Jantz had a few at the Blade Show last year that might pass as "bread" blades, but don't see many of them. Alternate if you can't find what you want - go to thrift store and look through the knife box. I've seen several Vitronox, Forschner, Chicago, etc from time to time. Knock the handles off, clean up, and rehandle with nicer material. Not much different than buying a blank (lot cheaper). I have met a few knife "assemblers" that do this on a regular basis. Not my boat floater, but not for me to judge.

If you are looking for higher grade material, you will probably have to get them custom made.
