Review: Great bread knife for professional kitchen work - I've been a cook for 10+ years, and I've worked in a wide variety of kitchens serving an equally wide variety of foods. Pros: -Relatively inexpensive: Serrated knives are great for a wide variety of jobs, but difficult to sharpen. Instead of worrying about sharpening an expensive serrated knife, I prefer to just buy an inexpensive one, use it until it's toast, then throw it away. -Relatively well-made: Pure Komachi's are much nicer and build and material quality than other cheap knives I've used (Dexter, Mundial, etc). The handle is plastic, it's partial tang, all of which would probably be knocks against it in the professional cook world, but the overall quality exceeds what I would expect from this price point. The plastic doesn't feel overly cheap, and the included sheath has never given me any problems. My current knife has remained sharp for well over a year of daily, high volume use, which indicates to me that it's made of good quality steel. -Very smart design: The way the serration "teeth" change direction halfway through the blade is a really cool design choice. I honestly can't tell you if it makes any real difference in it's cutting ability, but it probably doesn't hurt. The thin blade profile makes it very agile in the hand, and the bright orange paint job makes it very easy to find when you're busy. The included sheath has wide slats cut into it, which allows the blade to dry off if it happens to be a little wet when you put it away, which helps prevent rust spots. The sheath uses friction from a plastic clip to stay attached to the knife, and I've never had any issues with it, though I imagine it'd be fairly useless if that clip were to break. Cons: -Goofy looking as hell- It's definitely bright orange and looks like an Ikea knife. I've had more than a few coworkers mention that it looks like a toy, but then they use it and end up buying one for themselves. Aesthetics aren't everything. -BE VERY CAREFUL WHEN YOU'RE PUTTING THE KNIFE BACK IN THE SHEATH- seriously, the opening for the sheath is very small and if you're putting it away in a hurry you run the risk of missing the opening and cutting yourself pretty badly. This isn't really a design flaw, more like an opportunity for user error. Overall, this is a great knife. I bought several other Pure Komachi knives (nikiri and chefs) for my parents, and I don't like them anywhere as much as I like their bread knife. I generally get about two and a half years of heavy, commercial kitchen use out of these before they get dull enough for me to want to get a new one, and once my current knife dies, I'll buy another one. Home cooks will probably never have to replace this once they buy one. Review: Great knife - Had a set of Pure Komachi knives from Costco and have damaged a few over the years. They are cheaper to replace than take to a professional sharpener. This knife is great - cuts bread easily. Wife also loves it for softly cooked meats. Serrated blade comes sharp and stays sharp. Easy to clean and comes with a nice sheath. Very happy with this! ## Features - SERRATED BREAD KNIFE: The Kai PRO 8-inch Pure Komachi 2 Bread Knife slices through both crusty and tender bread with ease. If you're a home baker or just like to buy whole loaves of bread, this knife is a must. - HIGHLY ENGINEERED SERRATIONS: This serrated knife doesn't have jagged teeth that chew through bread, but wide, sharp serrations that gently slice with less tearing and crumbling. - HIGH-QUALITY CONSTRUCTION: The hand-sharpened 16-degree single-beveled blade is razor sharp and made from food-safe coated carbon stainless steel. - COMFORTABLE HANDLE: The molded resin handle is comfortable and offers a secure grip while cutting.

They are cheaper to replace than take to a professional sharpener. This knife is great - cuts bread easily. Wife also loves it for softly cooked meats. Serrated blade comes sharp and stays sharp. Easy to clean and comes with a nice sheath. Very happy with this! ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Pure Komachi 2 Series are great, and their Bread Knife one of my favorite so far. *by T***T on September 16, 2012* I was never a bread eater. So of course when my doctor asked me to switch to a carb restricted diet I naturally started to crave bread. He wants me to avoid a lot of the types of flour that are common in store bought bread. Wanting to appease my doctor I started making fresh homemade bread so I could control the types of flour I was bringing into my body. Problem was I had never cared about bread enough to invest in a decent bread knife, so the one I was stuck using was a Bread Knife I got in some low cost Knife set I got one year as a Christmas gift. So after having such huge success when I ordered the Pure Komachi 2 Series Chef Knife, I decided to try their bread knife. I must say this knife makes easy slicing. My favorite bread recipe so far has a real hard crust, and this knife has never left me down. I know its cliche, but it cuts like butter. I love how simple it is to cut thin enough slices so my kids still get their grilled cheese. I must say this is one of my favorite knife series at the moment. The price on these knives compared to their quality is unmatched. I hope they never stop making these knives in the quality they currently have, because they have something right with this series. ## Frequently Bought Together - Kai PRO Pure Komachi 2 Bread Knife 8”, Wide Serrations are Gentle on Bread, Comfortable Handle Offers Secure Grip in Wet Conditions; Serrated Kitchen Knife - Kai PRO Pure Komachi 2 Chef's Knife 8”, Thin, Light Kitchen Knife, Ideal for All-Around Food Preparation, Hand-Sharpened Japanese Knife, Perfect for Fruit, Vegetables, and More,Navy - Kai AB5068 Pure Komachi 2 3.5 inch Green Paring Knife --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - πŸ›’ **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** β€” Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** β€” Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - πŸ’° **No Hidden Fees** β€” All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - πŸ”„ **15-Day Free Returns** β€” Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - πŸ”’ **Secure Payments** β€” Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** β€” Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.us/products/1420080-usa-pure-komachi-2-series-bread-knife-brown-model-number](https://www.desertcart.us/products/1420080-usa-pure-komachi-2-series-bread-knife-brown-model-number) --- *Product available on Desertcart United States of America* *Store origin: US* *Last updated: 2026-07-11*
