XINZUO B32 67 Damascus Steel Bread knife with Black G10 Handle and Brass Rivet

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.

This Bread knife is an elegant but functional addition to your kitchen. Each XINZUO blade features a beautiful Damascus pattern blade mounted on a lovely G10 Handle that has a proper heat treatment for great edge retention and durability.

The blade has a 10Cr15CoMoV Steel Blade Core that is used for the cutting edge. This steel has a high carbon content which means it can take and maintain a very sharp edge. Combined with the vacuum heat treatment process, this steel is very consistent in its hardness.

This hardness ranges from 58-62 HRC on the Rockwell scale, which is a sweet spot in terms of performance and durability. Any lower and the blade would be very durable but require constant sharpening due a lack of edge retention. Any higher and the blade would run the risk of chipping from being too brittle.

The core is reinforced and protected by two outer sections of steel made of 316/316L Stainless Steel. This helps protect the blade from acidic foods and rust which can shorten the life of your knives. Each section is made of 33 layers of steel in order to produce the Damascus pattern and create consistency within the steel’s substructure.

The outer sections and the core combine for a total of 67 individual steel layers. This creates a very durable, sharp blade and combines the different benefits found in high carbon and stainless steels.

The handle is made from Black G10, which is used for its consistency and durability. It features an ergonomic design that clearly directs the hand to where the knife needs to be held while cutting down on long term discomfort.

The G10 is a good counterpoint to the Herringbone Damascus pattern and the copper mosaic rivet at the bottom of the handle adds another layer to the overall aesthetic.

The Bread knife specializes in working with breads and other baked goods. The 8 inch blade allows you to efficiently saw through tough crusts and airy materials without having to crush what you’re cutting. This helps keep the food looking presentable and helps preserve the flavor.
