Earnest Swallow Bread Knife A-77028 Made in Japan, Tsubame-Sanjo

Purchased for around 5,000 yen, but selling as it is unused. The outer box is not included, so it is being offered at a great price.
This is a bread knife that uses a combination of serrated and straight blades to cleanly slice bread while minimizing crumbs.
The serrated edge allows you to easily cut hard French bread and soft sandwich bread that tends to get crushed, as the blade can get a good grip.
With serrations on both the tip and heel of the blade, you can use either a push or pull cutting motion.
The blade is made of special steel for a superior cutting performance. It features a mirror finish that not only enhances its aesthetic appeal but also reduces friction for improved sharpness.
The long blade length of 23.5 cm makes it convenient for slicing various sizes of bread and even whole cakes.
It can also effortlessly slice other ingredients like tomatoes and meats, not just bread.
The handle is made of natural zelkova wood, designed to fit comfortably in your hand. It is positioned slightly above the blade, a thoughtful design that prevents your fingers from hitting the cutting board after slicing.
This bread knife is meticulously finished by skilled artisans in Tsubame City, a renowned center for metalworking.
