8" Bread Knife - Elegant Series (B38L)

Stop crushing your crusty sourdough. A serrated blade with the right set of teeth cuts through a hard crust and a soft crumb in one forward stroke, no pressing required. This 8-inch bread knife is long enough to clear a wide boule in a single pass without having to restart at the heel.

The Serrated Edge Advantage

Serrations grip the crust where a straight edge would slide and compress. You draw the blade back and the teeth do the work, so the crumb stays intact instead of squashing flat. The same principle applies on brioche, on a crusty baguette, and on ripe heirloom tomatoes where a straight blade just pushes the skin around. Light pressure, clean cut.

Damascus Steel, Linen Micarta Handle

The core is 10Cr15CoMoV high-carbon stainless steel, wrapped in 67 layers of Damascus and vacuum heat-treated to 60-62 HRC. That hardness means the serrations stay sharp far longer than a soft-steel bread knife would. The linen Micarta handle runs full-tang all the way to the butt, so the knife doesn't feel front-heavy when you're drawing it back through a wide loaf on a board. It's a bread knife that looks good on the bench, not hidden in a drawer.
