The Classic Line Bread Knife has a 20cm serrated blade weighing 200g, with a total length of 33cm. The pointed serrations cut through hard crusts by sawing rather than pressing down, which means the soft interior compresses less and slices come away cleanly. At 20cm it's long enough to handle a standard loaf in three or four strokes. The glossy red ABS handle has a mirror finish and three-rivet fixing.
The Classic Line
Classic Line knives are built around a polished welded construction that eliminates the joint between blade and handle, the area most prone to harbouring bacteria and structural weakness. The steel is X50 CrMoV15, a high-carbon stainless alloy used across professional kitchen knives for its balance of edge retention and corrosion resistance. Handles are gloss red ABS with mirror finish and three-rivet fixing. Each knife ships in an FSC-certified gift box with foldable cardboard interior.

Why Choose the Classic Line Bread Knife?
A serrated blade is the one kitchen knife that rarely gets replaced, because the serrations do most of the work and the edge doesn't need frequent resharpening. This one is 20cm, which covers most loaf sizes comfortably, and at 200g it's the lightest knife in the Classic Line range. The welded construction keeps the handle secure over time, and the X50 CrMoV15 steel holds up well to the sustained sawing motion bread knives are put through.

What is a bread knife used for besides bread?
The serrated edge works well on anything with a resistant exterior and a soft interior: tomatoes, citrus fruit, pineapple, and soft cakes or pastries. It's also useful for slicing delicate items where a straight blade would drag and compress rather than cut cleanly.
Can a bread knife be resharpened?
Serrated blades can be resharpened but it's more involved than a straight edge. Each serration needs to be worked individually with a tapered sharpening rod. For home use, a bread knife typically needs resharpening far less often than a straight blade, as the serrations do the cutting work rather than a continuous edge.
What does X50 CrMoV15 mean?
X50 CrMoV15 is a stainless steel grade commonly used in knife blades. The X50 indicates roughly 0.5% carbon, which influences hardness and edge retention. CrMoV refers to chromium, molybdenum, and vanadium, elements that enhance corrosion resistance, strength, and durability. The 15 denotes approximately 15% chromium, giving the steel its strong resistance to rust and staining. It's a well-balanced alloy that offers a practical mix of sharpness, durability, and ease of maintenance, which is why it's widely used in quality kitchen knives.
How should I care for the Classic Line Bread Knife?
Hand wash in warm water and dry the blade immediately after use. Dishwashers blunt the serrations and can damage the handle finish over time. Avoid abrasive sponges. Store on a magnetic strip or in a knife block rather than loose in a drawer.
