Some reviews complain that it is too flexible. I did not find this to be true. It's no where near as flexible as a good fillet knife. It may be a little more flexible than some other bread knives but I haven't found it to an issue. You're cutting bread not a joint of beef.
The main point is that it is very sharp. A couple swipes and it's through a tall loaf of homemade bread.
Japanese steel, full tang, wood handle. It's perfect for cutting bread.

I think we're alone now. I can tell you, this blade is a joy to cut with. I buy loaf bread and give it away to the neighbors sliced just for fun. Featherlite and easy to use. (on the hard crusts start with a 'draw' stroke) Beautiful in it's simplicity. No hollow grind or offset grip. No double bevel serrations or fancy tip. Just well crafted simplicity perfect for it's purpose.
This blade is Sharp. I'm a sharpener. 3rd generation. I'm generally not a fan of serrated edges but this one came with a truly Sharp factory edge. After 5 hard loaves and and 2 soft, along with a couple dozen ciabattas and bolillos, I put it under the lens. No burrs, no chips, no rolling. Just a good sharp single bevel edge. We should treat serrated edges like non-stick frying pans, when they're worn out Throw Them Away. I'm going to be heart broke when this beauty of a blade goes dull. But there are reports of years of use and still cutting like the day it was new.
After the reviews about how flexible this blade is I expected something like the the fillet knives we made from bandsaw blades back in the apprentice days or maybe like the whipstick swords https://www.amazon.com/Brushking-Christmas-Shearing-Knives-16/dp/B00KWFHKFG/ref=sr_1_3?crid=13JL8A3DRIAFO&keywords=christmas%2Btree%2Bknife&qid=1650948046&sprefix=christmas%2Btree%2Bknife%2Caps%2C254&sr=8-3&th=1 we trimmed trees with. Not true. This blade has a firm spine. Stiff for it's size. Stays straight in it's intended uses.
I have more expensive knives. I have cooler knives. I have sharper knives. But none of them make me laugh out loud like this bread knife does.
And it's a Tojiro. For $22. Life is good.
As another reviewer pointed out, this blade is a very soft steel and is thin too so it doesn't really have any stiffness. A ton of flex so if you were cutting a hard loaf like I was, the blade tended to warp out of place as you sliced since it wanted to take the path of least resistance rather than how I was gripping the handle.
For the nerds out there, 200g mass on the tip of the blade resulted in about 3/4" of deflection to give you a more concrete idea of how much flex there is in this blade.
Being a long knife, it's difficult to control the side furthest away from the handle and i noticed it started drifting both in bending and some torsion. If you truly have a hard crusted bread or if it's gone stale, it WILL wear this knife down fast. I refrained from using downward pushing motions and tried to just use long, saw-like slicing to take advantage of the serrated edge.
I had two loaves to test this on, one with a softer crust and the harder one that I just mentioned above. This knife made short work of the softer bread, but then again, my non-serrated knife did just as well with similar ease and no crumbs. The harder loaf already deformed the scallops on this knife to the point where I'll probably need to touch up the flat side on a stone (yes, the edges are bent after one use). If you're not cooking hard, crusty breads, this knife will work great.
For the price, I'm still giving it a 4 stars since I know the bread I used it on was definitely on the far end of the scale in terms of crust hardness. It should work fine for most people and most breads. I paid $23 for this knife and if it ever got more expensive, I'd definitely consider something else. I really wanted to enjoy this knife but the first impression hasn't convinced me that bread knives are really that necessary if you keep the rest of your knives razor sharp. Maybe there's a sweet spot in bread hardness that this knife will shine. Obviously I'm in the minority here when it comes to not loving it.

Lightweight. Sharp serrations (not ‘wavy’ or ‘scalloped’ edge) great for cutting crusty bread or soft tomatoes. And great value. Excellent knife at a great price.

Man merkt beim Handling die Professionalität dieses Herstellers: Der Griff ist von Hand verschliffen, keine hervorstehenden Nieten oder andere störenden Kanten. Entgegen der Darstellung auf der Zeichnung ist die Klinge nur einseitig geschliffen, was aber nur für Linkshänder von Bedeutung sein dürfte. Zur Schärfe stimme ich den positiven Rezensionen zu und angesichts des oben gesagten müsste die Schärfe auch eine Weile so bleiben. Dennoch gab es irgendwo in einer Rezension die Bemerkung, dass es schnell stumpf wurde. Das wäre eigentlich der übliche Standard bei Messern aus 1.4034, bei einem höher gekohlten Stahl aber eher nicht. Wie bei anderen qualitativ höherwertigen Messern auch muss man harte Schneidunterlagen und die Spülmaschine meiden, wenn man länger Freude daran haben will. Der Hersteller weist auch darauf hin, das Messer nicht im Kontakt mit anderen Messern oder metallischen Werkzeugen zu lagern.
Also used it for leveling cakes and it was great for that as well.
Really happy with it so far.
so satisfying to use!
