KAI Pro 9-Inch Bread Knife Hammered Stainless Steel SHT7062

The KAI Pro 9-Inch Bread Knife is a specialized workhorse built to master the textures that defeat standard edges. Whether you're working with a delicate, airy brioche or a dense, crusty sourdough, most knives tend to crush the interior before they even break the surface. The KAI Pro 9-Inch Bread Knife eliminates this frustration with a "push-pull" serration pattern, designed to grip and separate fibers cleanly for perfect slices without mangling the bread's structure.

Forged from Japanese AUS6M high-carbon stainless steel, the blade is engineered for the ideal balance of toughness and edge life. Unlike standard serrations that only bite in one direction, these hand-sharpened 16° edges are angled to cut effectively on both the forward stroke and the back-pull. This alternating geometry means you aren't fighting the crust; the knife does the work for you.

Combined with a full-tang construction, the blade remains completely stable through the handle, providing the rigid control needed for straight, uniform cuts. The hammered Tsuchime finish creates air pockets that prevent moist or dense bread from sticking to the side of the knife, reducing drag and "stalling" mid-cut.
