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 start over at the heel.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eThe Serrated Edge Advantage\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSerrations 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eDamascus Steel, Ebony Handle\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe core is 12Cr18MoV high-carbon stainless steel, wrapped in 67 layers of Damascus.
