I bought this bread knife to use with the Norpro Bread Slicer. It is a good match. It's long enough to use with the Norpro, and it fits nicely into my knife block with my other Chicago cutlery. In fact, it's so sharp that I can cut even slices without the Norpro, but I use the Norpro anyway, to catch crumbs. Terrific combination.  Highly recommend it.
