a good bread slicer?

[mechnik]

I've been using my spyderedge stretch to cut crusty artisan bread.
It is a joy to use and its ffg blade chews through crust much easier than a hollow grind like pacific salt.
Now, it looks like SE stretches are discontinued.
What are my current options for Spyderco/byrd SE ffg models?
Slightly longer blade would be a plus.

Wings has a good SE blade.

The se military is a beast of a knife. Might be a little overkill for slicing bread, but I won't tell if you don't.

[mechnik]

I have a PE millie and SE would serve my bread needs better :)
Don't see many SE millies selling online right now.
I do prefer the feel of stretch plus enough people comment on its appearance in a way that I guess they will run from the sight of M.

Wings does look very good but it is hollow ground.
I am considering combo Cara Cara 2 and PE Resilience at the moment.

[Surfingringo]

Too bad you can't live with the hollowgrind. I am loving my se pacific salt. Helluva knife!

Is the SE Endura saber ground or full flat ground?

[araneae]

The Wings is a pretty high hollow grind. I don't have a nice baguette or I'd test it out.

Saber

Thanks. FFG would be great. My CE Stretch is FFG, so I know they can do it.

did someone say Military SE...

A good plain edge works better, in my opinion. I find my ZDP Stretch works the best.

For cutting bread?

For cutting bread?

Yes sir. I've never really been a fan of serrated at all, except at work where I cut a lot of buns. Of my Spydies, that's the one I like to use best if I buy unsliced breads.

[dbcad]

I agree with Jazz. A nice sharp PE slices bread as thin as you like :D It depends on an individuals definition of sharp

Interesting. I wonder why nobody makes plain edge bread knives?

[Jazz]

My 10" chef knives are "plain edge bread knives", and can do most anything else in the kitchen that a knife will be called upon to do, except paring, but it can be done. If a knife is very sharp, bread isn't a problem. The average household has most likely dull knives, so a serrated will work better on bread. Who knows?

[Mr Blonde]

I specifcally pack a serrated police 3 in my travel bag as a folding bread knife. Together with an XL chinese folder, I have yet to be caught short for food prep during camping trips. I've found that bread with hard crusts respond better to a serrated edge than a plain edge. Now, for softer bread or rolls, a good plain edge (calypso sprint comes to mind) will do the job just fine.

Exactly my thoughts.
Everyone can understand that and therefore I really dont understand why people try to bring in the opposite here.

In comparison cutting bread is very similar to sawing.
When using a tool like a saw you want length and there is no need for huge pressure but you let the saw do the work.

So for cutting bread most recommended is a serrated blade of length.
ALL kitchen breadknives are according this model.

The TS want a knife to cut bread, well is that the only thing? Or are there other uses too? Is it for home or on the road? Too minor information to give a good answer.
