The Bread Knife - The Most Underrated Blade in the Kitchen

A good bread knife is one of the most satisfying tools in any kitchen - and a vintage French carbon steel bread knife is a rare find. The serrated edge cuts cleanly through crusty bread without crushing the crumb, and the thin 0.1mm blade produces clean, even slices. Carbon steel at 58 HRC takes a fine edge and develops a natural patina with use. The POM handle is durable and practical. Made in France, where bread and the knives to cut it have been taken seriously for centuries.

Care and Maintenance

• Hand wash only - never dishwasher
• Dry immediately after washing to prevent rust
• Serrated edges do not require honing - professional sharpening only when needed
• Store on a magnetic strip or in a knife roll - avoid loose drawers
