As recommended #1 by Cook's Illustrated. Long enough for big loaves, wide enough to cut all the way through without hitting your knuckles on the board. Very nice thin edge does not tear or make alot of crumbs. Try it on citrus and tomatoes! Made in Switzerland by Victorinox, the swiss army knife company. Model 40540 has a plastic "fibrox" handle ($29.95, click here to buy), model 40040 is wood ($39.95, click here).
