Victorinox Cake Knife

No, this knife is not dishwasher safe. The maple wood handle requires hand washing and immediate drying to prevent the wood from warping or cracking over time.

Yes, the 10-inch length is specifically designed for single-pass torting, allowing you to slice through standard-sized cakes cleanly without needing to saw back and forth.

The scalloped geometry acts like individual slicing teeth, which reduces friction. This allows the blade to glide through delicate sponges and dense desserts without tearing the crumb or compressing the cake structure.

To keep the handle in top condition, avoid soaking it in water. Periodically applying a food-safe mineral oil will help nourish the wood and prevent it from drying out.

While it is optimized for cakes and pastries, the high-carbon stainless steel and scalloped edge are sharp enough to handle crusty breads. However, it is primarily engineered for the precision required in baking rather than heavy-duty bread slicing.
