Michel Bras Bread Knife

Summary

World-renowned French chef Michel Bras believes cooking, like any art, requires the finest tools. Created in Japan in collaboration with Kai, the producer of Shun knives, this knife makes a beautifully clean cut through all textures of breads, leaving few traces of crumbs.

  • Uniquely shaped waves on the blade allow for the ideal push/pull cutting motion through all textures of breads.
  • Hand assembled to exacting specifications.
  • Matte-finish blade is composed of three stainless-steel layers: a hardened VG-10 core sandwiched between two layers of more flexible steel for increased durability and resistance.
  • Blade is coated in titanium to enhance its antioxidation properties.
  • Etched with a unique serial number and Bras's signature emblem of cistre, the delicate Alpine fennel that grows in the hills above his Aubrac restaurant.
  • For quick identification, the handle is inscribed with the knife item number (#9), signifying the blade's form and function.
  • Black PakkaWood handle is designed in the traditional Japanese chestnut shape, to sit comfortably in the hand.
  • Comes in a maple sheath with a magnetized interior that holds the blade snugly in place for safe drawer storage.

More Info

  • 11 1/4"-long blade.
  • 5"- long handle.
  • 8 oz.
  • Made in Japan.

Use & Care

Use

  • Always use caution when handling sharp objects.
  • Avoid cutting on hard surfaces such as stone, metal or glass.
  • It is not advisable to use any knife but a meat cleaver to cut through bone, as other blades can be easily damaged.

Care

  • Hand-wash with warm water and a mild detergent. Rinse and dry immediately.
  • Avoid cleaners containing bleach or citrus extracts.
  • Sharpen your knife at home using a sharpener designed for a serrated blade, or have it sharpened by a professional.
  • Store knife in a safe place to protect its edge and prevent injury.
