The serrated blade should glide through bread without crushing it. Make sure to use dragging motions instead of pushing straight down. Choose a blade that’s 8 inches or longer.

Three words: harder, lighter, sharper.
Japanese knives are generally lighter in weight and made of thinner, harder, advanced formula steel. Due to this harder steel, the blade stock can be thinner and the edge more acute —that is, sharper—than a comparable European knife. Classic European knives tends to be heavier and made of "softer" steel, which means they require more pressure to slice through foods.

A harder steel means a thinner and lighter blade making Japanese knives extremely agile, precise, and even less tiring to use. The thinner blade also glides through food more easily.

Japanese kitchen knives are typically made of harder steel than their western counterparts. This means that they’ll be able to hold a more acute-angle cutting edge longer.

DO Knives should be honed and sharpened regularly to maintain their edge. Over time and many impacts, the thin edge of the blade will naturally curl over. The edge is actually still sharp, but because the edge is curled, the sharpest part is no longer moving directly through the food as you cut.
