This unusual bread knife takes the shape of the item it was meant to slice. The baguette-shaped knife blade is colored a golden brown and has a toasty brown-colored handle. As well, the holes on the knife are stylized to look like the scores on top of a loaf of bread. This bread knife also comes with a protective sheath that bears a similar appearance. This is a great way to make its purpose very apparent and easy to find in kitchen drawers.
The knife is sold through the MOMA store, emblematic of many types of cutlery featured in the Museum of Modern Art's collection of modern cutlery. This novel kitchen tool may just be the greatest thing since sliced bread.
