Description

CaterAce bread knife with a 200mm serrated blade.

Serrations saw through a firm crust without compressing the crumb underneath, which is what a plain edge does to fresh bread. Serrated edges cannot be steeled and are treated as a consumable.

Blade and Handle

• Blade: high-carbon rust-resistant stainless steel (SUS420J2), hardened to 52-54 Rockwell
• Handle: black polypropylene
• Dishwasher safe

Rockwell 52-54 is the usual range for a commercial kitchen knife: hard enough to hold an edge through a shift, soft enough to be steeled back rather than chipping. Dishwasher safe in this case means the handle and blade will survive it, though any edge lasts longer hand washed.
