bread knife has pointed serrations that bite into a crust with very little downward pressure, so the loaf is cut rather than crushed.Start each slice at the far side of the crust with the tip, then saw back and forth with long, light strokes until the blade reaches the board. Let the teeth do the work; pressing down flattens a soft crumb.The same edge slices tomatoes and soft-skinned fruit cleanly, and it levels small cake layers and splits rolls for sandwiches. The textured handle stays secure when your hands are floured.For large rounds of sourdough, the Fibrox Pro 10.25-inch Bread Knife has more reach. The Fibrox Pro 7-inch Offset Bread Knife raises the handle for knuckle clearance, and the Hardwood 8-inch Bread Knife has a wood handle. The table in the Details compares all Victorinox bread knives.

Dexter-Russell Sani-Safe 3.5-inch Net Knife with Sheath
A net knife lives on a fishing boat for cutting through tangled netting and line. Dexter-Russell’s Sani-Safe utility and net knife has a 3.5-inch blade with a scalloped edge that, per Dexter, glides through nets, and Dexter lists line, bait and produce among its other jobs. Ashore it is just as versatile, for food preparation, as a produce knife and even as a box cutter. DEXSTEEL suits a scalloped edge well, since the steel is very tough and the scallops do not bend easily. Fishermen rely on it for net repair, and it is a favorite on shrimp boats for deveining shrimp and gutting fish. This version comes with a sheath, so it can be clipped within reach on deck and stowed safely between uses. The sheath is made in the USA, holds the knife with a very tight fit and clips to the belt, so the knife will not go overboard.
With or Without the Sheath?The same knife without a sheath is the Sani-Safe 3.5-inch Utility and Net Knife, a good spare for the galley or the kitchen. Learn More$15.99 -

Mercer Millennia 10-inch Wide Bread Knife

The Millennia 10-inch Wide Bread Knife reaches across a large loaf in one stroke, and its wavy edge cuts the crust with light sawing strokes, so the soft crumb inside is not crushed.The blade is taller than a standard bread knife, which helps it track straight down through a tall loaf and gives the knuckles room above the board. The same length and height make it useful for leveling cake layers, slicing a pineapple or melon through the rind, and cutting sandwiches.It is stamped from high-carbon Japanese steel and light in the hand, with a textured Santoprene and polypropylene handle and a finger guard.

F. Dick ProDynamic 9-inch Offset Serrated Knife
Two more inches of serrated edge than the 7-inch model let this ProDynamic offset knife cross a wide boule, a sub roll or a sheet of focaccia in one stroke. Delis and bakeries use the offset shape so the hand stays above the board. The ProDynamic offset serrated knives are among our best sellers for their build quality and value.The blade sits lower than the handle, so the cutter can push straight through to the board without scraping knuckles. Wide gaps between the serrations help the edge last, and a smooth section at the tip finishes the cut cleanly. The soft handle has a thumb rest that steadies a pinch grip.The longer edge also levels and splits cake layers in one pass, which keeps each layer even for stacking.For tomatoes and smaller sandwiches, the 7-inch ProDynamic offset serrated knife is easier to handle.
