Bread knife Böker Forge Wood 22 cm — serrated blade, wooden handle

The Böker Forge Wood Bread Knife 22 cm is a serrated kitchen knife designed for precise slicing of bread and baked goods. The 22 cm serrated blade cuts through crusty loaves and soft interiors with minimal compression, while the wooden handle offers a comfortable grip and control during repeated use. This knife is suitable for domestic kitchens and professional food-preparation environments where consistent, clean slices are required.

Advantages

The serrated blade geometry preserves crumb structure and reduces tearing when slicing bread. The 22 cm cutting edge provides ample length for single-pass slices of most loaves. The wooden handle combines tactile grip and ergonomic shaping to support stable control and safe handling. The knife’s construction balances blade length and handle design to improve cutting accuracy and reduce user fatigue during routine kitchen tasks.

Suitable for

• Slicing crusty artisan loaves
• Cutting soft sandwich and brioche breads
• Portioning baguettes and ciabatta
• Preparing pastries and cakes with delicate crumbs

Key specifications

• Serrated blade length: 22 cm
• Blade type: serrated edge for sawing action
• Handle material: wood for tactile grip

How to use

Hold the handle firmly with one hand and steady the loaf with the other. Use a gentle sawing motion along the full 22 cm cutting edge to slice through crust and crumb without applying excessive downward pressure. For uniform slices, move the knife in smooth back-and-forth strokes while allowing the serrations to do the cutting. After use, hand-wash and dry the knife promptly to protect the wooden handle and preserve blade condition.

Usage recommendations

To extend the service life of the wooden handle and the serrated edge, avoid soaking the knife in water or placing it in a dishwasher. Regularly clean and dry the blade after each use, and store the knife in a protective sheath or a knife block to maintain the edge and prevent damage.
