Yasuo Black Bread Knife, 22cm

The Yasuo black bread knife is made from premium quality Damascus steel. It has a sleek Pakkawood handle and ultra-thin core so it’s easy to resharpen when required. This serrated knife is a kitchen essential for carb lovers! Use it to slice bagels, scones and brioche buns for homemade burgers. The blade will glide through the sturdiest sourdough, delivering uniform slices without compressing the loaf. You can also use it to slice sponge cakes, tomatoes and thick-skinned vegetables like squash and celeriac.

The blade is made from a 69 layer damascus steel with a VG10 core, making it a durable knife that will hold its edge and is still easy enough to sharpen and maintain.

The handle is made from Pakkawood, commonly used in kitchen knives because of the hard wearing qualities it brings. It has a classic Japanese octagonal shaped handle that will fit comfortably in your hand for easy use.
