I do come from the camp that says buy your serrated knifes cheaply but I haven't been able to find a long bread knife.  They all seem to be 10" or less.  Does anyone know of one at any price that's longer?

I have a 14" and a 16" serrated from Tramontina with microban handles, but a quick check of their US site makes me think that these are only available in the Latin American market….

I've had no problem finding them in the professional chef's supply shops here in Ecuador - perhaps it's just a matter of changing where you look?

Do you want to cut  bread or cake?

Because  Stainless Steel Cake knifes  goes up to  16 inches and I can find them on Amazon.com.

I have two of the Dexter Russell sani-safe 12" blade  scalloped edge roast slicer - one  that I use exclusively for bread and one for cutting cake layers, etc.

 

I bought one of mine at Smart & Final and another at a restaurant supply store.   I have tried just about every "bread" knife on the market, and none has worked as well as this for any type of bread.  Crusty artisan loaves are no problem and very tender pullman loaves that are to be sliced thinly for tea sandwiches are cut without any tearing of the crumb.

 

Amazon has essentially the exact same knife with the name Winco - cheaper.  The local senior center ordered two and as far as I can tell they feel identical in use.  Cheap enough that if it doesn't suit, you can toss it or send it back.

"There are, it has been said, two types of people in the world. There are those who say: this glass is half full. And then there are those who say: this glass is half empty. The world belongs, however, to those who can look at the glass and say: What's up with this glass? Excuse me? Excuse me? This is my glass? I don't think so. My glass was full! And it was a bigger glass!" Terry Pratchett

Here's my knife, alongside my 8-inch Henckels chef's knife as a size comparison. This was a wedding gift, nearly 16 years ago now. I love it still!
