• Full bolster – The full finger guard reliably protects your fingers during everyday cooking, and the balance makes work quick and precise.
• Full tang – The blade extends through the handle, providing reliable stability for the knife. It also acts as a counterweight, balancing the blade.
• Hand guard – The ergonomic knife handle fits well in the hand, and the curved end of the handle prevents slipping. The sturdy handle scales are secured with stainless steel rivets.
• Ribbed blade – During cutting, small air pockets form in the blade's recesses. The positive effect is that thin or soft foods are easier to remove from the blade during use and do not stick.
• Precision double-serrated edge – The bread knife with its unique double-serrated edge cuts hard crust as easily as soft bread or large fruit such as pumpkin. The difference compared with a conventional serrated edge is immediately noticeable.
