The bread knife is thick-bladed knife used for cutting loaves of bread. Bread knives generally have 8 to 9 inch blades with serrated edges for cutting through thick, hard crust. The serrations on a bread knife are very deep, and are too large to cut fruits and vegetables effectively.
sorry to disagree with you 're: yr stance on bread knives. Many, myself included, find it much more versatile. It is excellent for slicing many items especially tomatoes!
