Bread knife APS 88990 Stainless steel, 1 pc

The APS-Germany 88990 bread knife features a stainless steel serrated blade and a beech wood handle secured with triple rivets. Designed for slicing through crusty loaves and soft breads alike, the knife combines a long serrated edge with a comfortable wooden grip for controlled, even cuts.

Advantages

The stainless steel blade resists corrosion and maintains edge integrity for regular kitchen use. The serrated edge helps cut through crust without crushing the crumb, and the triple-riveted beech handle offers a sturdy, durable connection between blade and handle for safe handling.

Suitable for

• Slicing crusty artisan loaves
• Cutting soft sandwich and breakfast breads
• Portioning cakes with fragile textures
• Kitchen tasks requiring long, precise slicing motions

When it may not be suitable

This bread knife is designed specifically for slicing breads and similar baked goods; it is not intended for heavy chopping, boning, or tasks that require a straight-edge chef's knife. The wooden handle requires proper care and should not be left soaking in water or cleaned in a dishwasher to avoid swelling or loosening of the rivets.

Key specifications

• Blade material: stainless steel
• Handle material: beech wood
• Construction: triple-riveted handle
• Included pieces: 1 knife
• Overall length: approximately 340 mm (as indicated by product listing)

How to use

Hold the knife by the beech handle with a secure grip and use a gentle sawing motion along the length of the loaf to slice evenly without compressing the crumb. For best results let the serrated blade do the work — avoid forcing the knife straight down. After use, wipe the blade by hand with a damp cloth and dry immediately to maintain the stainless steel finish and the wooden handle.

What to consider before purchase

• Intended use: best suited for bread and baked goods, not for heavy-duty chopping
• Care: hand wash only and dry the wooden handle promptly
• Storage: store in a knife block or protective sheath to protect the serrated edge

Usage recommendations

For safe, long-lasting performance, sharpen or re-edge the serrations as needed using tools or services recommended for serrated blades, and avoid prolonged exposure of the beech handle to moisture.
