Description
The Messermeister Carbon Bread Knife features a scalloped edge with a gentle camber, ideal for biting into the crust of bread, allowing a smooth slicing action without exerting pressure that can compress the slice. It’s also used to slice through soft-skinned fruits and vegetables. Serious cooks demand carbon steel for serious sharpness. Much harder and tougher than stainless alloys, our Exclusive Messermeister Carbon Knives hold an edge longer and can be easily restored. Messermeister refined the surface of the carbon blades with a ceramic stonewash finish to improve stain resistance and a smoother cutting experience. Each blade shape is precision ground with unique geometry to enhance its intended use. The high-handle position maximizes comfort with a ramped bolster and integrated control surfaces that guide the users hand to the perfect mounting position. The beautiful handle material is made from ultra-tough Spanish hardwood shavings, stabilized with non-phenolic natural resins.
Carbon knives are sharp, but not fragile and much tougher than stainless steel. It holds a fine edge up to twice as long and can be easily restored. Serious cooks rely on carbon steel for blades that always perform at their best. To keep carbon steel knives looking great, simply hand-wash and dry thoroughly, avoid using the dishwasher. Clean immediately, especially after cutting salty or acidic foods like tomatoes and citrus. Regularly apply a light coat of mineral oil or cooking oil using a paper towel. Over time, carbon steel forms a protective patina that is usually charcoal-colored. However, if exposed to oxygen and moisture, it can develop damaging red rust.
