imarku Fillet Knife, German High Carbon Boning Knife, 6-Inch Stainless Steel Professional Grade Boning Fillet Knife for Fish, Pakkawood Handle for Meat and Poultry, Gifts for Men and Women

At first, I didn't think this knife would really do the job compared to my other bread knife that I got from the county fair many years ago. My old bread knife is over 15 years old but still holds up amazing and I doubted anything could match it. But I wanted to try a new knife, one that had more heft and would be able to cut the bottom crust of homemade sourdough bread. One of the best ways to keep sourdough bread from being hard on the bottom crust is to line the bake pan/ Dutch oven with several layers of parchment that have been sprinkled with corn flour between the layers. This assures that my sourdough bread will come out light and not burned on the bottom. That being said, these knives are sometimes extremely challenged to cut through the bottom crust. My old knife is easily able to cut through the top crust of the bread. Anyone who makes sourdough bread knows that the top crust can be pretty hard, but it's designed that way with a soft and wonderful crumb on the inside. With this new knife, the first cut into the bread has to be very careful. You have to start off gently and very light. I made the mistake of kind of hitting it a bit too fast and hard and the knife skipped off of the bread and cut my finger. I learned my lesson from that one. But I went to cut another piece and cut different finger deeper. Then I try to third time and cut another finger down to the bone. Eventually realized I needed to back off and make the first few cutting motions as delicate as possible. Once I got the knack of it, I was able to work with the knife much easier. It has some decent heft and made cutting through the crust at the bottom much easier and with much less effort. My old knife took four or five draws in order to cut the crust. This new knife took about two draws across the bottom and it was cut all the way. So yes it worked really good for me! I could have avoided cutting my fingers if I had not pressed so hard on the knife expecting it to make those initial cuts through the bread. I realized that it has to be approached very slowly at first and once it makes those first half inch slits on the top crust, Then you can simply go gently through the rest of the bread until you hit the bottom crust. On the bottom crust you can hit it a little more aggressively. It's surprised me that this knife was as good as it was. I didn't expect it to be as good as it was and I was ready to wrap it up and send it back until I realized it was a pretty good knife and is somewhat better than my older one, even though my older one is amazing still! I think for the price it is a decent knife. It comes with two plastic nibs to cover the tip point and the rear corner of the blade. I do not find these things useful or all that protective because they just fall off. The box is elegant and is great for storing. One thing I didn't like about the knife was that once I cut the first loaf, the blade seem to already have linear scratches on it! So I don't know if it's because the metal is softer, or the bread cut through the protective coating if there is one. Maybe it's just part of breaking in a knife. I would give it 4.5 stars But I rated it as five stars because you can't do 4.5.

Superior quality, a must have in any kitchen. Sharp and remains sharp use after use. Whether deboning cut meats, filetting fish, or splitting chicken breast this knife is the tool to grab.

This is an extremely high-quality knife, with an ergonomic designed handle and a super sharp knife edge that is serrated. It's very easy to slice homemade bread with it, and it does not tear the loaf apart. Just be really careful when you clean it because the edge is super sharp. I'm impressed with the weight of this life as well, it is very sturdy in your hand when you're using it, and the balance is right. If you are looking for a high-quality knife, this is one that you can try. it is worth the price, and one of my favorite knives in my kitchen

I was really impressed by this knife. I thought it was great quality, had a great sharp edge on it and was beautifully made. Cleaning it is super easy, and i think it fits in your hands really comfortably.

Great quality... both blade and handle. Started collecting all of this collection

This bread knife is well worth the money. I had pu off buying a bread knife because I just did not think it was necessary. After getting this knife, (because the price was affordable), I have discovered that it is very helpful in slicing bread of all shapes, makes it much easier to slice even slices for sandwiches.

Ok, deceptive when it lists as German but it is made in China. However, I really like the look, and feel and cutting power of this knife. Well balanced, very nice handle, and is packaged very nice. Great on cutting big loaves of sourdough.

Light weight, sharp and just flexible enough for trimming. Love the handle?

Hasta que no cambias de cuchillo no te das cuenta de lo malo que era el anterior. Este cuchillo corta de maravilla, especialmente para panes de hogaza, de payés, que son difíciles de cortar con cuchillos de hoja más corta. Gran compra.

Great lite sharp 6" utility & deboning knife with a nice handle. First used it to cut an onion, red pepper, mushrooms and deboned a chicken drum. Good over all knife that comes in a nice box ( which most don't ) so you can gift it. I wished they would provide a plastic sheath with this knife ( which some knives do ). I have bought many kitchen knives from amazon lately and this brand and company has impressed me with there product presentation.

OK!

This is an absolutely brilliant bread knife and at £10 is exceptional value. I make bread at home and often cut the loaf in half, using one half at a time. This means I am cutting across a soft, non crust side and previously this has resulted in the bread being squashed. Not so with the Imarku. It glides through the softest bread with ease. Also, I've never seen a bread knife with such a long blade so any size loaf catered for. Finally, it would make a lovely present as it comes in an attractive box. Highly recommended.

Cuchillo con sierra muy afilada. Mango perfecto. Cumple con lo publicitado.
