• I never understood why people use serrated knives for bread, it gets crumbs everywhere. I use a sharp chef knife instead and it’s much cleaner. I use it for 95% of stuff, there’s no much need for any other.

      That’s one way to say you never had anything besides soft buns and bread.
      Once you get full grain or (as someone mentioned) a bread with a hard crust, you will wish for a serrated knive.

      If you’re cutting soft soft bread, then a plain blade is fine, but if it’s a crusty bread like a sourdough, the serrated blade is much better at cutting the crust without crushing the soft interior (IME, not a chef)
