We partnered with the world’s best bakers to bring you the world’s best Bread Knife. Each rivet, serration and angle of this blade was designed with the inimitable Chef Nancy Silverton, a bread expert whose hands have shaped thousands of loaves.

All of our Knives are forged in Theirs, France—the knife capital of the world—by a 5th generation bladesmith and hardened with nitrogen. Instead of being cheaply welded together, each Knife is full tang and fully forged, meaning it’s crafted from a single rod of stainless steel that extends from tip to handle—resulting in sharper, perfectly balanced blades.

With a long, wide blade and 24 teeth-like serrations, the Bread Knife is sharp enough to slice through the softest loaves without crushing the crust. Discover Chef Silverton’s answer to the perfect Bread Knife.
