These unique handcrafted bread knives have serrated, high carbon steel blades that are tension set and extremely sharp.
Our knives offer rounded edges all the way around, making slicing easier on the hand, and appearance. We finish the knives with our 3 step hand rubbed process of all natural food contact safe finishes which will keep them looking beautiful for years.

We are a small father son shop and have been making these knives for over 30 years for family members, gifts, benefit auctions, and have been on Etsy for about 10 years.
We have tried a number of different designs along the way, listening to everyones input to come up with the most comfortable design in fit, form, finish and function.

**Please do not indicate an engraving unless you choose the "engraved" option at checkout.

The 4th pic shows the 4 types of wood available. Oak cannot be engraved due to its coarse grain.

Not just for bread... these versatile knives work great cutting fruits and vegetables as well as hard foods, meats, cheese, practically anything than you want to slice with perfect control and very little effort due to the thin blade and extremely sharp carbon steel blade.

The knife measures 16" long and the length of the usable blade measures 9 1/4" long. The distance between the blade and the handle (the slicing thickness) is 1 1/4". The complete width of the knife including handle is 2" wide. The wooden part of the knife measures 3/4" thick.

Each knife comes with a rawhide leather cord for hanging that can be easily removed if it gets in the way.

Each are made with your choice of 4 types of wood. Red Oak, Walnut, Cherry, Maple. All Local Native Repurposed wood here in Pennsylvania.
Red Oak is a gold to a reddish color with a very deep prominent grain showing. Because of the deep grain, red oak cannot be engraved to my satisfaction.
Cherry can be a reddish amber and prominent grain to a deep dark red with a less grain. Cherry will occasionally have a thin black mineral line within a specific grain. It does not indicate a crack or a weak spot, but likely the strongest part.
Walnut is a dark brown with a nice grain. Engraving on a dark brown will naturally not stand out like it does on a lighter wood.
Maple is a light cream to a light amber, usually subtle grain showing and occasional mineral line or light spalting that can appear dark .

To clean, wipe with a damp cloth and towel dry. Dry the blade also but be VERY careful!!.

My blades are made from stain resistant High Carbon Steel, which is far superior over Stainless Steel when it comes to blade sharpness retention and durability. It will last for years.

ENGRAVED PERSONALIZATION

Keep in mind for Engraving-WALNUT is a "darker" wood! Engraving will not stand like it does on the other types of wood.

ENGRAVED PERSONALIZATION PLEASE READ!!

IF YOU CHOOSE TO HAVE YOUR KNIFE PERSONALIZED!. The Engraving is done completely by hand and freehand with a Pyrography wood burning Pen and will Include One Initial of your choice. I will engrave it on the side of the knife facing up while slicing. If you want an initial on each side, or a different initial on the opposite side, that's not a problem at all. But please let me know. Please add in the message to seller box at checkout what initial you would like and make sure you check the appropriate box either RH personalized or LH personalized. The reason Red oak is not available for engraving is because the wood is very grainy making it almost impossible to hand engrave and have a nice finished product. Some Walnut is also very dark and may not 'pop' like it does on some of the lighter wood.
