Hammer Stahl 9-Inch Offset Bread Knife - Scallop Serrated Blade - High Carbon German Steel - Ergonomic Quad-Tang Pakkawood Handle

I'm no professional by any means but have been working in the industry for 4 years and for the quality and value I have spent is well worth it.I do like the feel and balance off this knive and I do use it daily for more then one task. I also own like 5 other styles of Hammer Stahl knives.

I have always been pleased with the Hammerstahl knives. This is not an exception. The cuts are smooth through loaves of French bread. It is a delight to use.

We have purchased other items from this company in which we were pleased enough to purchase the bread knife. While there are other bread knives on the market for considerable less and probably perform just as well, they DO NOT have the Class and Style that Hammer Stahl products have.Regards

I am absolutely in love with this knife. I would not say that it is lightweight, and that’s a good thing. That was one of the factors that helped in my decision making process for buying it. I wanted a very high quality knife (my opinion, I am not a professional chef), with a very comfortable weight, not too heavy, not light and flimsy. The blade is SHARP and cuts like butter. Are there higher end knives out there? Yes, but, these are not cheap by any means. It’s the most expensive knife I have ever bought. I felt I deserved it because I love to cook and I do it all the time. We like to do our amateur gourmet foods, I am in my 60’s and I felt I deserved it and I only have one regret. Why didn’t I do this a LONG time ago?

I really like this knife although it is the second one I received.The first one had rivets that were not flush with the handle. ( therefore the 4 stars ) I sent it directly to the seller and they sent me a good one ( or finished correctly the old one ) Good customer service.

The knife is awesome for many uses, the offset knife handle is the only way to go for bread and other uses

Feels like a luxury knife, but reasonably priced. No more knuckle-knocking when I cut bread!

The blade didn't have sharp points to "grip" the item such as a tomato. Instead the "points" were rounded so it slips slightly. Also, the "scalloped edge" was not concave as I experienced w another brand. Possibly because of the above or user error, the blade seems to slip/cut to my right rather than straight down. FWIW, when holding the knife, the scalloped edge is to the left and the other (totally flat) side of the blade is to my right. The knife is beautiful w a lovely handle totally unique and different from your basic black. It's a full tang and hefty. Possibly a little too hefty, or at least that's the initial impression when holding it the first time. I suppose that's good to cut through things. Nice packaging and nested nicely in dense foam (?). Sadly, it is being returned as it would have been a nice addition.
