Know before you buy
No, this knife is not dishwasher safe. To preserve the integrity of the FSC-certified wood handle and the sharpness of the Solingen steel, you should hand wash it and dry it immediately after use.
Both options are FSC-certified and offer excellent durability. Plum wood typically features a tighter grain with a reddish hue, while walnut provides a darker, richer tone; both are chosen for their aesthetic beauty and comfortable grip.
The knife comes with a dedicated handle oil to keep the wood nourished and protected. We recommend applying a small amount periodically to prevent the wood from drying out and to maintain its natural luster.
The leather pouch is designed to protect the blade's edge during storage. Since high-performance steel can be dulled by contact with other utensils in a drawer, the pouch ensures your knife remains sharp and safe when not in use.
The 9-inch length is ideal for slicing through large crusty loaves, such as sourdough or artisan boules, in a single motion. The serrated edge is engineered to grip the crust without crushing the soft interior of the bread.
