Victorinox Offset Bread Knife

The offset handle raises your knuckles above the cutting board, providing extra clearance. This allows you to slice through thick loaves or cakes completely without your hand hitting the counter.

Yes, the wavy edge is excellent for anything with a tough exterior and soft interior, such as tomatoes, citrus, or even delicate sponge cakes. It is also useful for slicing through thick-skinned melons.

This knife features a stamped construction, which provides a balance of flexibility and rigidity. It is stiff enough to maintain a straight cut through crusty sourdough, yet thin enough to glide through softer pastries.

Because of the serrated, wavy design, this blade does not require frequent honing like a straight-edge knife. When it eventually loses its edge, it is best to have it professionally sharpened or use a specialized serrated knife sharpener.

While the nylon handle is durable and NSF-listed for safety, we recommend hand-washing the knife. High-heat dishwasher cycles and harsh detergents can dull the blade prematurely and degrade the handle material over time.
