Awesome Bread Knife

The bread knife works great. I have used it on various breads I have bought from the bakery and it cuts clean and quickly. I also am not sawing like I have with other bread knives, leaving a huge mess. It is large but that's why I bought it, I don't have problems with large or small breads. I have always been a big fan of Rada cutlery. I find that they are comparable with the best brands and are a lot cheaper. There are two versions, a black handle and an aluminum handle. Even though the black handled knives are dishwasher safe, I always wash and dry them by hand. I still buy the black handle though because over time the aluminum ones darken. I have a wealth of Rada cutlery and highly recommend them for any knife you need.

Top notch!

I have never heard of this brand before I purchase it a little over a year ago. I am extremely pleased with how well this knife handles just about any kind of bread. I bake Italian, Artisan, and simple regular loaves of bread at least twice a week so I need a reliable knife that can handle different crusts and softness in the middle. This knife has been amazing for all the 15 months I've been using it. I like the length of it, the grip, and how easy I can go back and forth without putting too much pressure. Rada...you're the best!

Clean Slices

I have a bread machine and I use this knife to slice the bread. My old bread knife had very large serrations and basically crushed the loaf. The Rada knife has very fine serrations and cuts cleanly making a nice slice with minimal effort. Highly recommended.

Best bread knife out there!

I love the fact that's it's made in Iowa! Always wanted a good small teeth blade. Length is perfect, weight is excellent. No more mashing down fresh loafs.

Are Rada knives the best knives ever? Absolutely! not. They are, however, the best for the price.

They are good knives, but they are not the best overall. However, you aren't paying for the best overall. The price is excellent. The quality is good. The design is practical. The aesthetics are acceptable. The best part is that you are paying a low price for a product made in the USA, and it is a quality product. You can assemble a full set of these knives for the price of one of the best knives. When these knives wear out, you can replace them, and still save money over the better options. Now for this item specifically. It is a bread knife. It cuts bread well. What more needs to be said?

If your current bread knife is driving you crazy, try this before spending a fortune on another knife.

First, let me say that the bread knife I have been using is from a "Martha Stewart" block set that I have had, but not used, for some time. That knife is quite heavy, full tang, and looks quite nifty. Unfortunately, it sucks at cutting bread. I bake my own bread, sometimes over the course of 2 or 3 days. My loaves are generally round and large. My old knife simply could not slice a thin cut of bread without tearing it up, and I was tired of ruining the loaf if I wanted a thin slice of bread. Edited: 1/12/16 I apologize for not updating this review. The knife excels at cutting through a crunchy crusted boule. So much so that when I travel with a loaf of freshly baked bread, I bring my Rada knife with me. It is almost like a "hack saw" with its tiny little teeth, and it cuts every loaf whether a white bread made in a pullman pan or a crusty boule baked in a dutch oven, quite readily. If you are new to cutting big round loaves, here is a tip -- stand the loaf on edge, flat side facing you. Grip in one hand and saw through the middle with your knife. Now you have two halves of bread. To make slices, take one half and cut it down the middle (again standing it on edge, crumb side down) and cut along the loaf. This method allows the knife to cut through less bread, meaning less drag, meaning easier cut. It also makes reasonably sized slices of bread that can be used for sandwiches. I don't know how the Rada knife performs on a crunch crust as the loaf I have been using it on was put in a zip lock bag and thus, softened considerably. However, the knife cuts through the bread much much easier than the old knife. And, it lets me cut very thin slices of the bread without making a lot of crumbs and without tearing the bread. The blade is a bit flimsy and I can see that it might have trouble with a crunchier crust. I will update after I make such a loaf and cut it within a few hours of baking.

Wonderful products

Wonderful knife, I now own about 5 Rada products and have been very pleased with them.

Most Excellent for Bee Keepers!

I love this knife! It cuts bread perfectly. It also works better than a hot knife for decapping honey combs. It is so thin that you can use moderate pressure against the frame to "bow" the blade inward under caps in places where the bees haven't drawn the comb out all the way. Also, with a bit of practice you can "skim" it just under the caps on comb that has been drawn out past the frame (say, when you've put 8 frames in a 10-frame super). By using it a bit like a saw, you cut cleanly through the comb without needing to heat it up. At times it does tear, especially on empty sections of comb, but you simply withdraw it and scrape off the wax build-up onto the edge of a pan and go back to work. I usually start about 1/3 of the way from one end and cut toward that end, then turn the frame around and cut the other 2/3. With practice, both come off in one slab.

At last--a knife that doesn't destroy my home baked bread

I have several Rada knives, and this bread knife is wonderful. It doesn't mush down your bread while you are cutting the loaf and saws through the crust and the soft inner part beautifully. Nice even slices. So glad to find a knife that doesn't ruin my home baked bread.

perfect for me

I was looking for a knife with little saw teeth as the one I was using for bread is a little dangerous. hard to find this old fashioned kind. light, stainless, and made in USA.
