Description
You will be amazed how thin and easily you can slice your crusty sourdough bread
With the Kasane Japanese bread knife, you can slice crusty sourdough bread thinly and effortlessly. Fresh loaves straight from the oven keep their shape instead of being squashed under pressure. This super-sharp blade turns bread cutting into an enjoyable task rather than a strain on your wrist.
Ergonomic Design
The 21 cm Kasane bread knife features a unique edge with alternating large and small serrations. This design cuts through both soft and crusty bread with ease, leaving minimal crumbs. Kasane knives also stand out for their sharpness and lightweight build, which make them comfortable for long use in both home kitchens and professional settings.
The ergonomic handle reduces wrist movement and muscle strain by using natural grip and pulling strength effectively. No more shaking wrists after slicing tough sourdough crusts. Despite being a relatively new brand, Kasane knives have already earned trust among food industry professionals.
“Zero Edge” Technology
“Kasane” is a new knife brand from Sumikama Co Ltd, a renowned Japanese knife maker. The knives feature a unique technology developed in-house to maintain sharpness for longer. The company processes and sharpens each blade in a special way that slows down dulling. Research by Sumikama shows that “Zero Edge” helps retain about 80% of sharpness compared with other products in their internal tests.
Story of “Kasane”
“Kasane” means layering. It refers to many aspects of Japanese culture and lifestyle, such as the ancient art of layering colors in Japanese kimono, or many layers of colour in the changing seasons, or the beauty of various layers of one’s life experiences. There are also many layers of effort put into creating this innovative bread knife. When a company is brave enough to address their own gender disparity, deciding to reflect more female voices, and when an all male in-house designer give way to a female designer outside the company to create the best, the result is just so perfect. The company has previously been awarded two prestigious design awards from the leading international consumer goods trade fair “Ambiente Messe“.

My mornings are better thanks to you and your bread knife.
Truly, this is the best bread knife I have had in the 58 years I’ve been on this planet.
I can finally cut thin slices of my homemade sourdough bread.
Thank you!

Just wanted to say thank you for the wonderful products we’ve purchased from Shokunin Store recently. The kitchen knives are outstanding, and all three cover everything I need for cooking. They’re incredibly versatile.
I really appreciate the quick deliveries and the handwritten letters that come with them.
I also purchased a set for my mum, who loves them just as much.
Thanks again.
