8 Bread Knife by ZWILLING J.A. Henckels

The 8-inch scalloped bread knife boasts a razor-sharp edge, perfect for slicing through tough outer crusts of bread like rustic French loaves. Crafted in Germany, this knife features a Friodur ice-hardened blade forged from a single piece of high-carbon stainless steel, ensuring long-lasting sharpness. The enhanced bolster and full-tang design provide a stronger, more balanced knife, while the ergonomic polypropylene handle offers maximum comfort. The new stainless-steel cap with the Twin logo stamp on the handle provides a modern update to the classic Henckels design.

To maintain the knife's performance, it is recommended to hand wash it with a mild cleanser and thoroughly dry.
