KAI Bread Knife
In 2014, German bread culture was recognized by UNESCO as an "intangible cultural heritage," because nowhere else in the world are the types of bread as unique and diverse as in our country. In contrast, bread does not hold the same significance in the Asian region. However, this does not mean that Japanese knife manufacturers do not produce excellent bread knives. For example, the KAI bread knives.
A Bread Knife in (Almost) Every Series
Bread knives can be found in almost all series from KAI. Starting with the KAI Wasabi bread knife and Seki Magoroku Red Wood bread knife made from a special stainless steel. The KAI Seki Magoroku Vintage bread knife owes its sharpness to a 3-layer carbon steel. The Damascus steel series Shun Classic, Shun Premier Tim Mälzer Edition, and Shun Kaji also feature bread knives. The KAI Kaji bread knife is among the sharpest knives with a hardness of +/- 64 HRC. And the KAI Seki Magoroku Composite bread knife made from VG-Max steel is an absolute highlight in terms of appearance & cutting performance.
Only in the very traditionally held Pro Sho series do you have to do without a bread knife. It simply does not belong to the standard assortment of a Japanese chef.
