Shimizu Hamono 左手麵包刀

The serrated blade is sharpened specifically for left-handed use, with the cutting edge on the opposite side from a standard bread knife. This helps the blade track straight through bread when used in the left hand.

This is a straightforward, dependable bread knife we’ve used for years. It cuts soft bread without crushing it and produces surprisingly few crumbs. We also like that it’s dishwasher safe—an unusually practical feature for a proper left-handed bread knife.
