Kershaw Bread Knife

A 9-inch blade provides the necessary length to slice through wide, artisan-style loaves in a single, fluid motion. This length helps you maintain a consistent angle, which prevents the blade from getting stuck or tearing the crumb.

Yes, the serrated edge is highly effective for soft pastries, cakes, and even delicate produce like tomatoes. It allows you to cut through tough skins or crusts without applying downward pressure that would otherwise crush the interior.

To keep the wood handle in top condition, it is best to hand wash the knife and dry it immediately rather than soaking it in water. Periodically applying a food-safe mineral oil can help preserve the wood's finish and prevent it from drying out over time.

The stainless steel used is designed for durability and corrosion resistance, making it well-suited for daily kitchen use. However, to maintain the integrity of the edge and the finish, we recommend hand washing and avoiding the dishwasher.

The serrations act like tiny teeth that grip the surface of the bread, allowing the knife to saw through the crust without needing to press down hard. This prevents the soft interior of the loaf from being compressed or torn during the slicing process.
