This Bread knife combines function and artistry with a Japanese-themed blade style. Each XINZUO blade features three layers of steel.
These layers consist of two outer layers made of SuS410 Stainless Damascus Steel and a single inner core made of 10Cr15CoMoV Steel. This construction blends properties without compromise: clad corrosion resistance and toughness on the outside with keen cutting performance at the core.
The 10Cr15CoMoV core is heat-treated to 60–62 HRC on the Rockwell scale for excellent edge retention. In a serrated profile, that hardness helps the teeth stay sharp longer for effortless sawing action with minimal tearing.
The SuS410 Stainless Damascus cladding serves as an anti-corrosion shield and supports a beautiful stonewashed finish with a hammered look and a traditional hamon-style line—adding visual character without affecting the working edge.
The handle pairs a Black Buffalo Horn section with rich Red Wood, echoing the blade’s transition from bright edge to stonewashed pattern for a cohesive, premium look.
Shaped after traditional Japanese profiles, the ergonomic handle promotes long-term comfort and secure grip for safer, more precise handling.
In use, the 8-inch Bread knife shines on crusty loaves, soft sandwich bread, and delicate bakes like sponge or layer cakes. It also excels at neat slices of tomatoes, citrus with thick rinds, and produce with firm skins—delivering straight, feather-light cuts without crushing.
