The Japanese Arnest Tsubame Mini 165 mm bread knife is made in Tsubame, in Niigata Prefecture, a city renowned for its metalworking expertise. Its blade combines a serrated edge with a smooth cut, making it easy to cut through firm crusts while slicing soft bread without crushing it and minimizing crumbs.

Made from molybdenum-vanadium stainless steel, the blade features a mirror finish designed to reduce friction while cutting. Its full-tang handle made of natural Japanese zelkova wood offers a comfortable grip, with a shape that keeps your fingers clear of the cutting board. More compact than a traditional bread knife, this 165 mm model is also suitable for preparing sandwiches, light kitchen tasks, and outdoor meals.
