I bought a bread maker and needed a bread knife since I was making so much bread. This seemed like a solid knife at a great price. Turns out it is. Very sharp and cuts through bread like... Butter I guess.

These are really good and they look nicer than most. Can even be sharpened and wash easily.

Good cheap knife. Rusted at the hilt a bit. Overall, it’s sharp and is lightweight.

The blade felt very sturdy. Nice grip. This is a fresh loaf of bread and very tender, it cut very nicely.I ordered this knife because I’m visiting my sister. I didn’t want to spend a lot on a bread knife that I’ll use only when visiting. I bought a hand crafter lovely sourdough bread from my favorite home baker. It was baked a couple hours before cutting the bread. I was so shocked how sturdy it is and now nice it sliced. I’m buying another one for at home as a back up.

these are very good quality Knives, easy to Handle & use, we like them V-Much.

I look forward whenever I need a sharp knife to using this knife because it's so easy to cut with. I'm not sure if it's all stainless steel because I have noticed a stubborn discoloration on the blade , but that might be just a place I need to clean more.

Light weight and perfect for bread and meats

J’avais pas lu les autres commentaires. J’aurai du. C’est pas des couteaux de qualité. Je pensais vu le prix. Il tache et rouille facilement. Le bloc est solide par contre. Aussi la couleur ce n’est pas pistachio mais aqua. Je vais attendre plus tard et me racheter un set de qualité d’une autre marque.

Nice grip and really sharp

if the blade was an inch less there would be better control. alright

Received as described

This is a decent knife, but not great. The blade is sharp, but the handle feels just meh with its rubber handle.However, the annoying part for me is that this is NOT a serated knife, which was what I was looking for, and what was written in the description. I won't be returning it as it was 10$ and can still be useful, but it wasn't what I was looking for.
