My Favorite Bread Knife
I've had a few different bread knives, some more expensive than others. They worked pretty well and all were uncoated metal. At one point I was looking for something to score the loaves before putting them in the oven and somewhere a certain coated knife was recommended. I got one and it turned out that the knife didn't work much better than a razor blade but I did notice that the dough didn't stick to it.
One problem I have found with the uncoated metal bread knives is that they would pick up some of the moist bread after cutting a few times and then begin to drag. So I'd have to clean it off in the sink. Still, they did seem to drag somewhat, particularly when cutting moist bread. So, I thought maybe a coated bread knife might work better. Remembering the coated one I'd tried, I bought the bread knife version. Wow! It worked so well and was very inexpensive. It has some sort of coating on the blade and goes through the bread like butter without tearing. I do run my fingers across the surface a bit in case there is some residue but if there is any it comes off without water. I also bought a polyethylene board so the edge wouldn't get dulled with use.
So I thought I'd share what I found. Here are the links:
