This bread knife cuts hard crusted breads like butter, the thickness of the blade makes it very firm yet it does not create too much drag when slicing. The Shun bread knife really is an outstanding knife which is beautifully made, and cuts through all types of bread better than any bread knife I’ve ever owned.
