Know before you buy
Yes, the 10-inch length is ideal for standard loaves. It provides enough reach to slice through large sourdough boules or long baguettes in a single, smooth motion without needing to saw back and forth.
The wood handle offers a classic, aesthetic look but requires hand-washing to maintain its integrity. The Fibrox handle is made from a textured, slip-resistant nylon that is highly durable, hygienic, and NSF-approved for professional kitchen environments.
No, this knife is not dishwasher safe. High heat and harsh detergents can damage the blade's edge and degrade the handle material, so we recommend hand-washing and drying it immediately after use.
The serrations are specifically designed to grip the crust and slice through it cleanly without applying excessive downward pressure. This allows you to cut through soft, airy interiors without compressing or tearing the crumb.
While high-carbon stainless steel is resistant to rust and staining, it should be kept clean and dry to maintain its finish. Because it is a serrated blade, it does not require frequent honing like a straight-edge knife, but it should be kept away from glass or stone cutting boards to preserve the edge.
