The Pure Komachi 2 Bread Knife is the lightest, easiest to use bread knife ever. Whether your bread is thick and crusty or delicately tender, this knife is built to slice through easily with no tearing and fewer crumbs. The key is the wide serrations. Unlike some bread knives with sawtooth serrations, Pure Komachi 2's wide serrations are gentler on your bread loaf without sacrificing slicing power. If you like to bake or buy whole loaves of bread, this fun-to-use bread knife is a must. Also works well on bagels, pastries, and even pineapples. Like all Pure Komachi 2 knives, the Bread Knife offers brilliant performance. The bright colors on both blade and handle make Pure Komachi 2 knives fun to use and they add eye-catching color to your kitchen. What's more, those bright colors have a purpose. The color-coding helps guard against cross-contamination of food—for instance, by using the knife you just used on the meat to cut the veggies. The coated carbon stainless steel blades, hand-sharpened to a 16° cutting angle on each side, make quick work of most any kitchen task. The molded resin handles and comfortable and contoured for a secure grip. The blade coating is food safe and easy clean. While they are dishwasher safe, we recommend hand washing to prolong the life of your blade as well as the colorful blade coating. Pure Komachi 2 knives now come with a matching sheath for easy storage.
