10" Bread Knife - Uliassi Series (X03)

Stop sawing at your sourdough. A good bread knife doesn't press down and crush the crust - it glides through with almost no pressure, and the crumb stays intact below the serrated edge. At 10 inches, this one handles the full width of a pullman loaf, a long batard, or a round boule in a single stroke without the blade running out of room halfway across. It's also the right length for slicing layer cakes and ripe tomatoes where a shorter serrated blade drags and tears.

Length That Actually Matters

Most bread knives are 8 or 9 inches. That's fine for sandwich loaves but leaves you starting and stopping mid-cut on larger artisan breads and anything over 25 cm across. The 10-inch blade covers the full width of a standard batard in one pass, which means cleaner slices and less of the tearing you get when you have to restart. It's not a specialty tool for a niche use case; it's the size the job actually calls for.

73-Layer Damascus on a Powder Steel Core

The core is 14Cr14MoVNb powder steel, vacuum heat-treated to 62±2 HRC. Even on a serrated blade, the underlying steel hardness determines how long each serration stays sharp and how well it cuts through brittle crusts without rolling or dulling on the second dozen loaves. The Damascus cladding runs the full length of the blade on the flat spine side, and the rosewood handle sits well in a guide-grip for long horizontal strokes. Hidden tang construction keeps the balance forward where a bread knife needs it.
