8.5" Bread Knife - Pin Series (X02O)

Stop sawing through your crusty sourdough and squashing the crumb. An 8.5-inch serrated blade doesn't need pressure - it glides through a hard crust with a single stroke and drops cleanly through a soft sandwich loaf without compressing it flat. This is the knife your chef knife can't replace, no matter how sharp you keep it.

Serrated Where It Counts

The scalloped serrations bite through crust that would deflect a straight edge, then carry the cut through the soft interior without tearing. You don't need a rocking motion or a sawing effort - just a light pull and the bread opens. The 10Cr15CoMoV core is vacuum heat-treated to 60-62 HRC, so the serrations stay effective through hundreds of loaves before they need professional re-sharpening.

Olive Wood Handle, Long-Blade Comfort

An 8.5-inch blade wants a handle that balances the length without tiring your wrist. Natural olive wood is dense enough to balance the blade length, and the full-tang construction means the steel runs all the way through to the butt so the knife doesn't tip forward mid-slice. The riveted grip is tight and stays tight with daily use.
