The hammered tsuchime finish creates a series of hollow-ground cavities along the blade that reduce drag and help food release cleanly. The long serrated edge saws effortlessly through any crust without compressing the crumb beneath - equally at home on a dense rye, a delicate sponge, or a ripe tomato. The contoured walnut-coloured PakkaWood® handle nestles comfortably in the hand, while the embossed end cap adds balance and a premium finish.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eCare \u0026amp; Maintenance\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHand wash only, never dishwasher\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDry immediately after washing\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDo not hone - serrated edges do not require honing\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSharpen with a professional sharpening service when needed - serrated edges require specialist equipment\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStore on a magnetic strip or in a knife block to protect the blade\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Hale Imports","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":29796226859086,"sku":"TDM0705","price":231.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0261\/1819\/3230\/products\/image_2f608737-cdff-4ee2-9cc7-187bb27c65a2.jpg?v=1616929559"},{"product_id":"shun-classic-bread-knife-229mm","title":"Shun Classic Bread Knife 22.9cm","description":"\u003ch2\u003eExperience the Satisfaction of a Perfect Slice, Every Time\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Shun Classic Bread Knife 22.9cm brings Japanese precision to one of the kitchen's most underrated tasks.
