The Zhen Series 8.5" bread knife cuts crusty loaves and soft brioche without crushing the crumb. A scalloped, wavy serration grips the crust and saws clean, while the 67-layer Damascus blade over a hardened 10Cr15CoMoV core keeps every tooth sharp. The octagonal olive wood and buffalo horn handle gives a secure, balanced grip through long slicing strokes.

FAQs
No. The scalloped serration cuts on the pull stroke so each tooth saws through crust and crumb without compressing the loaf, which keeps slices even on everything from sourdough to soft sandwich bread.
You don't sharpen it like a straight edge. The teeth can't be honed on a steel or ground flat on a stone, so it stays usable far longer between services; when it eventually dulls it needs a specialist serrated sharpen, not a regular whetstone.
Yes. It is forged from 67 layers of Damascus steel wrapped around a 10Cr15CoMoV cutting core, hardened to 60±2 HRC, with 316/316L stainless cladding.
Olive wood capped with black buffalo horn, shaped in a traditional Japanese octagon and set on a hidden tang (a partial tang).
No. Hand wash and dry it straight away, dishwasher heat and detergent damage both the Damascus blade and the natural olive wood and horn handle.
8.5 inches (215 mm), long enough to clear a full loaf in one or two strokes.
The same serrations slice tomatoes, melons, crusty rolls and cake cleanly, anything with a firm skin and a soft interior.
