The Hiragana line is a great budget-friendly line that features a beautiful satin finish with durable stainless steel blades. These are perfect for any cooks that require good edge holding steel that won't easily get damaged.  

The bread knife from Hiragana excels in cutting hard-crusted baguettes and sourdough. For softer crusted goodies such as bagels, brioche, and rolls, we recommend one of these blades instead.
