TLDR ⓘ - Too long; didn't read - A quick summary that cuts to the chase.
A great knife to start a collection or give as a gift. The stainless steel is sharp yet forgiving, and the heptagonal handle makes this distinctive knife a beautiful, unique tool.

About Seki Kanetsugu Heptagon - Seki Kanetsugu is a knife maker in Seki, whose ancestor was a famous swordsmith Kanetsugu (1336-1392). The company itself was founded in 1918 and celebrated its 100-year anniversary in 2018. Although this is considered to be a machine-forged knife, it is perhaps at the highest level. The blade is expertly crafted from VG10 stainless steel, which offers an excellent balance of sharpness and toughness. The stunning heptagon-shaped handle is made with pakka wood for its strength, and feels excellent in the hand.

About the shape - Bread is the cornerstone of civilization, a noble food worthy of its own family of a knife. Rather than destroy the beautiful bread that you've just baked or bought, that gorgeous hunk of gluten deserves to be sliced with the finest of serrations. This blade is razor-sharp even by regular knife standards and will have no issue zipping through thousands of hearty loaves.

Stainless steel is super handy because it doesn’t rust or stain easily like carbon steel. That said, remember it is stain-less, not stain-never. While it is much easier to care for than high-carbon steel, it does benefit from proper use: use it, wash it, dry it and put it away. Always avoid the dishwasher!

USE  

• Only cut food you can bite through with this knife. Hard foods can chip the blade. No olive pits, bones,  lobster shells, woody stems or parmesan rinds. Cutting frozen food is especially bad  because the cold will make hard steel even more brittle. If you wouldn’t chew it with  your own teeth, don’t cut it.  

• Your cutting surface is the biggest culprit of dulling your knife. Use wood. End  grain wood is especially good. Plastic can be fine too, but certainly not glass,  granite or bamboo. 

• The edge of your knife works best sliding forwards or backwards. Scraping the  knife edge sideways will dull or damage the edge. Instead, use the spine of the knife to move foods across the cutting board. Do not twist the edge or pry with the edge, this is the worst screwdriver you ever bought and these motions will certainly  damage the edge. Listen to the knife! If you can hear the edge making a “tink”  sound on the cutting board, change what you are doing.  

CLEANING  

• After use, wash the knife by hand with regular dish soap, rinse with hot water  and dry by hand immediately. Dishwashers are very bad for knives.  

• Wood handles may dry out over time and exposure to water. Simply treat them  with some food safe wax.

STORING  

• Protect the edge for your safety and to avoid edge damage. A simple blade cover  will do the trick if you keep knives in a drawer or in a travel case.  

• The convenient wall magnet made with wood is a great way to show off your knives.  Be sure to put it back spine first, then roll it onto the blade face. This will keep the  edge from contacting the wood first.  

• The good ol’ counter top block can keep knives at the ready and protected, so  can drawer inserts. Whatever the method, it should keep the edge from touching  anything else.

Reviews

great handling.

"I like the handle, blade is a little bit thin so be careful with cutting "aged (dried) sourdough" but generally good knife"

— Jimmy X. (5/5)

Bread knife

"Omg so nice to handle and like the saying goes, it cuts like butter, no squishy bread now."

— Tammy L. (5/5)

Elated for Serrated

"Didn't intend to buy this bad boy, but I was picking up a cutting board and had it in the back of my mind. Once it was in my hand it was over, kudos to my awesome salesperson. Great for baguette or chuck roast, versatile and beautiful. I have a beef blade, but this is quickly becoming my preferred roast carver. Sick knife, holds good with pinch grip -- knifewear rules."

— Geoff J. (5/5)

Bread knife

"Great bread knife. Cuts my bread good"

— Joe B. (5/5)

What and amazing knife. This

"What and amazing knife. This is my first knife purchase from knife ware. Long time lurker first time buyer. I got this bread knife because my wife’s original knife is over 30 years old and not able to cut my homemade artisan loaves clean. This Lanetsugu gets the job done and doesn’t smash the loaf. Cuts clean thick or thin."

— Matt C. (5/5)

Good Bread/Good Knife

"We bought this knife for our son who lives out in New Brunswick, and a big fan of the Knifewear store in Ottawa (we are from Kanata). He's had other "less expensive" bread knives, and they've not lasted. So far the review from his is very positive and will report back if there are any issues."

— Brian C. (5/5)
