Messermeister - Meridian Elite Offset Scalloped Bread Knife - 8"

With the Meridian Elite 8” Offset Scalloped Bread Knife, tearing bread is a thing of the past. Its offset handle gives you leverage and safety, while the scalloped edge glides through crusty loaves, ciabatta, and artisan bakes without crushing. It’s equally brilliant on delicate cakes, fruits with thick skins, and stacked sandwiches. Crafted from high-carbon German steel and honed to a long-lasting edge, this knife adds professional ease to your everyday slicing. Breakfast, brunch, or banh mi—this one handles it all.

• The German 1.4116 stainless carbon alloy blade resists stains and corrosion, exhibits toughness and durability, holds its edge retention, and is easy to re-sharpen to a razor-like edge.
• This knife line is one-piece, hot-drop hammer forged, which produces the strongest blade from heel to tip. The blades are heat treated and cooled to achieve a Rockwell of 57-58.
• The three-step, 15° Elite edge is hand stropped on a cloth wheel, creating the sharpest possible cutting surface on an edged tool.
• The bolsterless heel simplifies all cutting, sharpening and honing tasks, making use of the entire blade from heel to tip.
• Handcrafted in the historic cutlery capital of Solingen, Germany.

Care:

Hand-wash stainless steel knives immediately after use with warm soapy water. Dry thoroughly with a towel right away to prevent water spots and corrosion — do not air dry. Never place them in the dishwasher, as high heat and detergents ruin the edge and handle. Store securely in a knife block, magnetic strip, or sheath

Maintenance: Use wooden or plastic cutting boards; avoid glass, granite, steel, and bamboo. Use a ceramic honing rod regularly to maintain the edge.
