HIC 9" Offset Bread Knife (MPN 38004). The serrated blade is offset below the handle, giving clearance so your knuckles never hit the board or platter on the down stroke. The scalloped edge grips crust without crushing the crumb, and the 9-inch length handles boules, baguettes, bagels, and layer cakes.

Anyone who bakes at home ends up fighting a straight bread knife against the counter. The offset fixes that, and at ten dollars it is the easiest upgrade in the drawer. Ask us to slice a loaf with one at the counter and you will see why we stock them.
