Never in a million years did I think that I could find a bread that could slice a fresh warm french baguette without mushing it back to dough. Well crusty bread, youve been warned. Now I'm thinking I need to learn to bake bread all over. i stopped because you had to wait so long from smell to slicing that It didn't seem worth it. THIS bread knife can slice hot bread,perfectly into slices, still warm so the butter just melts right in. That is what a good bread kife shoud do. GO GET ONE OF THESE right now! WOW
