great knife with good handle and weight- i can even cut straight slices now!
Aesthetically attractive, sharp, and appears well-made. Nice complement to the artisanal breads we bake.
Love this. Have bought other knives in this set and am delighted.orriginally bought the extra length 10″ knife. It was too long. No fuss return and exchanged it for this. Would recommend.
“So far I am very satisfied with the knife. It has a great feel – great balance, nice weight and cuts bread like butter.”
Excellent product that cuts home made bread fantastically well. Certainly would recommend.
Very well made and good looking knife. Cuts with ease.
Bought as a gift.
I am overwhelmed by these knives, they are just beautiful, from the packaging to the balance and then the knife itself, I am very proud to have some in my kitchen. The care that comes through from this family run business is in every detail of my purchase. Thank you Zelite xx
Bought it as a present for my dad, and he absolutely loves it.
Looks amazing, really makes a lovely gift for the man that has everything!!”
Product/service was first class, and will certainly recommend them as will definitely use them again too buy more in range
good knife, at first. I would recommend only cutting bread.
This knife is beautifully built and extremely sharp. It slices through the freshest of bread with ease. Just be careful that your fingers don’t go anywhere near the blade!
This is a very good bread knife and well worth the sale price. The first thing you notice is the packaging. A lot of effort has been placed in creating a box that displays the knife and protects it in transport. The knife itself is very heavy and clearly made with very hard steel. I’ve just tested it on a slightly stale crusty sourdough loaf. I had no luck with a cheaper knife (about 20) as it was like cutting through a tree bark. This knife however had no problems at all. A excellent product.
This is my third knife in this range as I have the 8″ executive chef knife and 4″ paring so I have other items in the range to compare to and am very satisfied with them. This though is a slight disappointment, not in any way due to the quality of the materials but due to the pattern of the Damascus steel which on this bread knife is just straight lines down each side and nowhere near as striking as the others even though it is meant to be tsunami rose pattern as are the others. Again I have to say they are near perfect knives but this one has poor pattern for me, maybe just this one and it does not stop me recommending these knives.
Company contacted me and explained the reasons for this and after sending a photo they said this was normal so maybe I’m just being to fussy because I was spoiled by the first 2 knives, they gave me a discount and have to say the service from them is as good as the knives. marked up to 5 stars instead of 3 for the great caring service
Gradually amassing a collection of Zelite knives, as and when I feel I need to indulge myself. Have been tracking the bread knife for a while before taking the plunge. Item arrived next day, and didnt disappoint – good feel in hand and razor sharp. Excellent presentation packaging, but as kitchen drawer becoming filled with boxes, have invested in a magnetic knife rack, to give ease of access and display these beautiful knives.
These super-sharp and well-balanced knives are a joy to use in my kitchen and were superbly presented and quickly dispatched by Zelite. The price is justified by the superior quality and I wish I could have bought these years ago. All of my old inferior preparation knives have gone in the bin, and good riddance!
This knife is amazing. I cut a fresh baked raisin/pumpkin bread with a crisp crust and each slice was perfect with no crumbs or tears. Also cut crisped hero buns three quarter through with no damage to the crust. Effortless and perfect slices every time.
This is the third Zelite I’ve purchased. I’ve been phasing out Stanless Steal knives and the VG-10 is a rock solid Carbon Steal. They are well balanced ang feel great in your hand. Extemley Sharp!!!!
Just as described and just as good as all the reviews say. This is a strong, nicely balanced knife that does the job brilliantly.”
Hi Sam my name is leighton and I have just bought the complete set off amazon delighted with my new knives an easy five stars on them all , thanks again for brilliant service and even better knives…
I just replaced our Wusthof bread knife that we’ve had for about 12 years with this Zelite bread knife and I love it. The handle is very weighty, but in a good, solid way. And the blade is wider than my old Wusthof, so cutting into thicker loafs, or vertically slicing a bagel is made much easier. It’s a beautiful knife at a great price. Comes in a lovely box.
A superb bread knife I would highly recommend if I could afford it I would buy the whole range
Knives are superb, they not only look beautiful they are a pleasure to hold and use having a great weight and balance”
Great knifes. Very pretty and Razer sharp. Would highly recommend to others and will be buying their other knifes in the future.
same your money and buy!!! its beautiful….nice weight….great feel…cuts great….dont waste your money on anything else….its sweet!!!
This knife is awe inspiring and it is a great addition to my kitchen!
“Gorgeous knife, heavy and very well balanced. I hope it will keep its edge, which is very sharp and cuts crusty bread as well as delicate brioche effortlessly.”
I love to cook for my family and was researching knives and came across the Zelite products. For the type of knife I wanted these were perfect and cheaper than competitors of he same type. Once I received my knives and started using them I fell in love with the 4 that I bought.
A great knife to use well made and very nice to handle
Very sharp, good weight and quality. I hope it lasts as long as claimed.
Great knifes, I started with the chefs knife but so impressed bought the majority of the set. Good weight and grip and comes very well sharpened. Well packaged too, nice little display style box if your into tha
Great knife! This is my second purchase from the company and they never disappoint 🙂
Knife is very sharpe and does the trick, this is for my son who is on a coking course so should help, delivery was very quick, very pleased
The packaging is the first thing to catch your eye as you open the box. It is beautifully presented. Then you get to the knife and you get a sense that you have purchased a truly fine piece of cutlery. And, based on my initial use, that is exactly what you get. I rushed out and bought a crusty baguette and this knife went through it so smooth and precise. No tearing of crushing, just a clean, sharp cut. A superb knife.
Very impressed with this knife! I am now thinking of buying other Zelite Infinity knives as a result of the quality of this knife.”
Excellent bread knife that cuts well with little waste and crumbs
“am i a chef no trainee chef no then why these simple you get what you pay for, plus i understand about steel, these knives i bought 4 of this make they really are the business, cutting is so easy and effortless hence why you have to totally respect them and be aware of what you are doing.the other good thing is my other knives have gone i don’t need them thank you zelite ps paying customer”
Beautifully made bread knife, cuts fantastic. I expect that it’ll look great and last forever.
A beautiful and high quality bread knife, expected given the price.
Purchased as a birthday gift for my son. It completes his collection of Zelite knives.
The first one exceeded his expectations, he couldn’t wait to have the rest.
Quality and appearance are second to none. Going to start my own collection shortly !
So far this knife is everything I was looking for in a high quality slicing knife. The follow up and contact from the company since my purchase has been spectacular.
“Brilliant service and brilliant knife, cut through our bread like butter excuse the pun. Buy with confidence from this company.”
This is a beautifully crafted knife which also comes in a beautiful presentation box. I love soft fresh bread and have never been able to cut it as thin as I can with this knife. I have used it on a number of different food types since I got it a few weeks ago and have never been disappointed. It really is outstanding quality and in a different class.
Very satisfied, with proper care these knives may well be passed on for generations. Displayed on my kitchen wall and ready for use they add elegance and a professional touch to my humble cookery.
What an amazing product amazing quality and the best customer service ever encountered! I would say don’t look anywhere else buy from this company…. guaranteed happiness
These knives are beautiful, have a fabulous weight and slice with no effort.
Only used the knife once as it only arrived yesterday but I’m really happy with my purchase. Well worth the price and would definitely recommend it.”
Brought this knife for my husband , he loves it not only dose it look nice it cuts like a dream well worth the money and is a knife that will last a life time .
This order completed a set of knives that started with the Chef’s knife. 7 Zelite knives later and my amateur chef mother is on cloud 9. Once she used the Chef’s knife she told me wanted more Zelite knives. She is happy with quality, feel, and functionality of all of her knives and is singing Zelite Infinity’s praises to all her friends. Thank you for the great products at reasonable prices.
I bought this knife for a Christmas present, and it is great. It is sharp and can cut through meat very well. The balance on this knife is astounding. It was money well spent, and I’m sure we well enjoy it for years to come.
Well built knife. Good secure handle. Razor sharp blade. Goes thru tough stuff like a hot knife through butter. Would recommend.
Always a pleasure doing business with the people at Zelite, and their Japanese knives are incredible. Haven’t tried the German ones yet.
Fabulous knife. Lovely piece of kit. Very sharp. I would recommend
Ordered on Black Friday delivered on the Sunday. Great service and delivery!!. The knife is excellent quality and well presented in Box. I have had a few Bread and Cooks knives over the years from well known manufactures, but this one leaves them standing for quality and performance.
This is a another fine blade to add to my growing collection of Zelite knives, and well worth the asking price. Usual excellent build and razor sharp out of the box. The best bread knife I’ve ever used, and feels like a lifetime investment. Loaves and rolls beware!
I’m in love with the look and feel of these knives. I would recommend to anyone I know.
This knife is beautiful to look at and a delight to use, I shall be buying more knives in this collection very soon!
Any chef knows that part of culinary success is having the right ingredients and having the right tools. And perhaps the most important of the latter are sharp knives. Zelite knives fits that bill. They are extraordinarily sharp but also rugged able to preform to perfection. I have used many culinary knives over the years, and the zelites are among the very best.
Wow these are very nice knives. I mean I am surprised and they are heavy duty and cut amazingly!!! They look awesome too, our friends asked how much we paid for them this past Friday while we had them. They thought we paid $200 or more lol. You will be very happy with this for the money and quality. Damascus is always a good choice but these are incredible and I’ve never seen anything like them.
Amazing knife I purchased all of there knives and love them all
An excellent and beautiful bread knife!!! Thank you so much!!!
This is a very good product, impressed bu the quality
“The knife arrived just a few days ago. I have only used it a few times but seems to work well. Appearance and balance are good. I like the knife so far.”
Nice knife. The blade is a bit wider than what I expected, but nevertheless it does the job as advertised.
“Looks amazing ! This knife was purchased as a present – I am thinking of buying these knives for myself !!”
I recently did a review for the Zelite Infinity Chef Knife which is a German Steel blade and the best knife I had ever used by far.
Since then Zelite kindly offered me some of their Infinity VG10 Japanese Steel knives for review purposes, this is my review for the 8 inch Bread knife.
The moment I opened the box I knew I was going to be in for a treat. The knife come’s beautifully presented in a an ‘Infinity’ branded box that is nice but hides the beauty within, opening the magnetic clip you are presented with the handle of the knife snugly tucked in to a red velvet bed.
Lifting the knife out for the first time feels really special and if you were to give this as a gift I think it would be highly appreciated.
These Zelite blades are incredible to look at, I have shown them to quite a few people since it arrived and nobody has yet failed to be impressed with the Damascus steel ripple. You can see it in the photos I have added but you really need to hold it in your own hand and twist it in the light to see how stunning it really is. Even the handle has not been left out. It has been triple riveted but you cannot feel them, the whole handle is smooth to the touch and is gripped easily and comfortably. One of the rivets is a Zelite signature piece which is finely crafted from 3 different metals which you can see it in the photos.
These Infinity VG10 knives are seriously sharp, they are the sharpest blades in my arsenal right now and I intend to treat them with the respect they deserve. The missus has already been told to steer clear and never put them in the dishwasher lol..
Just like the others in its family the knife is incredibly well balanced, it just feels right. I have had ‘fairly’ expensive knives in the past only to find that they are a little uncomfortable to use but this has no such issue. The handle is nicely rounded and smooth and makes it easy to grip.
I bought some lovely fresh bread this weekend and where my previous bread knife was pretty sharp I could not have sliced the loaf so thinly, accurately and would certainly have squashed it a little in the process. As you can see in the photos there was no such issues here. Hardly any pressure was needed to make my way through the bread and there was no tearing or crushing at all. As with the other knives in the range I am amazed at at the difference a blade of this quality makes to every day jobs.
I have since donated the my old kit to family as there is no way I can ever go back to them.
Using them after these would just be disappointing now..
This knife could be seen as having a fairly hefty price tag but I can absolutely say it is well worth it and can whole heartedly recommend this one and it’s brethren.
Great, heavy weight very sharp bread knife. Amazingly better than the average.
Bought as a gift for my 21 year old niece whose started cooking and she loves them!”
Fantastic quality, used in a professional kitchen with fantastic results
I’m a keen amateur cook and was looking for something to replace my 15 year old much loved global knives. I bought the whole set of these knives after seeing various recommendations on Amazon and elsewhere. They aren’t cheap but with knives like these you get what you pay for. They are beautiful to look at and to handle. They are razor sharp (really, really sharp- watch your thumbs). The balance is just so and perfect for me. Time will tell how they last but at the moment I’m very happy with them. They also arrived quickly and beautifully packaged. Highly recommended.
Great product. It really works like a bread knife should. No more squashed loaves!!
You can order from this seller with confidence. Their products are extremely high quality and are packaged to perfection. Zelite Infinity knives are the best I’ve ever owned. They are much more comfortable in my hand than the Cutco, Wustof, or Henkels knives I own. Since purchasing Zelite Infinity knives I put all my other knives away for storage because I would never reach for the others now that I have these. They are weighted perfectly and are amazingly sharp. I can’t say enough about these knives.
Many thanks for the incredible bread knife I have received from Amazon UK.
It is without doubt the best of my Damascus knives and cuts bread superbly with few crumbs and no compressing of the bread.
Can’t ask for more. Sharp. Sturdy wide blade. Riveted handle that can’t come apart like my last bread knife. Handle larger than any other and fits my hand like it should. Showcase packaging.
Beautiful packaging, wonderful materials feels good in the hand cuts like a dream
The very best bread knife I have owned. Does the job quickly!
This bread knife is my second purchase from Zelite so no need to repeat what I said about the 8″ chefs knife. Beauty and function combined. This is a serious bread knife, but also great for cutting all the awkward things, like ripe tomatoes,lemons,pineapples,onion skins,crispy jacket spuds, pork crackling etc.etc. A beast of a knife,so don’t let the kids near it!
I bough 2 knives from Zelite: both of them are superb knife from Zelite. I love them very much. Highly recommend.
This is another superb knife from Zelite. I’m running out of superlatives for this co. and all their knives. I paid full price for them , so the reviews I’ve given are not because of discount for a review simply what I have found out about them.
My husband is in love with this knife. We wanted a good bread knife for so long, one that could slice any bread… We have one now!
It is an object of extreme beauty and highest quality. It just feels right in my hand and it is awesome for cutting even the hardest baked goods.
I was very kindly sent a selection of kitchen knives by Zelite for review purposes and have been using them daily and this one for over one month now. This review is for the Bread Knife knife . . .
As somebody who is a foodie and is passionate about cooking and who does bake their own bread weekly I was interested to get a look at this bread knife. Although a bread knife, this can be used for fruit, vegetables and any other softer food types too.
The inexpensive bread knives that I use at home are still good and I will still use them but I will jump right in and say now that this one from Zelite has got to be the best bread knife I have personally ever used and possibly ever will? I have uploaded a few photos of this knife in use.
I have a bit of a thing for a decent knife so this review may be a tad lengthy as I wax lyrical but I believe that a product as exceptional as this wholeheartedly deserves it.
The presentation of this knife is first class. It arrived in a velvet lined storage box and looks the business from the get go! First impressions – amazing!
I know you’re looking at the price of this knife (I did) so I did a bit of research into Zelite and how they produce their knives. When you’re spending your hard earned cash on something like this – you just gotta know if it’s worth it! . . .
A lot development has gone into manufacturing a knife here that uses the very best materials – great manufacturing/engineering techniques and has been tested by hundreds of chefs and tweaked to perfection before the end product has been rolled out to the customer – us! You’re getting top quality and functionality with a Zelite knife, which if looked after properly will definitely last for decades.
A short rundown of the specs that all Zelite high end kitchen knives possess with a quick explanation of what it all means . . .
– Japanese VG10 Steel core wrapped in 67 layers of high carbon stainless steel (this gives superior strength – hardness – amazing sharp edge retention and re-sharpening capabilities – the best rust and corrosion resistance available)
– Full tang blade (the blade runs the full length of the knife giving ultimate strength for this type of knife)
– Patterned blade (the Tsunami Rose pattern forged into the blade provides a non stick surface making slicing and dicing a smooth and neat job)
– 3 stage sharpening process (gives scalpel-like sharpness and great edge retention)
– Ergonomic design (hundreds of chefs have tested this knife and through their feedback this is the end product providing the best hand held comfort during use)
– Triple riveted comfortable handle. The material used to make this handle is G10 Garolite which is basically impenetrable to anything the kitchen can throw at it and super hard wearing. The middle rivet has a lovely little design feature on it which just adds something a bit different to this knife in my opinion. It personalises it making this knife stand out from the crowd.
So how does it perform in daily use, in a real home kitchen? First class in my users opinion!
What I loved about this knife over the last few weeks of use . . .
– Is that the blade is scalpel sharp right along it’s length to the tip. As big as this knife initially feels – you will get used to it over a day or two.
– I like the depth of the blade as it helps with slicing deep in a controlled way through huge loaves of bread and big fruit and veg. No more cutting fresh bread and ending up with a wedge shape. You can cut straight down with this knife – the weight helps guide it downwards.
– I like the ergonomic handle design. It really is extremely comfortable during use and feels natural in the hand. This gives you brilliant control and ultimately speed (if that’s your bag!) Also if you are like me and can spend a whole day in the kitchen hand fatigue can be a major issue. Again this is reduced by this handle design.
– I love the fact that this is so sharp – the softest farmhouse breads, rolls and baps that any other knife would compress – this one can slice straight through with no effort.
So, what have I used it for?
Well, cutting bread mainly and fruit and veg. As daft as this may sound to some – boy can this knife cut bread brilliantly! Smooth as you like it glides through any bread with ease. As somebody who bakes bread regularly a nicely cut/sliced piece of my bread presented to a guest/my partner is something I consider. Another thing I love about this knife is that it will cut straight down the length of say a baguette/French stick splitting it in a perfect half neatly. Now you can melt some cheddar cheese onto the whole toasted half slice and present with tomato soup!
Fruit and veg can be cut/sliced too. Great for oranges – lemons – limes – grapefruit – tomatoes – bell peppers and anything else you can think of!
Ultimately this is a beautiful no expense spared first class knife for the home cook and foodie – kitchen gadget – utensil lover like me! It will last decades if looked after and used properly. I’m 47 now – I expect to be using this knife at 70 and I won’t be keeping this in a box! I will be using it. It was made to be used, life’s too short not to isn’t it?
Ps – If you’d like to get into making bread I can recommend The River Cottage cookbook No3 – Bread! 🙂
I follow Zelite Infinity on all of their social media sites, and when they announced they were expanding from the USA to the UK I simply had to get my hands on these knives. The hype is underrated — these are absolutely gorgeous and so sharp right of the box.
I am a very keen home cook but I am not an engineer or metallurgist so all I can comment about the material is I have read the literature that Zelite have published and what is available on the internet, and it seems they have used the best materials throughout the entire knife. Having a product that offers the sharpness and edge retention capability with stain and rust resistance to make them easy to maintain seems a winning strategy to me.
Normally you would expect bread knives to be light and quite flimsy in constriction — not this beast! Its solid, has a real heft to it and is mighty sharp. The blade has the stunning mirrored Damascus pattern and is made from the best materials available. The handle is full tang, large, rounded and solidly comfortable in your hand. I used the knife on soft squishy breads, rock solid sourdough breads and everything in-between — it performed flawlessly. Even on large fruits like pineapples, soft small fruits like tomato, or anything else I put in front of it — performed like a super star every time. I think it’s clear I love this knife. It comes in a high quality gifting box making it ideal for wedding, Christmas, Birthday or other gifting occasions. Overall, this strangely enough is my favourite out of the 4 knives I have from Zelite Infinity (I love them all, but as I cook bread several times a week, I use this one the most). Rock-solid 5 stars!
Disclaimer: A sample was provided to me in exchange for an honest and unbiased review. This has no bearing on my rating – all comments are my own opinions based upon the trial period
I liked this knife so much, i ordered one for my son. It’s wonderful
Even though I own all 4 Zelite Infinity products, I pay a special attention to bread knives as cooking home bread is something I have thoroughly enjoyed for years. This 8 Inch bread knife performs like no other knife I have used. Very hard crusty loafs — it glides through like butter. Soft squishy loafs, cuts wafer thin slices effortlessly. For the knife itself, its heavy, balanced, feels extremely comfortable with the rounded shaped handles and has the looks of something you would expect in a king’s kitchen. The blade has a mirrored Damascus pattern and the part that really sets things off for me is the gold coloured rivet in the handle — it looks beautiful. If you are looking to buy someone a gift this would be ideal — it comes in a stunning gifting box with red velvet inlays. Overall I am extremely impressed with the entire line of Zelite knives and the outstanding customer service you get from this company.

I love this knife! Beautifully made. Has a nice weight to it. Would definitely buy again.
“I ALWAYS WANTED A GOOD BREADKNIFE. TRIED MANY AND GAVE UP. WHEN I FINALLY SEARCHED AMAZON WHERE I ALWAYS RECEIVED GOOD PRODUCTS AND FOUND THE ZENITE INFINTY AND CLAIM BY THE SELLER, I ORDERED. I OPENED THE PACKAGE AND TRIED ON BREAD, AND TOMATOES, I AM EXTREMELY PLEASED. I WILL GIVE FIVE STARS WITHOUT HESITATION. “
Cuts bread cleanly, even very soft bread. Handle is easy to grip.
Thank you so much for leaving this awesome feedback “OMG I am just loving this knife! It seems to balance just right in your hand. It is a nice looking knife and works well. Tomorrow I am going to make some of my homemade bread to use it on some of the soft bread and see how it does. Can’t wait !”
is it possible to fall head over heels with a knife? I never thought so, but this is certainly the case with this 8″ Bread knife by Zelite. In fact, this is one of the 3 Zelite Japanese VG-10 Damascus steel knives I now own (YES, i like them that much) ! If you want high end cutlery without breaking the bank, Zelite certainly delivers. You will know you have made the right choice when you order and receive your Zelite knife and hold it in your hand for the first time and feel and see the amazing quality and attention to detail!
The first thing I noticed about this knife was how heavy it is. It feels solid in the hand, and the contour of the handle makes it very comfortable to hold. The second thing I noticed was how sharp it is. The day it arrived, my husband came home with a crusty baguette — the kind that I normally wrestle with, using our old Henckels bread knife. This Zelite bread knife is no joke! It sliced through that baguette like it was nothing, so I decided to try just pushing straight down on the baguette (vs using a sawing motion) to see what would happen. To my surprise, it cut clean through. It didn’t squish it, I didn’t have to bear down on the back of the blade with the palm of my other hand, there was no cracking and crumbling of the crust, it was just a nice, clean, effortless cut. I then tried just pushing the blade straight down on a soft, ripe tomato, and again, it cut clean through without squishing it.
Like the chef’s knife, the bread knife comes beautifully boxed. I have a few friends who are getting married this year, and I plan on giving these bread knives as gifts because a) whether they cook or not, everyone needs a good bread knife, b) these knifes speak to a standard of quality that is getting exceedingly hard to come by, and c) I know they will be used often and for a lifetime, if not for generations. Yes, these knives are that extraordinary.
-Beautiful Damascus Pattern! Besides looking AMAZING.it also provides the non-stick surface that is necessary for slicing my sandwiches.
– This thing is soo damn SHARP so it works as a self-defense weapon if someone is to break into our home
-The 61+ Rockewell Hardness and cryogenic tempering process offers the performance in sharpness and edge retention
-This knife is strong, durable and PERFECTLY balanced
-The handle allows maximum comfort and control. The G10 handle makes it resistant to all types of environmental hazards
-I LOVE that it’s Rust &Stain Resistant
-This knife makes me FEEL like a home master cheft!
This Knife is Just Absolutely Beautiful and I am very happy and proud of my purchase!
Great bread and slicing knife. Beautiful to look at and pleasant to work with
