The handle is made from Japanese Zelkova and is lightweight and comfortable. The blade is 240mm long, enough for most types and sizes of bread. The edge features 2 types of serrations, helping it function well on both hard and soft breads, and its thin nature helps keep crumbs to a minimum. The more aggressive serrations at the tip function to begin cuts through harder and more crusty breads, while the serrations in the middle and near the heel work best once the cut has begun and for softer or more delicate items. Although we’ve known this maker for years, it was actually my repeated use of this knife at my in-law’s house, where this functions as their main bread knife, that was the convincing factor in wanting to provide it to our customer base.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli id=\"tab-detailed-specs\"\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eKnife Type:\u003c\/strong\u003e Bread Knife\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSteel Type:\u003c\/strong\u003e DSR1K6\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHandle Type:\u003c\/strong\u003e Western\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eConstruction Type:\u003c\/strong\u003e Mono-Steel\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHand Orientation:\u003c\/strong\u003e Ambidextrous\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli id=\"tab-measurements\"\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHandle Length:\u003c\/strong\u003e 118mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHandle Height:\u003c\/strong\u003e 26.31mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHandle Width:\u003c\/strong\u003e 13.51mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHandle to Tip Length:\u003c\/strong\u003e 250mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWidth of Spine at Handle:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1.73mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWidth of Spine at Heel:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1.61mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWidth of Spine at Middle:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1.43mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWidth of Spine 1cm from the Tip:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.84mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBlade Height at Heel:\u003c\/strong\u003e 24mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight:\u003c\/strong\u003e 76g\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"position: absolute; left: 331px; top: 356.719px;\" id=\"gtx-trans\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"gtx-trans-icon\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Shizu Hamono Seisakusyo","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":39373860831293,"sku":"MORI240BREAD","price":40.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0994\/0120\/products\/MN7A9940.png?v=1655511493"},{"product_id":"gen-190mm-kurouchi-bunka","title":"Gen 190mm Kurouchi Bunka","description":"\u003cul class=\"tabs\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003ca class=\"active\" href=\"#tab-description\"\u003eProduct Description\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003ca href=\"#tab-detailed-specs\"\u003eDetailed Specs\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003ca href=\"#tab-measurements\"\u003eMeasurements\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cul class=\"tabs-content\"\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"active\" id=\"tab-description\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Gen series is a stainless-clad VG10 knife made in Seki, and happens to be a very enjoyable version of VG10 to use and sharpen.
