Know before you buy
Yes. The 10.5-inch serrated blade is specifically designed to grip and slice through tough, crusty exteriors while maintaining a clean cut through the soft interior without compressing the bread.
Pakka wood is a composite material that is highly resistant to moisture and heat, making it much more durable and stable than standard wood handles. It provides a secure, ergonomic grip that stands up well to regular kitchen tasks.
High-carbon steel blades and wooden handles can be damaged by the harsh detergents, high heat, and abrasive cycles of a dishwasher. Hand washing ensures the blade remains sharp and the handle material stays in good condition for years to come.
The 2mm thickness strikes a balance between rigidity and precision. It is thin enough to slice through delicate items with ease, yet sturdy enough to provide the control needed for larger, denser loaves.
While the blade is rust-resistant, it is best practice to wash and dry it immediately after use rather than letting it soak in the sink. This simple habit will protect the edge and finish of the steel over time.
