BUY THE RIGHT BREAD KNIFE
A bread knife, alongside the chef's knife, is an essential tool in any kitchen. Its serrated edge is crucial for cutting through tough crusts of bread and some fruits. Selecting the right bread knife can be challenging, but we're here to address any questions you may have.
Firstly, it's important to note that we exclusively offer Damascus and high-carbon bread knives in our shop. The distinctive appearance of Damascus steel enhances the visual appeal and uniqueness of your knife. However, if you prefer a bread knife with a high-carbon blade, rest assured that as long as high-quality steel is used, it should be just as reliable as a bread knife made of Damascus steel.
THE PERFECT BREAD KNIFE
In our opinion, the perfect bread knife is suitable for both left-handed and right-handed users, as it's often used by guests. That's why all of our handles are designed to accommodate both left- and right-handed individuals.
CARE FOR BREAD KNIVES PROPERLY
Caring for bread knives is fundamentally no different from caring for other high-quality knives. Here are some essential tips:
CLEANING A BREAD KNIFE IN 3 STEPS
Proper care and cleaning are crucial to maximize the knife's durability, especially for a Damascus bread knife. Clean the knife immediately after each use, preferably by hand, and dry it promptly.
- Wash off: Use mild soap or no soap at all, especially with Damascus steel blades, to protect the blade.
- Dry: Thoroughly dry the knife to prevent rust formation and inhibit bacteria and germ growth.
- Apply a thin protective layer of oil: Preserve the blade and handle by applying a thin layer of oil, such as camellia oil, to protect against external influences and prevent food from sticking to the blade.
SHARPENING
The serrated edge of a bread knife can be challenging to sharpen. However, with practice and the right tools, you can restore its sharpness. Using a sharpening rod is a great choice.
STORAGE
Proper storage is essential for maintaining the sharpness of a bread knife. We recommend storing them on a knife block.
