Xinzuo B46W 8.5" Damascus Bread Knife 67 Layer Genuine Japanese AUS-10 Steel

Bread knives serrated blades, are essential to various knife sets. They tend to be included in both basic and comprehensive sets since their function is specialized yet fairly essential - that is, slicing through thick crusts and delicate pastries without crushing them. While their primary use is quite specific, their utility extends to cakes, soft fruits, and some meats, making them a valuable addition to general-purpose kitchen knife sets.

• Genuine Japanese AUS-10 Steel Blade Core for sharp edges.
• SUS430 Stainless Damascus for additional blade protection.
• 67-total layers of folded steel.
• 58-62 HRC rating for edge durability.
• North American Black Walnut and Synthetic Ox Bone handle.
• 8.5 inch blade.

This Damascus Bread knife is a quality example of AUS-10 knives. Why is AUS-10 steel an important factor for your Damascus kitchen knives? AUS-10 is a very good steel when it comes to edge sharpness through its high carbon content.

In this case, the AUS-10 makes up the primary cutting edge of the knife and offers a sharp edge that is very corrosion resistant and easy to sharpen. This means that you may have to sharpen the edge more often than other, harder edge options, but in the long run they will be easier to maintain without highly specialized tools.

With Genuine Japanese AUS-10 making up the blade core, the outer sections of the knife are made up of 66 additional layers of SUS430 Stainless Damascus Steel, for a total of 67 layers. The SUS430 adds additional resistance to acidic and other corrosive foods.

The outer steel layers also feature a beautiful Raindrop Hammered Damascus pattern off-set by an ergonomic handle made from North American Black Walnut and Synthetic Ox Bone. This makes the knife look good while allowing you to use it comfortably for a long time.

The handle swells near the middle of the grip in order to sit more evenly in the hand in a classic Western-style design. Any rough edges are dehorned to eliminate hotspots on the knife handle.

The 8.5 inch Damascus Bread knife is more like a serrated Santoku knife. This allows for a controlled method of cutting bread with thicker crusts than your standard store bought loaf. Bread knives use their serrations to avoid crushing the bread and can be used on cakes.

This Damascus Steel Bread knife just might become one of your favorite kitchen knives, if not your favorite kitchen knife when it comes to fresh baked goods!
