Know before you buy
This knife features 24 precision-engineered serrations designed specifically to glide through crusty loaves without tearing the soft interior. Developed with baker Nancy Silverton, the blade geometry is optimized to prevent the crushing often caused by standard serrated blades.
The X50CrMoV15 Nitro+ steel is highly durable and resistant to corrosion, but like all high-quality kitchen knives, it should be hand-washed and dried immediately after use. Avoid putting it in the dishwasher to maintain the integrity of the edge and handle.
Yes, the 9-inch blade length is ideal for larger loaves, providing enough reach to slice through wide sourdough or crusty boules in a single, smooth motion. The total length of 14 inches ensures you have plenty of leverage for clean, consistent cuts.
The full tang construction means the metal extends through the entire handle, providing superior balance and structural stability. This makes the knife feel substantial and controlled in your hand, reducing fatigue during repetitive slicing.
Because this knife features a serrated edge, it is more difficult to sharpen than a straight-edge blade. While the nitrogen hardening provides excellent edge retention, you should use a specialized serrated sharpener or professional service when it eventually needs maintenance.
