Serrations cannot be honed, so the geometry has to be right at purchase · review
A 30 cm (11.8 in) serrated blade — the longest bread knife in this hub — at the lowest price in the catalog.
What we would actually buy Length is what a bread knife is for, and this is the longest here for the least money.
A 30 cm (11.8 in) serrated stainless bread knife with an ergonomic handle.
The longest in this hub. A bread knife must exceed the loaf, and 30 cm (11.8 in) handles a large round sourdough, a wide cake or a melon in one stroke.
No steel grade is published, and serrations cannot be maintained. What you are buying is geometry that works from the start and will slowly stop working after years — at which point you replace it.
A 30 cm (11.8 in) blade needs a drawer that takes it, or a block with a long slot. Worth checking before ordering.

The blade has to be longer than the loaf, or the cut is finished in two strokes that never quite meet. 30 cm (11.8 in) handles a large sourdough or a wide cake.
Not at home in any practical sense. A tapered rod worked scallop by scallop can restore them, and professional services do it — for a knife at this price it is not worth the trouble.
