Sanmeiho 10" Bread Knife

Sanmeiho 10-inch serrated bread knife in powder steel

This listing is the Sanmeiho 10" Bread Knife — “SANMEIHO 10 inch Bread Knife in Powder Steel, Serrated Bread Knife.” It is a scalloped slicer for boules and tomatoes, not a chef’s knife and not a member of the 3-piece set unless you add it. Maker: Sanmeiho. Steel: powder steel. Length: 10 inches. SKU KV-86.

Ten inches clears a round loaf. Serrations crush less than a dull straight edge on a crust. They also will not sharpen on the bench stone you use for the Sanmeiho chef’s knife. Use a tapered file or a dedicated serration hone. We do not pretend otherwise.

Powder steel on a bread knife is still powder steel: longer edge life in the serrations than cheap stamped grocery-store bread knives, and still not a reason to put it in the dishwasher. Dry the gullets. Crumbs plus water is rust even on stainless-ish kitchen steel.

Buy KV-86 if you already have a Sanmeiho chef’s knife or the 3-piece set and need the loaf blade. Skip it if you wanted a 7-inch nakiri or a steak set. Priced in CAD, Kitchen shelf, adults 18+, The Knife Vault.

What this blade is not

It is not a meat slicer (no Granton hollows claimed). It is not a nakiri. It is not Damascus. Powder steel here is the same family language as the Sanmeiho trio and paring knife, applied to a serrated geometry.

• Form: 10-inch serrated bread knife.
• Steel: powder steel. Maker: Sanmeiho. SKU: KV-86.
• Sharpening: tapered file, not a flat whetstone.

Care

Hand-wash; dry the serrations so crumbs do not rust in the gullets. Store in a slot or on a magnet with the teeth protected. Priced in CAD, adults 18+. Kitchen shelf, not the Tools whetstone aisle.
