I've been looking at the Opinel one (albeit the cheaper version).
I have a cheap mercer 10 inch one, which works ok, but its a bit too long to fit on my magnetic rack, so usually lies hidden in a drawer. I also don't really like using it.
Following from @nick_h.'s post, my wife can't quite understand why I would want a different bread knife when the one I have now works fine.

My brother is devoted to 'his' block full of Global knives, although he has little interest in cooking. His wife tolerates this because when it's time to chop stuff she can expect some assistance. The rest of the time he is one of the worst husbands at sharing the household chores. But his knife love can come at a high price - the things are so sharp that a minor mishap can require a trip to A&E.

The Opinel bread knife is amazing. .
I make sourdough and it cuts it like it's butter. Well worth the money - especially as it was a gift.
Should say I have the mega bucks one Les Forgés 1890.
