8.5" Bread Knife - Ji Series (X08)

JI SERIES (X08)
8.5"
4.7 Stars  |  15 Reviews

The Ji Series 8.5" bread knife is a 67-layer Damascus slicer built to cut, not crush. The long serrated edge saws cleanly through hard crust and soft crumb in a single draw, so a fresh sourdough or a ripe tomato comes off the board in even slices instead of squashed wedges. A 12Cr18MoV core runs through a full ebony tang for balance and reach.

DESCRIPTION

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 8.5-inch bread knife is long enough to clear a wide boule in a single pass without having to start over 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 underneath stays intact instead of squashing flat. It's the same principle on a brioche as it is on a baguette, just lighter pressure. Slicing tomatoes also works without the skin skating away first.

Damascus Steel, Ebony Handle

The core is 12Cr18MoV high-carbon stainless steel, wrapped in 67 layers of Damascus. Vacuum heat-treated to 58-62 HRC, the steel holds its edge between sharpenings far longer than a soft serrated blade would. The ebony 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.
