Know before you buy
Yes, the serrated edge is highly effective for slicing through foods with tough exteriors and soft interiors, such as tomatoes, citrus, or even roasted meats.
This knife is not dishwasher safe. You should hand wash it with mild detergent and dry it immediately to maintain the integrity of the stainless steel blade.
The handle features a unique dimpled design specifically engineered to provide a secure, slip-resistant grip, even when your hands are damp.
The acute 15-degree angle allows for a much sharper, more precise cut compared to standard Western knives, which typically use a wider 20-degree angle. This results in cleaner slices that don't crush delicate crusts or soft pastries.
The G-9 is designed to be rigid to ensure stability and control while slicing through dense, crusty artisan loaves. It provides the necessary leverage to cut through tough surfaces without bending.
Because the blade is made from high-carbon CROMOVA 18 steel and ice-tempered to a Rockwell hardness of 56-58, it holds its edge exceptionally well. You will rarely need to sharpen it, and when you do, it requires specialized tools for serrated edges.
