The Zwilling J.A. Henckels Professional S 8-Inch Bread Knife provides a professional style knife to help complete the ultimate kitchen knife set. Manufactured in Solingen, Germany, this knife features a special formula high carbon stainless steel construction for a long lasting and durable product. The patented SIGMAFORGE® process forges the knife from a single piece of steel while the FRIODUR® ice-hardening process ensures the blade stays sharp. The precision honed and laser controlled edge ensures ideal cutting angles for top performance while the ergonomic polymer handle offers a comfortable grip with good balance and the classic three rivet appearance. Professional "S" are the classic professional kitchen knife for home or restaurant use. The knives are made from a proprietary German steel that has been perfected for more than 280 years and are hand finished by the most skilled artisans. The laser controlled edge is incredibly sharp as the ice-hardening technique creates a sharper blade that won't chip or stain. With an exceptional 57 Rockwell Hardness for superior edge retention and an edge angle of 15°, each Professional "S" knife is extremely sturdy, balanced, and flexible for top performance and smooth control. Bread Knives commonly feature sections of grooves - or serrations - in order to slice through the crustiest of breads. A good bread knife will be able to cut soft bread without crushing it while the serrations allow a proper sawing motion to create a clean cut. Ranging in sizes from 6-inches to 10-inches, a good bread knife can open up all kinds of culinary opportunities - a must have for every cook's knife collection.
