Know before you buy
Case's proprietary Miracl-Edge serrations are specifically engineered to grip and slice through crusty loaves without tearing the soft interior. This design helps maintain a clean cut while reducing the amount of pressure needed to get through tough bread.
The full tang construction means the metal blade extends through the entire length of the handle. This provides superior balance, weight, and structural integrity, ensuring the knife won't snap or loosen at the handle over time.
Because the handle is made of natural wood, it is best to hand wash and dry the knife immediately after use rather than putting it in the dishwasher. Occasional treatment with food-safe mineral oil will help keep the walnut from drying out and maintain its appearance.
While optimized for bread, the 8-inch serrated blade is also excellent for slicing delicate items like tomatoes or citrus fruits where a smooth blade might slip. However, it is not intended for heavy-duty tasks like carving meat or chopping through bone.
The warranty covers defects in materials and workmanship under normal use. If you experience issues related to the manufacturing of the blade or handle, Case will repair or replace the item at their discretion.
