Product Description

Enjoy bagels, baguettes and brioches with the OXO Good Grips 8" Bread Knife. This Knife slices easily through the crustiest loaves, rolls and bagels with its sharp, serrated stainless steel blade. The soft, non-slip handle is shaped for a comfortable grip that won’t slip, even when wet.

Amazon.com

Sharp enough to slice through chewy crusts and still produce full, even slices, this bread knife can handle the job without flattening the loaf. Great for bagels and rolls, the hand-finished stainless-steel blade is serrated for easy cutting.

The Good Grips line features durable, nonslip flexible handles on every product. Ergonomically designed to fit the palm comfortably and softly, the pressure-absorbing processed rubber handle puts less tension on the hands, while providing an outstanding grip. Made from the same material dishwasher gaskets are constructed of, the handles are slip-proof, wet or dry, as well as dishwasher-safe. Good Grips products are moderately priced and have won the Tylenol/Arthritis Foundation Design Award. --Laurie Notaro

"Greatest thing since sliced bread".... so to speak.

Reviewed in the United States on November 23, 2011

Verified Purchase

I have a bread knife that was handed down to me via my great great Danish grandmother. It is my most prized and loved possession. Its sentimental value is worth all I have in life...... as a bread knife it kinda sucks. It has a hard time cutting stiff egg whites. No real loss as I have tons of other kitchen knife sets to do the jobs, I'm just keeping it to pass down to some worthy heir that can appreciate the love and history it holds.
I love to make artisan breads, and when I take a picture of a slice out of one of these masterpieces, grandma's knife makes the bread look even more artsy and homespun.
Well, I entered an all day bread bake off/craft fair with a bunch of other old goats (all had to be over 65 and I was the only guy in the contest) to choose a local winner. I didn't want to take grandma's knife with me out of fear of losing/breaking/bending/misplacing/ridicule/stain/dulling it. So I looked for a cheap something I could take that I wouldn't shed tears over if I lost it.
OXO Good Grips Bread Knife to the rescue. Less than $10. Perfect! I really wasn't expecting much at a $10 price point. If it just looked like a bread knife, I was satisfied.
Let the bake-off begin!
We all started our secret dough recipes, let them rise, punch down, add secret grains, conger-up mystic bread Voodoo, knead, dust, slit and pop in the ovens. We each had to make two loaves. One to be judged on and one that would be given to the lucky craft fair attendee to win the first place loaf via drawing of their admission ticket.
Time's up!
All of the loaves are out and waiting the required one hour cool down before judging. No question, mine were the most beautiful. Everyone (from my family) said so.
Time to judge!
If you ever had/ate artisan bread, you know the crust is the star of the show. Any good loaf worth its salt will have a crust that can dull a diamond chainsaw in a heartbeat. But, therein is the loaves soul.
The OXO went through it just like grandmas knife must have 200 years ago. Clean and straight with a minimum of sawing crumb. It left the warm soft heart beautifully severed. It was enough to make an angel cry.
Although mine was the most beautiful (according to my family and friends), Lois Ledbetter's was awarded first place by the panel of eight judges in the taste department.
The other nine "non-winners" were auctioned off and the $200 proceeds went to the local food pantry.
I swallowed my testosterone pride and shook Lois' hand and congratulated her bread and couldn't resist asking her secret ingredient. She said that when I got as old as her (she is over 100) I would know.
We'll see Lois, we'll see..............
.
As for the knife, I have used it everyday since and it is the best $10 I ever spent. It might even get passed down to the heir as well.

Sharp Japanese blade. OXO quality.

Reviewed in the United States on April 13, 2021

Verified Purchase

Full disclosure, I'm an OXO addict. There are double digit number of OXO products in my household. OXO makes products that are clearly designed with 1) quality, 2) usability, and 3) durability in mind, bread knife is no exception. I love the single-tang Japanese blade. It slices through all sorts of bread, pita, buns, etc without a second thought. The molded plastic handle is soft and comfortable. It makes you want to hold it all day, which is weird, cause it's a bread knife.
One "downside" is that it is extremely sharp. I've never been so scared of a bread knife before. I handle it much like I handle my meat or vegetable knives, so if you're going to have children handling the bread knife, maybe find one that is less sharp.

Extremely sharp and cuts well; non-slip handle; great price!

Reviewed in the United States on August 22, 2020

Verified Purchase

This was a replacement for a much-loved OXO bread knife whose blade eventually separated from a rubbery handle. This version is longer, with a pointier tip, and harder handle and I wasn’t sure what I thought at first, but it has become a go-to for crusty bread and summer tomatoes. It’s very sharp and cuts well. Like our old knife, I’m sure it will also be great with melons and pineapples. While I miss the softer feel of our old handle, this one has a more ergonomic grip, yet still feels non-slip. And the price? Can’t beat it!

It's a bread knife...

Reviewed in the United States on June 28, 2012

Verified Purchase

I don't have a complete knife set and was tired of ruining loaves of bread with my dull chefs knife and other basic kitchen knives. In all honesty the main reason I purchased this particular knife was that it was the cheapest. Having good luck with other Oxo products previously purchased, I wasn't to hesitant to purchase yet another. It has a sharp serrated blade and a comfortable handle that have easily handled all of my bakery cutting duties (bread and bagels mostly). This knife is also nice for heavy skinned fruits, easing through pineapples and cantaloupes. It has also stood up to the dishwasher rather well. You will not be sad with this knife and will be happy with the outcome of every cut you make.

Love it! I use it to slice tomatoes, frozen muffins, pita bread rounds

Reviewed in the United States on January 19, 2013

Verified Purchase

I bought this to replace one of those old, very thin serrated knives that comes with a set. I'll bet that one is from the 1960s - it was just too thin, too flexible and had become dull. Seems I'm the only one in this household who likes a sharp knife that does what it's supposed to do AND is safer.

This OXO Good Grips Bread Knife is excellent because:
1) the handle feels good; it's thicker and certainly not slippery,
2) the blade is wide and sturdy - it cuts a slice uniformly! And,
3) it's S-H-A-R-P.

It's also good for slicing frozen English muffins. It's also excellent for slicing open pita bread sideways - I mean that I place the pita flat on the board, turn the knife sideways and slice around the baked edges to create thin two rounds (just like slicing a layer of cake to make two layers).

Fabulous for cutting paper thin tomato slices. Nothing cuts tomatoes like a sharp serrated knife. :D

Fer sammiches, I like to use several super thin slices overlapping each other rather than one thick slice that shoots out the back when you take a bite.

Wonderful on bread, but watch the fingers!

Reviewed in the United States on May 27, 2015

Verified Purchase

This should come with every bread machine. It works beautifully. The first time I used it, I was slicing bread just after breakfast to take to a covered dish lunch and was in a hurry. It was slicing without smashing and doing a great job. However, when I got close to the end, I didn't move my finger far enough back and before I knew, there was blood everywhere. The knife is so sharp there was never much pain, but the cut was deep enough that when I removed the bandage after lunch, I left a bloody trail all the way to the restroom. The knife is excellent for slicing bread, but watch where your fingers are on the back side of the loaf or get some kind of hands-free slicing guide. I would definitely keep this for grown-up use.
