Pure Komachi 2 Series Bread Knife vs Tojiro Bread Slicer F-737

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.

For tough breads, best to use a draw cut, like with a Japanese saw. I've worked in commercial kitchens and have built boats, and I don't often have mishaps. I don't blame the knife -- it does what it is intended to do. Just something to be aware of if you are accustomed to stiffer blades
