Bread knife METALTEX Heritage model, serrated blade length 330 mm, riveted Pakka wood handle

The METALTEX Heritage bread knife features a 330 mm serrated stainless-steel blade designed for clean, tear-free slicing of bread, rolls and pastries. The knife combines a long cutting edge with a robust riveted Pakka wood handle that provides a secure grip and durability for regular kitchen use. It is intended for domestic kitchens and light professional environments where controlled slicing and preserving crumb structure are important.

Advantages

The serrated stainless-steel blade maintains sharpness for extended periods and enables effortless cutting through crusts without crushing the interior. The 330 mm blade length gives enough reach for large loaves and long baguettes, while the Pakka wood handle is riveted to the full tang for improved balance and stability. The materials are selected to resist everyday wear and support consistent performance when slicing different types of baked goods.

Suitable for

• Cutting large loaves, sandwich bread and baguettes
• Slicing crusty artisan bread without tearing the crumb
• Preparing rolls, pastries and soft cakes that require gentle sawing
• Home kitchens and light catering or bakery tasks

When it may not be suitable

This bread knife is not designed for heavy butchery, bone cutting or chopping tasks; using it for those purposes may damage the blade or handle. It is also not intended for heavy industrial bakery production where specialized cutting machines are typically used.

Key specifications

How to use

Hold the knife by the Pakka wood handle with a comfortable, firm grip and use a gentle back-and-forth sawing motion along the length of the loaf. Let the serrated edge do the work; avoid pressing down hard which can compress the bread. For best results, cut on a stable cutting board and use the full length of the blade for long, even slices. After use, clean the blade by hand with warm water and mild detergent, dry thoroughly and store in a safe place to preserve the handle and edge.

What to consider before purchase

• Pakka wood handle requires occasional care to avoid prolonged moisture exposure
• Intended for slicing baked goods; not suitable for bones or heavy-duty cutting

Usage recommendations

For consistent, tear-free slices, use a steady sawing motion and avoid excessive downward pressure. Hand wash and dry the knife after each use to maintain the Pakka wood handle and stainless-steel blade. Store the knife in a knife block or protective sheath to protect the edge.
