About the knife type: Bread knife

A bread knife is made for cutting through bread without squashing it or spoiling the texture. Unlike other knives, it has a long, serrated blade that cuts through the crust without pressing the bread down.

You usually use a bread knife with a sawing movement, which makes it easy to get even slices without squashing or crumbling the bread. The serrated edge also cuts through brittle crusts without damaging the softer crumb.

A bread knife is useful for more than bread. You can use it to cut delicate fruit and vegetables with thin skins or soft textures, such as tomatoes or ripe fruit.
