{"title":"Bread \u0026 Serrated Knives","description":"\u003cp\u003eA bread knife earns its place through its edge, not its size. Ours are forged the same way our chef knives are — 67 layers of Damascus steel around a cobalt-enriched 10Cr15CoMoV core at 60±2 HRC — then given wide, deep serrations that saw through crust and stop dead at the crumb instead of crushing it.

Because the serrations cut on the draw rather than on downward pressure, a bread knife is the safest blade for tomatoes, citrus, pineapple, melon and winter squash, and it is excellent on cakes, pastry and blocks of baking chocolate.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow long should a bread knife be?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eEight inches suits most home loaves and cakes. Go to ten if you regularly carve roasts or cut wide artisan boules — the blade should clear the food in one pass, because sawing back and forth over the same slice is what tears the crumb.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCan a serrated knife be sharpened?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eYes, though not on a flat whetstone. Each scallop is ground individually with a tapered rod. Good serrated steel holds its edge far longer than a straight edge, so most owners go years between sharpenings — and our free lifetime guarantee covers the blade for as long as you own it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEvery knife here comes with a \u003cstrong\u003e99-day home trial\u003c\/strong\u003e and a \u003cstrong\u003efree lifetime guarantee\u003c\/strong\u003e.
