8 1/2 inch Serrated Bread Knife - Lightweight Japanese Stainless Steel, Razor-Sharp Edge, Made in Japan, G-9

I ordered a Global Santoku knife a while back from a recommend in a knife forum. Turns out it was a great knife, and it quickly became my wife’s favorite kitchen knife - we had Zwilling/Henkels for the most part before I got these. They’re light weight, keep the edge for a reasonable amount of time (they all get dull, these commercials for the “world’s sharpest knife!” are silly, whack stuff up on a cutting board, go through some turkeys and roasts and it’s as dull as the $4 knife at the dollar store). They’re kitchen knives, so rust really isn’t an issue. They’re also lightweight (I believe on the bigger knives, the handle has a hollow cavity) – it’s all one-piece construction, so no handles coming off or getting damaged or destroyed by washing or leaving it too close to a burner. For Christmas I decided to replace all of our Zwilling/Henkel knives with Global knives. I ordered them à la carte – like everybody else, Global’s big sets had more than I needed and not enough of what I wanted, so if you see this review in multiple places, that the reason. Anyway, the 8.5” bread knife is very nice, functional and worth the money.

I always wanted a nice set of knives and found Global. For a birthday or holiday I’ll buy myself one. This is the bread knife and it is amazing. Besides bread, I use to slice larger vegetables. My set is growing.

We have other Global knives in this G-9 style so this is a nice match. Met all of our expectations for a Global knife. Sharp, nicely weighted without being to heavy and fits our hands comfortably. Blade length is ideal for breads and bagels. Cuts cleanly in a few strokes.

I love this knife. It was a pricey purchase, considering I began to make bread at home to save money and be in control of what goes into the bread I feed my family. But this knife makes slicing my loaves so enjoyable, it was worth it. The long Serrated cuts quickly cleanly. It doesn't squish soft bread or break up crusty bread. And it's so easy to get even slices. Careful though, the blade is super sharp! I love Global knives. This one had the great Global "dimpled" handle. I am really happy to add this bread knife to my growing collection.

Great for sourdough bread

I love Global knives - all of them. The value is phenomenal. This bread knife is no exception. It does a good job with bread but where it really shines - BAGELS! I have cut myself numerous times using small or dull knives trying to slice a bagel. This Global bread knife cuts them open with little to no effort. Very crusty bread - not a problem! I have had this knife for about a year and its as sharp as the day I got it so its very durable.

I am going to own my bias front and center. I love Global knives. I own several and they are all fantastic. However, I almost didn't buy this bread knife after making easy work of a french baguette at my sisters using a cheap electric knife. I just wasn't sure if even a Global product could get such thin pieces of bread without damaging the structure. Purchasing this knife was the right choice. Per the usual, the weight of blade feels amazing in your hands. Most impressive for me is that it feels great for me (comically large hands) as well as my significant other (small hands). The real star of the show is how efficiently and smoothly the knife cuts bread. I've used it with a variety of styles and each one has been effortless. I even once used it to cut a piece of precut sandwich bread into two thinner pieces. Overall, if you like Global knives you will not regret this purchase, thin or thick it does a great job of cutting bread.

It's much lighter than I expected, hence the 4 (instead of 5) stars ... I guess I have this weird thing where I expect a knife in my hand to have some weight to it. It performed even better than I had hoped, though. While I've used it to slice bagels, my primary reason for purchasing this knife was to slice through the outer rind of pineapples. As far as I'm concerned, this is a pineapple knife! I had been using a cheap chef's knife before and nearly cut my fingers off a few times, before deciding the price tag on this was worth it.

Bought as a gift - my partner described it as a “light sabre cutting through bread”. Super sharp and the high quality we expect from Global knives.

just purchased the bread knife to add to my global collection. Very impressed. Does the job well, looks smart, and completes my set...(for the meantime) when I can afford to buy the meat clever I just might treat myself! Delivery and packaging all A+!

A great bread knife is essential. This one is pleasant to hold and powers through even stale or partially frozen bread, it has aggressive serrations that make it easy. If it is like my other Global knives I expect it to stay sharp for many years. It's not cheap but when you consider the cost of a lifetime purchase, it should be divided by the number of years you expect to use it.

Very fine quality. Great for sourdough - and left-handers! As an extreme left- hander,I've found that dept-store bread knives are not bevelled finely enough for us to cut evenly. This one does - well worth the price!
