Full Bolster
The full bolster reliably protects your fingers in everyday cooking and the balance makes agile and precision work easier.
Full Tang
As an extension of the blade, the tang gives the knife reliable stability. In addition, as a counterweight, it ensures the blade is balanced.
Hand Guard
The handle sits in the hand comfortably and is curved slightly downwards at the heel to avoid slipping. The robust handle shells are secured with stainless steel rivets and manufactured seamlessly.
The bread knife is one of the key items in every kitchen. The strong blade allows for the effortless slicing of hard and soft bread without squeezing it. As well as bread, this knife is suitable for use on hard-skinned vegetables and fruit, as well as for roasts, especially those with crackling. The concave (inwardly curved), serrated edge of the knife works like the teeth of a saw but is much finer, so no pressure is required to cut any sort of bread and even a hard crust will allow a clean cut.
