The blade length can range from 8" to 10". A bread knife does not usually require sharpening. What is a Granton Edge? It is a scalloped (release) pattern on the knife blade that adds style and during cutting or slicing, air pockets are formed between the scalloped edge and the food itself. This reduces drag on the blade which results in finer, paper-thin slices and prevents food from sticking to the blade. The benefit is higher productivity and less blade sharpening.
