Two bread knives
The NJP3010 has a 12-inch blade for big loaves and roasts; the No. 3000 is shorter, about 210 mm of edge, for everyday bread and cakes. Both have a wave serration that bites into crust and glides through crumb.
The nata
The No. 4165 bamboo nata has a 165 mm mirror-finished stainless blade hardened to HRC58, with a sheath and a wrist strap. It is the Japanese tool for bamboo, canes and brush.
Kitchen questions
Can a bread knife go in the dishwasher?
Hand wash and dry it straight away; dishwashers are hard on wood handles and edges.
What is a nata used for?
A nata is a Japanese hatchet for cutting bamboo, splitting kindling and clearing brush.
How do I sharpen a serrated bread knife?
Use a tapered rod on each scallop from the bevel side, then remove the burr on the flat side.
