How to use a bread knife for perfect slices?

Hold the bread firmly and saw gently with your bread knife, letting the sharp VG10 steel do the work. For crusty sourdough, a gentle back-and-forth motion ensures clean, even slices without crushing the crumb.

How to maintain and clean a Japanese kitchen knife?

Wash your knife by hand with mild soap and dry immediately to preserve its sharpness. Avoid dishwasher use. Regular honing and occasional sharpening will keep your VG10 knife performing at its best.

What makes this the best bread knife for sourdough?

The VG10 steel blade offers superior edge retention and sharpness, making it easy to slice through dense, crusty sourdough without tearing or crushing. Its textured tsuchime finish also helps reduce sticking for cleaner cuts.
