(More customer reviews)I first became interested in finding out what was the green knife that Mario Batali had on ICA. Turns out to be a Sanelli legging type knife. I have lots of knives - German and Japanese, stamped and forged, but I was looking for a long bread knife. Lets face it - size matters when you want to slice your own bread, particularly my favorite 3 cheese miche from Panera. You really need a long blade to get the proper sawing action with control to cut the bread.
The Sanelli 12.5 in blade is just the knife I was looking for. It has a long serrated blade, a very comfortable non-slip grip, similar, but possibly better than the Victorinox fibrox grip. I find that feature very important after I bought my Henckels five star knives which become very slippery if wet or dealing with something with fat like chicken. I bought the Henckels because the grip was comfortable, but I didn't foresee that the smoothness of the handle would be so slippery. While I haven't smeared chicken fat over the Sanelli, you can tell that grip is pretty secure.
I find with this knife its sure-handedness lets me make thin cuts on my loaves to as small as 1/4-3/8" without a loss of control. Hey it's one way to cut down on calories when you have a large loaf! LOL I do like the green and red handle, a bit flashy next to my other black-handled knives, but I know where to go right away to find my slicer. Plus if your kitchen table is cluttered most of the time as mine is, you can see where the knife is before getting nicked on the blade (ok, I know it should be left in the block, but I use it all the time. LOL)
Sure, its a stamped blade, but who really cares on a serrated knife anyway? When the time comes that it is dull, just get a new one! they are inexpensive enough. I don't expect that for some time since the blade is very sharp now. Frankly, after spending thousands of dollars over the years on Henckels and such, I find them not as serviceable as the Victorinox, or now this Sanelli. You are more often going to find a professional working with a more practical knife like these, rather than trophy case knives that are $100+
Props to unbeatablesale dot com for the quick delivery and the $15 coupon for leaving them feedback. So if you buy this knife be sure to leave feedback for the vendor - its worth it! Maybe I'll get another one for leaving this too! LOL
