Among the more overlooked knives in any professional kitchen setup, the bread knife rarely gets the attention it deserves — until someone tries to slice a proper sourdough crust with the wrong tool. Tojiro built the PRO series to cover every station need with the same standards applied throughout: quality steel, hygienic construction, and a handle designed for real working conditions. This 215mm bread slicer fits that brief precisely, bringing VG-10 performance to a format that most brands treat as an afterthought.
The blade is constructed with a VG-10 stainless steel core clad in 13-chrome stainless steel, the same proven combination found across the PRO line. The serrated edge does what a straight blade cannot — it bites through hard crusts and soft interiors without compressing the crumb, and it maintains that ability through extended use without needing frequent resharpening. At 215mm the blade is long enough to clear a wide loaf in a single draw, reducing the sawing motion that tears rather than slices. The all-stainless tornado pattern handle carries over from the rest of the series, keeping the grip secure through the back-and-forth motion of bread slicing even with wet or flour-dusted hands. No wood, no composite — just a surface that wipes clean and stays hygienic between uses.
Care Instructions: VG-10 stainless steel is easy to maintain and the serrated edge holds up well over time without frequent attention. Hand wash and dry after each use — keep the knife out of the dishwasher. When the edge eventually needs refreshing, a ceramic sharpening rod or a professional sharpening service familiar with serrated edges will restore it cleanly. Avoid hard bones and frozen foods.
