Know before you buy
The serrated edge acts like a saw, allowing you to grip and cut through hard, crusty bread crusts without crushing the soft interior. It is also highly effective for slicing delicate pastries or soft rolls without tearing them.
The FIBROX plastic handle is NSF-approved, making it a more durable and hygienic choice for high-volume kitchen use. The wood handle offers a classic, aesthetic appeal but requires more careful maintenance to preserve the material.
No, this knife is not dishwasher safe. To maintain the sharpness of the high-carbon stainless steel and the integrity of the handle, we recommend hand washing and drying the blade immediately after use.
Full tang construction means the metal blade extends all the way through the handle. This provides better balance, increased durability, and more stability while you are slicing through tough loaves.
An 8-inch blade is the standard length for most home kitchens, providing enough reach to slice through large sourdough boules or standard sandwich loaves in a single motion. It is long enough for efficiency but compact enough to remain easy to maneuver.
