DESCRIPTION:
Product is a custom designed knife, made by hand.
This superb kitchen knife is designed to slice through those difficult to cut hard breads (i.e., rye) with minimal muscle work on the user's part. Expect to be able to slice much thinner slices of rye bread without tearing the bread using this knife than with a conventional bread knife. It is also a great general purpose kitchen knife, and saved one barbecue already!
The knife is made out of high quality German stainless steel that meets the specifications for grade 440C (440C is the steel of choice on the best custom bread knives). This steel is not suited for mass production on thin knives due to its high potential hardness (versus a softer steel with more resilience). It was differential tempered.
The knife features wide theatre curtain style serrations rather than the usual small indents. This makes for a more aggressive, more powerful cutting blade and adds to the unique look. It can be re-sharpened at home using a Spyderco(R) Tri-Angle Sharpmaker sharpening system following the directions on the instructions disk for sharpening serrated edges (basically using the edge of the triangle stones rather than the flat, and moving your hand slowly) and being careful not to hurt yourself! The sharp edge is gently curved to dig into the loaf and allow for a natural arc of the cutting arm.
This bread knife is intentionally heavier than the typical bread knife, and has a forward point of balance, so the weight of the bread knife itself contributes to the cut and reduces the extent to which the user has to "muscle" the knife. This is of great importance when cutting tough loaves of bread or other serious meats. The flat of the blade, which is unusually large for a bread knife, provides the extra weight. There are several artistic circles cut out of it to reduce drag (one step beyond dimples).
This knife has an extended front bolster. You can rest a thumb or index finger on it for added power and control.
The handle width varies in light of the shape of the palm, and has two underbelly concavities that can be used to backstop the fingers. The spine of the handle curves down. Not only does this accommodate the shape of the palm, but it also aligns the palm with the blade when pushing and avoids uncomfortable extension of the wrist characteristic of normal handles aligned with axis of the blade.
The knife comes in an attractive red gift box.
This knife has been called cool and even sexy, but it can really cut.
SPECIAL BREAD KNIFE WARNINGS:
Very Sharp (and I really, really mean it)!
Not Dishwasher Safe!
30 day limited warranty for defects in materials and workmanship in lieu of any and all warranties, including fitness for any particular use (if some do-do cuts themselves I dont want to get sued
).
