Serrated bread knives make cutting bread easier — especially soft fresh bread that you cut right after baking.

I prefer bread knives with a finer serration that includes a part of the blade without serration. The combination of a serrated and non-serrated section on a single blade works great together.

If you have a really sharp regular chef’s knife, you don’t have to buy a specialized serrated bread knife, but a serrated knife will always make it a little easier.

The best blade length is 8 – 10″.
