Michael Aram Pomegranate Bread Knife

Yes, the stainless steel blade features a serrated edge specifically designed to grip and slice through tough crusts while maintaining a clean cut through the soft interior of the bread.

This knife is not dishwasher safe. To preserve the finish of the oxidized brass and 24K goldplate, hand wash the blade with mild soap and dry it immediately with a soft cloth; avoid using abrasive sponges or harsh chemicals on the handle.

The knife is weighted to feel substantial in the hand, reflecting its artistic construction. While it is heavier than a standard stamped-metal bread knife, the balance is designed for steady, controlled slicing.

While it is optimized for bread, the serrated edge is also effective for slicing delicate items like tomatoes or citrus fruits. However, it is not intended for heavy-duty tasks like carving meat or cutting through bone.

Oxidized brass and goldplate are high-quality finishes, but they can develop a patina or lose luster if exposed to moisture or acidic foods for extended periods. Proper hand washing and immediate drying will help maintain the original appearance.
