Blade Steel - F. Herder Bread Knives

Our bread knives are made from high-quality stainless steel, ensuring exceptional sharpness and durability. The precise grind allows effortless slicing without crushing bread or pastries. With optimal steel hardness, our knives are perfect for daily use and maintain their sharpness over time.

Handles - F. Herder Bread Knives

Our handles combine comfort and aesthetics. You can choose between two materials:
Solid Wood Handles: Sustainably crafted in our own workshop, offering a natural, warm feel – perfect for those who prefer a traditional look.
POLYPROPYLENE Handles: Hygienic, durable, and easy to clean – ideal for everyday use in a modern kitchen.

Care - F. Herder Bread Knives

Proper care will keep your bread knife in top shape for a long time. Wooden handles should not be placed in the dishwasher or left soaking in water to preserve the material. POLYPROPYLENE handles are dishwasher-safe, but we still recommend handwashing to maintain blade sharpness. Additionally, we suggest using our knife oil to care for both the blade and handle, extending the lifespan of your knife.
