- Fabulous knife at a great price
Cuts bread from my machine very easily and doesn't make as much of a mess as other knives. Price is also very good for such a quality knife.

- the crumbless wonder
I've only used stamped serrated bread knives with tiny little teeth that create a mess and take some work.
I was amazed at the few crumbs this knife produced when cutting. With the weight of the knife it helps in making even slices very easy with minimum effort. Good value too.

- Nice
I have used stamped, serrated knives for bread duty for some time. I really didn't think that anything else was needed. Most of my sandwich bread, as well as all of my ethnic bread is made here at home, so it pretty much gets sliced on the fly.

When I bought this knife, I was impressed by the way that the extra heft of the forged blade cut through crust without complaint. I also bought a plastic "bread keeper" (which works very well), and it included a plastic slicing guide. I noticed that the Calphalon bread knife was able to produce consistant, thin sandwich slices with less effort than the lighter stamped knives. The slices are also smooth and straight, and are made with less crumbs. You can live without this knife, but it does the job just a little bit better, and it looks and feels wonderful.
