Limited Edition Nancy Silverton Bread Knife

This knife features 24 precision-engineered serrations and a 12.5-degree edge angle, which are designed to glide through crusty loaves without tearing the soft interior. Unlike standard serrated blades, it is fully forged from X50CrMoV15 NITRO+ steel for superior balance and edge retention.

The blade is fully forged and features a full tang, making it quite rigid. This construction provides the stability needed to slice through dense, artisanal sourdoughs or crusty baguettes with total control.

Because of the specific serrated design, you should avoid using standard pull-through sharpeners, which can damage the teeth. For long-term maintenance, we recommend professional sharpening or using a specialized serrated honing rod to keep the edges aligned.

Yes, the 9-inch blade is highly effective for slicing delicate items like tomatoes, citrus, or even carving roasts. Its sharp serrations allow it to grip and cut through tough skins or rinds without applying excessive pressure.

At 7 ounces, the knife is well-balanced and substantial without being overly heavy. The full tang ensures the weight is distributed evenly from the handle to the tip, providing a comfortable, secure grip during repetitive slicing tasks.

We strongly recommend hand washing and drying the knife immediately after use. Dishwashers can dull the blade's edge and potentially damage the handle material over time, compromising the knife's longevity.
