A serrated bread knife with teeth that actually grip the crust pulls through in one clean stroke, leaving the crumb intact instead of compressed. Reach for this when the loaf comes out of the oven, when a brioche needs slicing for a bench, or when ripe heirloom tomatoes need to come apart without the skin splitting sideways.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eTeeth That Earn Their Keep\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe serrated edge on this 8-inch blade is cut to grip both hard crusts and tender crumb without switching tools. It's the profile you want for a thick sourdough boule where a straight edge would need five back-and-forth strokes to get through the crust alone. Works equally well going back the other way on delicate pastries: a croissant comes away in a single pull, no flaking, no tearing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003e67-Layer Damascus, the Same Core as the Rest\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe blade is built on a 10Cr15CoMoV core wrapped in 67 layers of Damascus cladding, then vacuum heat-treated to 60-62 HRC.
