You guys are ruining my budget!!!! You forced me to buy a breadknife!
I've been using a "never needs sharpening, cuts a tomato or cement building
block, don't try this on yer mother-in-law" bread knife for a long time.
Cost (including another free bread/etc knife AND a paring knife for the low
price of... (use yer VISA))
The new knife is made by LEIFHEIT (Germany, website - www.leifheit.com )
and is heavy but enormously comfortable in the hand, and made of solid
stainless steel. Balances just as "they" say it should, and cuts thru the
bread EFFORTLESSLY! I put the knife on the loaf, drag it, without pressure,
backward and forward and there it is!!
Cost, on sale, $17.00 (originally an extremely prohibitive $34.00+)
Now, about sharpening..... A tv cooking show suggested that knifes should
ALWAYS be sharpened professionally.... comments, anyone??
