Bread Knives

Every kitchen needs a quality bread knife, or sandwich knife as it’s known by some. They’re indispensable. And bread knives aren’t a kitchen implement you want to cut corners on, they’re a tool you should invest in. If you’ve ever tried to cut a crusty loaf with a flimsy, poor-quality bread knife, or even worse, with a knife without a serrated edge, you’ll know what we’re talking about.

We’re big believers in using the right knife for the right kitchen job. Which means you’ll find a fantastic selection of professional-grade bread knives at Lakeland, with a range of blades and handles to meet all preferences. Let’s get in the kitchen!

Take charge of your bread

A good bread knife glides through even the toughest loaf easily, putting you in control of the cutting. A quality bread knife wont slip or squash the bread, meaning you can consistently cut slices to the thickness you want (and not too thick for you to fit in the toaster!).

Professional quality bread knives are made to keep their cutting-edge sharp for longer, meaning you can rely on our bread knives to cut easily, day after day, year after year. As well as gliding through bread, the serrated edge of a superior kitchen knife can be put to other tasks too. They’re ideal for slicing cleanly through soft ingredients, like ripe tomatoes, but also through tough foods, like cooked and cured meats. Anything with a thick, hard skin, like watermelons, pineapples, and grapefruits are easy to cut too.

What to look for in a bread knife?

The most important part of a bread knife is its tooth-like, serrated blade. A serrated knife bites into what it’s cutting, creating grip, stopping the bread slipping and letting you control the cut.

The quality of the blade is also paramount when it comes to kitchen knives. A cheaper knife will lose its edge, whereas a bread knife that’s made from high-quality steel and crafted with expertise will stay impressively sharp for longer. Size is also a crucial factor to consider. The longer the blade, the larger the loaves of bread you can cut, so you’ll need to make sure you buy a bread knife that’s suitable for the type of bread you bake or buy
