Do I need a bread knife? If so, which one? Tojiro?

[Dave Martell]

I was trolling around a German site after a link in another thread, and this Schanz bread knife looks cool -- but it is 180 Euro. Scalloping aside, I think it has a sleek look. That one is screaming for a Dave rehandle to make it look extra sexy.

Ooooo.....how big is that?

BTW, the German sites always have the best bread knives.

These are the specs (in German)

Stahl : 1.2552
Klingenstärke : 2,8mm
Klingenlänge : 280mm
Gesamtlänge : 395mm
Griffmaterial : Papiermicarta
HRC 60

Basispreis mit Micarta € 180.-

So it is only 11 inches on the blade I think, and 15.5 overall.

Looks like standard length but kind of short for a monster bread knife.

That's how I got my Henckels twin set too... two knives were cheaper than one. I think their strategy was colonisation. Clog up your knife block so no competitors settle in. G.Steel all the way...

Yes, I guess you are right. But I must say that my Henckels Chefs knife feels more comfortable in the hand that Kasumi Guyto's one, despite being sharper and beautiful with it's damascus pattern :knife:
