Then we tested more than two dozen bread knives on crusty sourdough and winter vine tomatoes\u2014ideal examples of that tricky firm-outside, soft-inside texture that serrated knives handle so well. We also conduct long-term testing on our top picks to evaluate how they hold up with daily use, noting whether the blades retain their sharpness and if the handles show any signs of cracking.<\/p>\n<hr\/>\n<p><h2>What makes the best bread knife<\/h2>\n<\/p>\n<p>We focused on evaluating the following factors when it came to making our selections:<\/p>\n<div name=\"accordion\" class=\"AccordionWrapper-gvHLGA hNLEov\">\n<div class=\"AccordionItemWrapper-iLIlCF dnShlA\">\n<div class=\"AccordionContainer-gsDmFY iQqTk\">\n<div data-testid=\"accordion-item-container\" class=\"AccordionItemContainer-jFRYlp zgmT\"><button class=\"BaseButton-bcGmUs ButtonWrapper-dPMEWm dFZSjb dhutMS button button--utility AccordionItemContainerButton-jMXXPz cpRpLP\" data-event-click=\"{&quot;element&quot;:&quot;Button&quot;}\" data-testid=\"Button\" role=\"button\" type=\"button\"><span class=\"ButtonLabel-eCjeQX eTFZtz button__label\">AccordionItemContainerButton<\/span><\/button><\/div>\n<div class=\"AccordionItemContainerContent-fiXpuI lfFNGO opening-animation\">\n<div>\n<p>The ideal knife practically does the work for you, creating clean cuts with minimal downward pressure.

A serrated knife can have rounded, scalloped teeth; pointy teeth; and even double serrations that feature a combination of the two. While scalloped teeth might seem like the least effective option, our testing proved that this is not always the case. In fact, knives with teeth that were <em>too<\/em> pointy risked snagging and tearing on bread interiors or tomato flesh.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"AccordionItemWrapper-iLIlCF dnShlA\">\n<div class=\"AccordionContainer-gsDmFY iQqTk\">\n<div data-testid=\"accordion-item-container\" class=\"AccordionItemContainer-jFRYlp zgmT\"><button class=\"BaseButton-bcGmUs ButtonWrapper-dPMEWm dFZSjb dhutMS button button--utility AccordionItemContainerButton-jMXXPz cpRpLP\" data-event-click=\"{&quot;element&quot;:&quot;Button&quot;}\" data-testid=\"Button\" role=\"button\" type=\"button\"><span class=\"ButtonLabel-eCjeQX eTFZtz button__label\">AccordionItemContainerButton<\/span><\/button><\/div>\n<div class=\"AccordionItemContainerContent-fiXpuI lfFNGO opening-animation\">\n<div>\n<p>We considered the knife as a whole\u2014from the tip of its blade to the end of the handle. We looked for knives that had ergonomic handles that fit the natural contours of our hands and paid attention to the balance of weight between the handle and the blade. We wanted a knife that felt hefty enough to give us proper leverage when slicing hardier loaves, but not so heavy as to become unwieldy.<\/p>\n<p>The ones we picked above were the most stable and comfortable to hold, the easiest to work with, and they made the cleanest cuts.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<hr\/>\n<h2>Other bread knives we like<\/h2>\n<p><h3>Dexter Russell Basics 10&#8243;
