The Guillaume Leonard Cuistot 20cm bread knife is ideal for cleanly slicing bread, brioche or Viennese pastries without crushing them. It has a serrated blade that efficiently cuts through hard crusts as well as soft crumbs, ensuring smooth, effortless cutting. Its sober design and comfortable grip make it an everyday essential. It comes in an elegant box, perfect for protection or as a gift.
A serrated blade for clean cutting
The blade of this bread knife measures 20cm and is made of German 1.4116 stainless steel. This is an alloy enriched with chromium and nitrogen, renowned for its corrosion resistance and long-term reliability.
With a hardness of around 56-58 HRC, this steel offers an efficient, long-lasting cutting edge. It is ideally suited to regular use, with no need for complex maintenance.
The blade's well-marked teeth ensure a clean entry into the crust, while preserving the integrity of the crumb. Whether it's a country loaf, a crusty baguette or a soft brioche, the cut remains controlled and clean.
A polished finish completes the picture, making the blade easy to clean. Theflat tip ensures clean, fluid insertion into food, and the Guillaume Leonard logo underlines its understated elegance.
A solid, comfortable handle
The Guillaume Leonard bread knife has a handle made from red sandalwood, a dense, durable wood appreciated for its resistance to humidity, soft touch and warm appearance.
It's cut in a Western shape, rounded at the palm, to ensure a comfortable, stable grip, even when cutting hard-crusted bread.
The stainless steel bolster reinforces the knife's balance, and three stainless steel rivets securely fasten the wooden plates to the tang.
This bread knife is uncompromisingly efficient, robust and simple.
