An efficient bread knife for perfect slices
The Zwilling Gourmet 20cm forged bread knife is designed to effortlessly cut all types of bread, from the hardest crusts to the softest crumb, as well as brioches and viennoiseries. Thanks to its long, serrated blade, it cuts cleanly without crushing the food, guaranteeing even, appetizing slices. Made in the Solingen workshops, it benefits from Zwilling's age-old know-how and the technical processes that have made its international reputation.
A long, high-performance serrated blade
This Zwilling bread knife features a 20cm straight serrated blade in Zwilling special formula stainless steel, an alloy enriched with chromium and carbon that offers excellent resistance to corrosion and wear. Its FRIODUR® heat treatment, obtained by cryogenic quenching, increases hardness to around 57 HRC, guaranteeing long-lasting edge retention while retaining a certain flexibility.
The V-edge ser ration ensures a smooth, precise cut, even on the thickest crusts, while preserving the crumb intact. The result is even slices, whether for crisp baguettes, farmhouse bread or soft brioches.
Ergonomic, durable handle
The 11.5cm handle is made of high-density black ABS. It's sturdy, lightweight, moisture-resistant and easy to clean. Its Western shape with curved heel offers a comfortable and secure grip, ideal for prolonged use.
The three stainless steel rivets securely attach the handle plates to the tang, ensuring perfect stability. This timeless design guarantees both aesthetic appeal and everyday reliability.
