Cuisinart C77TR-8BD Triple Rivet vs Pure Komachi 2 Series Bread Knife

I bought this 5 months ago, and the handle has cracked. If just goes in a drawer in the kitchen (with its sheath) and the dishwasher. Disappointing! I assumed this would last years, but now I doubt it. On the plus side the blade works great to slice homemade bread

While the small blade offers excellent control, it isn't long enough to slice anything larger than small loaves or baguettes. The handle is smooth, straight, and on the small side, which is fine for light work, but when slicing up an entire loaf of hearty bread, you may want a little more structure to grab on to. And, although some people may be happy to add a single orange knife to their set, the bright color probably won't blend in easily with the rest of your kitchen equipment.
