Know before you buy
No, this knife is not dishwasher safe. To preserve the integrity of the Pakkawood handle and the sharpness of the blade, we recommend hand washing and drying it immediately after use.
While designed for bread, the serrated edge is versatile enough to handle other tasks. It works exceptionally well as a deli knife for slicing meats or even for cutting through delicate items like tomatoes.
Full-tang means the metal of the blade extends all the way through the handle. This design provides superior balance, stability, and durability compared to knives where the blade is only partially attached.
The knife comes with a custom-fitted, full-grain cow leather sheath. This is the best way to protect the serrated edge from dulling and to keep your fingers safe when reaching into a drawer.
The resin-infused Pakkawood is designed to be ergonomic and weighted. It provides a comfortable, secure grip that feels balanced in the hand, allowing for precise control when slicing through crusty loaves.
