{"product_id":"xinzuo-uliassi-bread-knife-10-inch","title":"10\" Bread Knife - Uliassi Series (X03)","description":"\u003cp\u003eStop 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eLength That Actually Matters\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMost 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003e73-Layer Damascus on a Powder Steel Core\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe core is 14Cr14MoVNb powder steel, vacuum heat-treated to 62 HRC. Even on a serrated blade, the underlying steel hardness determines how long each serration \u003cem\u003estays\u003c\/em\u003e 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBlade Steel:\u003c\/strong\u003e 73-layer Damascus with 14Cr14MoVNb powder steel core\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHardness:\u003c\/strong\u003e 62 HRC (Vacuum Heat Treated)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBlade Profile:\u003c\/strong\u003e 10-inch serrated bread knife\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHandle:\u003c\/strong\u003e Rosewood, hidden tang\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUse:\u003c\/strong\u003e Slicing sourdough batards, pullman loaves, boules, layer cakes, and ripe tomatoes.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSeries:\u003c\/strong\u003e Uliassi Series (X03)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eModel:\u003c\/strong\u003e X03-MB\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eComplete Your Set\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePair it with the Uliassi Series 10\" Chef Knife (X03-10QF) for the prep work before the bake, and the Sharpening Rod (X03-MDB) to keep the rest of the collection in line between sessions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n","brand":"Xinzuo Australia","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44137522331699,"sku":"X03-MB","price":359.95,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0668\/0441\/6563\/files\/2_793bad3c-9545-4692-93cd-0538b81f6cb5.jpg?v=1776650395","url":"https:\/\/xinzuo.com.au\/products\/xinzuo-uliassi-bread-knife-10-inch","provider":"Xinzuo Australia","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
