Knives with rounded serrations are actually patisserie knives made for cutting through soft cake (e.g. Victoria Sponge cake). They are not multi-purpose breadknives. However, my Victorinox patisserie knive with rounded serrations is so sharp it glides through everything. I guess quality is still the No. 1 factor.
I am contemplating between Victorinox bread slicer VS Tojiro F737. Which one is superior? Anyone can help?
I have the Mercer bread knife (plus their chef knife and paring knife) and love them all. What great buys they are!
I just ordered a Victorinox 10.5 inches and I wish you had tested it to see how it compares to the Mercer. Thank you for your video. I am considering changing to Mercer if they are so much better.
1:14 the tester does not know how to use a knife
So they show the wustoff cutting thru the bread perfectly. But do not show the Mercy cutting at all & say that is the winner. I call BS
What about micro serrated knives?
I bought the Mercer 10" bread knife based on the rave reviews. Its a very good knife and reasonably priced. It wouldn't stop me from buying some other knife that is just as good or better if I wanted to spend a lot of money on a bread knife. I don't! The name brand name knives with very expensive hardened steel don't offer much advantage because most of the quality is in the serration design, not the steel hardness.
I am replacing a lower end Zwilling J. A. Henkle 8" inch Twin Gourmet bread knife that finally needed replacing after 16 years (but still pretty good!). That knife currently runs $65+ compared to $15-$25 for the Mercer. The Henkle was only a slightly better knife when new, but this knife has the advantage of 2 inches. The rubber handle is very sturdy compared to reviews that I saw that said it is too soft. If there is anything I would criticize it is that the cut is a little too smooth and I like a little bit of toothiness, esp at the crusty botom of pan-cooked bread. Both knives are thin, have elongated serrations and the stamped steel seems to be the same hardness and quality. This is a very good knife, esp for the price
I love those tests on products!!
I guess the cheapest serrated knife is just a cut above the groove.
I got this. Make sure you have a long enough and wide enough slot in your knife block. They also make an 8" version.
Another manspert mansplaining to a woman who probably know even more about the subject. Are we still in the 1950s?
i just cut my fingertip off with a double serrated bread knife
Hello. Bought one of the winners. Wife calls it the :Bread Machete."…
It's always interesting but how about 2nd and 3rd place? There have to be others that do a good job…
The link here took me to a Mercer M23210. Mercer also offers a M23880. What is the difference between the M23210 and M23880?
I just use my chef knife. I keep it very sharp and honestly it performs better than any serrated knife
I have the Mercer and have zero disappointments! It’s an amazing knife and super affordable
I have the test favorite and I love it. Bought it back in January of this year. Big bang for the buck.
Love these videos. I have bought many products based on your recommendation and have not been disappointed yet. I have to take exception though with your dismissal of the knives with “scalloped” serrations. I have owned both types and find that the sharper serrations tends to tear and crumb more than the scalloped ones especially on a hard crusted baguette.
Paid advertising… The myabi you tested is 300x better. You should tell about the victorinox fibrox, the zwilling and the wusthof… You didn't even tried them! Ridiculous!
This knife CANNOT CUT a straight slide of bread! I bought this knife based on this review. It is, as the review says, very sharp and cuts easily — at a angle to the left. The blade is flat on the left side and beveled on the right. That difference means that the edge drifts left as the knife cuts.
I'd like to know if there is a sharp serrated knife that ALSO cuts straight down.
I purchased this knife in the UK based on the first ATC video. I was amazed by how sharp it was. Every tooth would slice copy paper cleanly. It cost less than 15 gbp delivered! I have two other Mercer knives, the eight inch chinese chef knife and the ten inch culinary genesis short bolster chef knife. Both are also excellent tools and were very sharp as delivered. My experience of Mercer knives has been very pleasing. They are excellent value.
The show is great but wish you put the recommended name on the screen so we can see it: 1) Sometimes it just to fast 2) Sometimes it's hard to spell the name.
Is the tef el bread knife good?
Love the video and great recommendation! I will be looking for it.
this looks like a repeat word for word of the old bread.
Why would you ever edit food in black and white unless you're doing a cheesy infomercial? Color is so important to the experience of food.
Hello.
I'm surprised you didn't consider offset vs non-offset handles.
Did you look at the Dexter-Russell V-Lo?
