Miyabi Black 9.5-inch Bread Knife

Clean Cuts Through Crust and Crumb


The Miyabi Black 9.5-inch Bread Knife is a serrated blade for bakers and cooks who slice bread daily. The serrations bite into hard crusts while the thin blade passes through the crumb with little downward pressure, so soft interiors keep their shape. Its length clears wide boules and long loaves in full strokes.




Construction and Performance



  • Ultra-hard core steel. Serrated edges are slow to resharpen, so the hard powder steel core earns its keep here by holding the points of each serration through heavy use.

  • Ice-hardened blade. Sub-zero hardening stabilizes the steel for added hardness and corrosion resistance.

  • Flower Damascus cladding. Stainless layers protect the hard core along the full length of the blade.

  • Honbazuke-finished serrations. Hand finishing gives the serrations a clean bite that starts a cut without slipping on smooth or glazed crusts.

  • D-shaped handle. The traditional Japanese profile gives steady control during long sawing strokes. Each handle’s grain and color are unique.




Best Uses



  • Slicing crusty sourdough, boules and baguettes

  • Slicing brioche, challah and sandwich loaves without tearing

  • Splitting cake layers

  • Slicing ripe tomatoes and citrus

  • Portioning large sandwiches


For roasts and fish, where a smooth edge gives a cleaner face, use the Miyabi Black 9.5-inch Sujihiki Slicing Knife.
