SENBON 440A stainless steel pocket folding Japanese Bread knife Natural Olive Handle Camping trip Outdoor Portable Serrated knife

刃先が、刃のように薄くなっておらず、ただ単に斜めに溝を付けたような刃先で、ただ尖っているだけなので、パンを切ろうとしても切れないで、削るだけになってしまい、切りくずがたくさん出ます。クロワッサンのような、層のある生地を切ろうとすると、切れないで層を引っ掻いてバラバラになって壊してしまいます。 元々、パン切りナイフとしては、刃が少し厚すぎるので削る方が多くなってしまいます。 また、溝を切る側が、普通のパン切りナイフとは反対側に切ってあるので、パンがまっすぐ切れる方向にはなりません。切るときに見て左側がまっすぐな面で、右側に溝があるのが普通ですが、このナイフは逆に左側に溝が来ます。そのためパンを右端から切ろうとすると、左側に曲がって切れていきます。 作る人が、パン切りナイフを形だけで見て、作ったとしか思えません。切ってみれば上手く切れないことが分かります。 私は、パン切りナイフとしては使用をあきらめ、刃先を全部削り落とし、ナイフとして使用するようにしました。これも、菜切り包丁のようにしたかったのですが、やはり刃全体が厚いので、菜切り包丁としては具合は良くありません。菜切り包丁は薄くないと、人参やジャガイモのような厚さのあるやや硬いものでは、ナイフが入っていかないので、切り落とせません。葉物や肉を切ったりするのは良好です。

I purchased the serrated version and to say this knife is worth the price I paid just isn’t fair! I would've paid double or more and it would be worth every penny. This knife is great quality so I’m probably going to pick up a couple of the other models. I’ve owned Opinels and while I can’t speak to how well this will hold up over time, I anticipate it will be right there as long as the other go-to’s. This knife was incredibly well packaged. The only gripe I have is that it took a solid 30 days from order to arrival. Not sure what happened there but in the current trade climate, who knows. It was well worth the wait. Great piece of camping gear that has already earned a spot in my home kitchen too.

If any campers or survival people have ever noticed, folding tactical pocket knives are only serrated 1/2 way up the up the blade. This gives you approximately 2" of cutting length. That being said,. I tested this "bread knife" out on a reg. double braided pc. of seat belt and it cut thru it like butter ! And I have had to cut thru these belts before. IE: auto and aircraft accidents. I don't know WHY the knife companies can't get this survival knife thing together. Serrated blade on one edge of the blade, reg, straight cutting blade on the other edge of the blade. And It needs to come with a sheath ! This is a VERY nice knife, but I think I will be cutting a lot more than just bread. Also, be careful, some of these knife ads, here on Amazon, SAY 440 Japanese Stainless Steel, however ................ they are NOT !

Aesthetically pleasing to look at. Comes well packaged with a cleaning cloth, a little burlap bag. A thank you note with instructions on how to close the knife, which is important cause I did not see it and had to figure this one out. Sharp right outta the box! Great value and the blade seems to be durable. Not so good, is that it is bulky for MY hand, and a bit heavy. Worried about the long term durability of the wooden handle, with washing. I try and avoid prolong exposure to water, and I dry off immediately. It is not a pocket knife by any means This knife was purchased for my camping kitchen, but I find myself using it beyond that. I do recommend

Exactly as advertised; I was worried about it being too small, but it actually was significantly bigger than I expected. Seems to be a quality item, certainly higher quality than it needs to be for it's given purpose. Comes with a cute little bag and a cleaning cloth. Has a nice strong handle and a thick blade. The overall impression is one of sturdiness.
