The blades of Global bread knives are straight and strong so each cut of a loaf, baguette, or bagel is exactly the thickness you want it you have control over the knife where thin and cheap blades give wayward results.

For most types of food preparation in the home or the professional kitchen, a knife that is sharp and well-maintained should suit the job. There are times, however, when a serrated blade is more suitable. 

One of the most difficult food types to cut is bread because a loaf normally has a hard crust exterior and a soft interior. Any pressure on the crust when cutting means that the resulting slice is often squashed and misshapen. The serrated edge gives you a head start and with minimal pressure.

All knife measurements are for the blade only, not the handle.

Features:

• The blade is constructed of a single piece of steel, with a unique convex edge for unsurpassed performance.
• Made of hollow handles which are then filled with sand to achieve the desired weight and deliver the perfect balance
• Perfectly balanced knives provide optimal control.
• The blade is made of the finest stainless steel called Cromova 18 (Chromium, Molybdenum, and Vanadium), designed exclusively for Global.
• Ice tempered and hardened to Rockwell C56-C58 degrees which hold the razor-sharp edge of the blade longer than any other steel.
• Ergonomic, stainless steel hygienic handles with signature dimple patterns offer a comfortable, slip-resistant grip.
