Super Bread Knife

An offset bread knife with an edge. The shape of the Super Bread Knife not only allows room for your knuckles on the cutting board, it is more versatile, and the chef knife shape allows better control than most offset bread knives. Our unique 'wave' serration gives you an incredibly sharp edge and has the unique capacity to be honed and fully resharpened using a diamond or ceramic steel. Kullens or dimple grinds on the side of the blade allow the Super Bread Knife to pass through food cleanly and helps prevent food from sticking to it.

Though called a super bread, it is much more than just a bread knife.  This is the utimate slicer for meats, tomatoes, gravalax, and any other soft food that tends to crush when cut with a straight edged knife.  Because the edge cuts so aggressively, many chefs use this as their primary knife for prep work as it will cut through a crate of vegetables with virtually no effort.

New West founder Corey Milligan recently exhibited his chef knives at the 2009 blade show in Atlanta sponsored by Blade Magazine. While there he challenged several other knifemakers to a 'Bread Knife' showdown. At high noon, the Publisher of Blade Magazine, the executive chef of the Waverly Hotel, and a spectator tested all of the bread knives and slicers. New West's super bread knife came out head and shoulders above the competition, including Shun/Bob Kramer and the 2009 kitchen knife of the  year award winner. Read about the showdown and the performance of the Super Bread Knife on Corey's blog.

'I am very satisfied with my New West knives....They hold a good edge, have a good feel, good balance and are a delight to work with.  I think the Super Bread knife is by far the most versatile bread knife I have ever used.'  Chef Ralph Yedinak. Waterfront Alehouse, Manhattan.
