The Mercer Culinary M23890 9" Bread Knife is a professional-grade tool engineered for consistent, precise slicing of a variety of bread textures. Part of the Millennia® series, this knife features a high-carbon Japanese steel blade with a serrated edge, delivering sharp, clean cuts that rival traditional serrated knives but with enhanced durability. Its offset design and sheep’s foot point tip ensure stability and control, especially during repetitive slicing tasks—critical for commercial kitchens with high-volume bread service. The black Santoprene®/polypropylene handle is designed with textured finger points and a protective guard, providing a non-slip grip that minimizes hand fatigue, even during extended use. This bread knife is perfect for professional chefs and restaurant kitchens that demand precision, durability, and ergonomic comfort. It’s not dishwasher-safe, so it’s best hand-washed to maintain its sharpness and handle integrity. Whether you're slicing artisanal sourdough, crusty baguettes, or delicate pastries, this knife delivers the performance commercial kitchens rely on.
