IT'S GOOD FOR SO MUCH MORE THAN BREAD.
As you put pressure on the knife while slicing bread, it’s shared equally on the tines, which means the fewer points the better, because they’ll each have more POWER. The “gulleys” a term I learned, are important too, as they reduce the friction that would otherwise mangle the food .
There are other factors in a great bread knife. The handle needs some grip, the length needs to be long enough to get through big honking loafs, the tines need to be pointy, not smooth . And my humble,In the test kitchen one afternoon, I asked Andy Baraghani what he used a serrated knife for other than bread and tomatoes, and he said: “Tomatoes! I would NEVER. If you cut a tomato with a bread knife, Chef would take that tomato”—he mimicked grabbing it from my hands—”and THROW IT AWAY.
You can sharpen your bread knife along a whetstone , though I’ve found mine can still cut cleanly years later.

It’s easier for some to budget when anybody can see how many goats they have, and everyone knows how many loaves of bread a goat’s worth. Come the tribulations, I know these city types are going to wish they had a herd of animals to swap for firewood.” Harver later agreed to trade his first-born son in exchange for the expunging his overdue mortgage payments.
