Bread Knife is the Second Most Used Knife in My Kitchen,

This review is from: Sabatier Precision 8-Inch Stainless Steel Bread Knife (Kitchen)
If you are putting together a set of Sabatier Precision knives, I recommend that you add this one to your collection. (If you buy the 15-Piece Sabatier Precision Set, this 8-Inch Bread Knife is included.) I don't bake bread every day, so I the love the ritual of buying fresh sourdough baguettes to go with meals. I don't even remember what I did before I had a serrated bread knife. This bread knife is full tang, so it will last a long time (and will probably not need sharpening) when used with proper care. The heft and feel of the handle is not so important in a serrated bread knife as it would be in a good quality high carbon, all steel chef's knife. Another reason for having a serrated bread knife (from someone who wrote to "Cook's Illustrated") would be using it to lift a few strands of spaghetti from boiling water to test for al dente.
