Mercer M19070 Bread Knife

A wavy edge acts like a saw, allowing you to cut through tough, crusty exteriors without needing to apply downward pressure. This prevents the soft interior of the bread from being crushed or compressed during slicing.

No, this knife is not dishwasher safe. To maintain the integrity of the high-carbon stainless steel and the handle, we recommend hand washing and drying it immediately after use.

A full tang means the metal of the blade extends all the way through the handle. This provides better balance, superior strength, and increased durability compared to knives where the blade is only partially inserted into the handle.

Yes, the wavy edge is excellent for slicing sandwiches, tomatoes, or even citrus fruits. However, it is specifically designed for items with a tough exterior and soft interior, so it should not be used for precision tasks like dicing vegetables or deboning meat.

NSF certification indicates that the knife has been tested and meets rigorous standards for public health, safety, and quality. It confirms the materials are food-safe and the construction is durable enough for professional kitchen environments.
