Know before you buy
This knife features a micro-serrated edge, which is specifically engineered to grip and slice through crusty bread without tearing the soft interior. The precision of the serrations allows for cleaner cuts and less crumbling compared to larger, coarser serrations.
No, the handle is crafted from high-quality, durable ABS plastic designed to mimic the classic aesthetic of ivory. This material is chosen for its longevity, resistance to moisture, and comfortable grip.
While the knife is technically dishwasher safe, we strongly recommend hand washing to preserve the finish of the brass-colored caps and the integrity of the blade. Frequent dishwasher cycles can dull the serrated edge and cause the handle accents to lose their luster over time.
Due to the micro-serrated blade, this knife does not require traditional sharpening like a straight-edge chef's knife. The high-quality stainless steel is designed to maintain its cutting performance for a long time, provided it is used primarily on bread and not on hard surfaces like stone or glass.
The certificate confirms that your knife is a genuine Jean Dubost product, manufactured in France. It verifies that the item has undergone the brand's signature 25-step production process, ensuring it meets their specific standards for quality and craftsmanship.
