Used to be the best bread knives had scalloped blades, not serrated.
I had one that worked beautifully on the softest and the crustiest
breads. Gave it away to a friend who admired it. When I went to buy
a replacement they were gone and I've never seen one since. Nowadays
if you search for "scalloped blade bread knives" all you get are
serrated blades. Sure, they work, but they aren't the same.

I don't think there's much point in spending a lot of money on a bread
knife. Surfa's online kitchen supplies has a page of breadknives that
range from less than $20 to more than $150. The lowest price one
(Forschner) would work fine. -aem

Scalloped edge! That's my favorite bread knife. I paid maybe $3 for
it at the grocery store, decades ago. My scallops are several times
bigger than this one.

Mine is a Commercial Sabatier 9" w/scalloped blade... I've had it some 20
years... I can't seem to find it for sale anymore. I have that Chicago
Cutlery boning knife too.

The one I gave away looked a lot like the Sabatier but wasn't nearly
that expensive. You and sf have motivated me to go find another
scalloped blade. The serrated thing I have is jusst tolerable so the
next time I feel like rewarding myself for something I'll go bread
knife hunting.... -aem

I saw that one, that's not the same knife... that's 8" with a wood handle,
mine is 9" Commercial, that one is like $7 (has to be a knock off), I paid
$79 more than 20 years ago on sale at Macy's.... comparable toWusthoffs that
are like $100 now. The Sabatier Commercial line is apparently no longer
available. Back then Sabatier made a 10" version too, I wish I had got that
one instead of my 9" that's barely adequate... an 8" bread knife is simply
too short.

Perceived length. How wonderfully symbolic. Y'know, you are supposed to
move it back and forth a bit. Enhances the experience, as it were.

Almost anything that you can pick up at a yard sale will do in my
experience. Other than that my old one was a gift to the family about
50 years ago and has no name so I cannot recommend anything in
particular. It's one type of knife that I don't think really gets
better with better quality steel etc.
