    i been using the Victorinox tomato knife to slice bread (https://www.amazon.com.au/dp/B000WLFNLI), which i got for $6

    • Gojkins on 24/03/2022 - 10:28

      Yep same, love the Victorinox but tired of using a small knife and wanted something bigger. The Victorinox bread knife is more expensive from what I could find so thought I would give this one a go.

        I have the Victorinox bread knife and can confirm it’s absolutely worth the price, especially if you buy irregular shaped loaves.

        Had to buy an additional one for the old man because he would always complain his global bread knife pales in comparison despite being 3 times the price

              @Gojkins: I like the look of the handle on the Tojiro you posted personally especially if you are going to keep it out in the kitchen

              I do have the smaller tomato knives and can't fault the blade like everyone else.

    What's the original price in Oz? How much of a saving this price?

      RRP $50-55… decent knife, but not sure if I'd pay that much for a bread knife.

    Not sure about the price, but a (long) bread knife is a must have in every kitchen. Much in the same way for a pizza slicer too.

          I agree that the wooden Japanese knife looks better, but for my kitchen durability rules. The more ugly plastic handle, and the known blade quality and durability gets me over the line with the Victorinox. I throw everything in the dishwasher, but I know for a fact Japanese blades don't like dishwashers. My Global's are hand wash only. This Victorinox bread knife goes in with the rest of them.

    I have this knife, I can't recommend it enough. From what I've heard it's comparable to the Victorinox but after doing a fair bit of research, I found more support for the Tojiro. Plus it looks good next to my other Japanese knives :)

  • Sir Flabo on 24/03/2022 - 11:18

    I have had this knife for years and used it on thick crust sourdough - it cuts like a monster! Doesn't crush the bread, just slices the f****r - I bought it years ago for ~$40 on amazon. It's still sharp as, but I will buy another just incase (to my knowledge you can't sharpen a bread knife)

  • Tana on 24/03/2022 - 11:28

    We bought this a few years ago after reading this article (https://www.seriouseats.com/best-bread-serrated-knives-equip…). It's amazing for not only bread but we use it to slice other things too:

    • tomatoes (serrated motion means you aren't crushing the skin it so can get really nice slices)
    • water melon, rockmelons etc (easy to slice through the hard shell)
    • raw pork belly rind (can be hard to cut through with chef knives but very easy with this)

    Another alternative is the IKEA 365+ Bread Knife for $30. Brought it about 2 years ago and used it about 2-3 times per week. Works well and still very sharp.

    Any advice on a brisket knife peeps? Or this knife on brisket?

    • kickling on 24/03/2022 - 11:50

      Don't use serrated on brisket.

      I have a Messermeister slicer that is very similar to Victorinox. It's alright. Has a scalloped side. The blade is long, but a bit flexy.

      I've seen some really nice Dalstrong knives (a friend is sponsored).

      But honestly, just get a nice slicer/carver of good length.

    • OzBragain on 24/03/2022 - 12:06

      Might not be the most practical but if you want to look the part then can't beat something like a 14" Old Hickory for full briskets

      https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/163652146248

      Carbon steel so needs oiling but easy to sharpen and hey…it looks cool.

      For practicality then go for slicer/carver as recommended by kickling. I find extra blade length and a sharp edge is handy for something like slow cooked brisket.

      • jaypeee on 24/03/2022 - 12:31

        Thanks guys, I've got one of these: https://files.knifecenter.com/knifecenter/claude_dozorme/ima… But I find that it squashes soft smoke meats rather than slice through. I've actually had better experience with a bread knife…

        • OzBragain on 24/03/2022 - 13:25

          But I find that it squashes soft smoke meats rather than slice through

          Needs sharpening. What do you use to maintain the edge?

          • jaypeee on 24/03/2022 - 13:48

            @OzBragain: One of those metal sword looking things

            • OzBragain on 24/03/2022 - 14:06

              @jaypeee: Okay, that's a steel and it's used for honing rather than sharpening. Honing is straightening the edge whereas sharpening is removing metal to create a new edge.

              Both are necessary to maintain a sharp edge but a honing steel will only get you so far.

              I'd suggest looking at a few sharpening videos to help you decide what will work for you.

              Minosharp is probably the easiest. It's a pull through sharpener that uses stone wheels. It's also the least versatile.

              Something like a Ruxin Pro would be the next step up. Choice of stones/diamond plates and choice of angle. Still easy to use but a little more involved than the Minosharp.

              Whetstones are next but not everyone can be bothered. There's more practice involved to get it right but not as difficult as some people make out.

              Whatever you choose, the ability to sharpen your own knives is well worth it.

              • jaypeee on 24/03/2022 - 14:38

                @OzBragain: Brilliant advice mate. Thanks so much.

                  @jaypeee: Or, you can pay a person to sharpen them for you, then continue to hone.

                  It used to be $1 per cm for a mobile knife guy to do it.

  • 87percent on 24/03/2022 - 12:11

    does it come with any cover for the blade?

    • FitzChivalry Farseer on 24/03/2022 - 12:26

      Good point. Bought a 10" mercer culinary bread knife earlier this year for $30 delivered from Amazon and it came the next day - absolutely love it. Sadly the knife guard to match (10"x1.5") is only available from the US and $15 delivered.

      Assume there are cheap generic covers available that are just as good - it is only the edge that meeds to be protected after all.
