Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of F Dick 7" Offset Bread Knife

Customer Review: A bad purchase decision...at least for me
Summary: 2 Stars

Like a nitwit, I rushed to get one of these when I read Anthony Bourdain's recommendation. I haven't had it long or used it much, but I whipped it out today to cut some slices from a tough (but fresh) baguette. I don't doubt that the knife performed as well as others of this type, but cutting up this bread with it was a serious struggle. I don't mean simply that it was not graceful and didn't feed my sense of kitchen craftsmanship; I mean that it was a tough, muscular job -- I'd say ten to fifteen seconds of forceful effort per slice.

I also happen to have a fairly new Mac Santoku knife that is scary sharp; I love dicing vegetables with it. I decided to see what it would do to this baguette and voila! It went through the baguette the way it goes through tomatoes. Well, almost that easily. It was a joy. So did I need a special bread knife? I don't think so.

Okay, the Mac Santoku is an expensive knife, especially the dimpled version that I chose. But I don't think the dimples had anything to do with the ease of slicing this baguette. The basic, 6 1/2" Mac Santoku is a little more than twice the price of this special-purpose bread knife. But when you buy the Mac you are getting both a vastly superior bread knife -- at least for crusty breads -- and one of the finest chef's knives in the world.

I was so giddy at the performance of the Santoku that I failed to try any of my other, good, smooth-blade knives. I am betting that any good chef's knife would outperform the Dick on crusty bread. And not by a little bit.
