STEELPORT Bread Knife 10-Inch Carbon Steel - B101000

STEELPORT B101000 Bread Knife 10-Inch Carbon Steel

No kitchen is complete without a bread knife. The STEELPORT Bread Knife is designed to perform equally well cutting bread with hard crusts and softer loafs. It can also be used as a serrated slicer for cutting through BBQ meats, and other hard crust foods.

The STEELPORT Bread Knife features a unique ‘Wavy’ serration (rather than a pointed serration) resulting in a finer, sharper edge which requires less of sawing motion and can slice, rather than saw, through food with ease and is less destructive to both the food and cutting board . The 10” length is the perfect size to get through any loaf.

STEELPORT is proud to offer one of the only premium bread knives on the market.

Key Features

• Blade Shape
  The STEELPORT Bread Knife has a unique wavy "reverse" serration allowing for cutting through the toughest bread crust, while still being more gentle on other food products if used as a serrated slicer. A wavy serration is also less destructive to a cutting board than a standard pointy serration.
  The curved blade and 1” heel allows for a natural cutting motion and better knuckle clearance. We found that a 10" blade is the perfect length for a bread knife. A longer blade can be unwieldy while a shorter blade requires too much of a sawing motion.
• Blade Material/Heat Treat
  STEELPORT knives have solid one-piece traditional drop forged construction from blade tip to end cap with an integral bolster for a well-balanced and long-lasting knife. Through STEELPORT’s proprietary differential heat treatment, American 52100 Carbon Steel achieves an unmatched 65HRC hardness at the blade for exceptional long-lasting sharpness, while maintaining a softer 30HRC spine for lifelong durability. The bolster and spine are hand-polished smooth for a supremely comfortable pinch grip hold.
• Handle
  STEELPORT’s signature contoured handle makes cutting an enjoyable experience and not a chore. For all STEELPORT handles, we use Oregon Big Leaf Maple Burl, a locally sourced, naturally unique burl wood, stabilized with resin to meet tough kitchen requirements and won’t shrink or swell.

• Care & Use
  Carbon Steel is for those who take pride in keeping their tools at peak performance through basic maintenance. Carbon Steel knives like STEELPORT are not stain or rust resistant. Day to day, it is as simple as remembering to hand wash and dry after each use.
