The Precision Double-Serrated Bread Knife’s extra row of serrations within the serrations makes a clear difference from the first slice. In contrast to single-serrated blades that can crush your precious ingredients, this knife requires less pressure, remains sharp for longer, and is suitable for a variety of tasks. It glides effortlessly through crusty French baguettes, rustic sourdoughs and soft dinner rolls alike without pulling or tearing. It is also indispensable for slicing ripe tomatoes, thick-skinned melons and squash, and for trimming pastries and tiered layer cakes. With its unique 23cm length, the Artisan Bread Knife even cuts large French boules with ease.
Its Orange Poplar handle, with flamed grain inspired by the sun-ripened Cavaillon Melon of Provence, preserves the beauty of the natural wood and ensures each knife is one of a kind. The full bolster protects the fingers during slicing and supports a focused, natural balance.
