Is it worth buying? Answer this simple question and you will know.

You are reading this because you want to buy a bread knife for yourself or as a gift for someone. You are also reading because you are not quite sure whether to buy this knife or another brand. Has the meaning. Not all kitchen knives are the same. But I will help you to make your decision very easy. All you have to do is answer the next question. What is more important with this particular purchase: what does the knife look like or how does it work? Here is the answer. If you want a bread knife that will cut effortlessly over time, is well forged, is made of quality metal, and doesn't care how "fancy" it looks, buy a bread knife from another brand. If you are looking for a decent quality bread knife that looks cool, or something you would give as a gift to someone who is NOT a trained chef then you would buy this Sunnecko. It really is that simple and I'll tell you why. Over the past two years, I've noticed that several factories in China have actually been producing the same chef's knives for different brands in order to sell them at a higher price. None of them are bad. But none of them will ever be used in a real restaurant kitchen. People mostly order them because they are pretty to look at. They are sharp enough to handle basic household kitchen tasks. And they are usually packaged in such a way that they can be a great gift. The prices are not usually high because the knife works better than others, but mainly for the presentation. And see, there's nothing wrong with wanting a beautiful knife that impresses the company. If you really like the look of this knife, order it. I particularly use it for slicing things like nut bread, where the sharp, serrated edge comes in handy for slicing more than just the bread itself. Or offer a clean slice of bagels and other baked goods. If you know someone who could use a decent bread knife and want to impress them with the looks and packaging this would make a fantastic gift. A wooden gift box alone will impress them. And the knife is really great, beautiful to look at. But if functionality is more important to you than looks, consider the following. From a functional point of view, this bread knife is good. But there are better bread knives for less money. They don't look as pretty, but they cut better and last longer. For example, Gordon Ramsay uses the Henckels brand of serrated knives. They have various serrated knives, but you can pick up a 7-inch Henckels Classic at Revain for $45. My wife's cousin works as a confectioner in a bakery. Her weapon of choice is a Mercer Culinary bread knife. Millenia will cost you around $25. So if you want to prioritize function over form, use a Henckels or Mercer culinary bread knife. If you want something that looks impressive or would make a great gift but isn't really used by professional chefs, you can buy this.
