## Long description

The Opinel Les Forges 1890 Bread Knife — Opinel model 002284 is a serrated kitchen knife engineered for precise slicing of bread and other baked goods. The blade design combines a long serrated edge with a comfortable handle profile to enable clean, consistent cuts through hard crusts and soft crumb. Intended for both domestic kitchens and professional environments, this bread knife focuses on controlled slicing without compressing the loaf.
Advantages
This Opinel bread knife features a serrated geometry that prevents tearing and crumbling while maintaining edge contact along the crust. The blade length and tooth pattern are optimized for slicing a wide range of bread sizes and textures. The handle provides a stable grip to improve control during long slicing motions, and the overall balance reduces wrist strain. Materials and construction are chosen to offer reliable performance for frequent use.
Suitable for
Slicing crusty artisan and sourdough loaves
Cutting soft sandwich and brioche breads without crushing
Portioning baguettes and long loaves
Use in home kitchens, small bakeries, cafés, and food-service settings
Key specifications
Blade type: serrated blade designed for bread slicing
Recommended use: bread and baked goods
Ergonomics: handle shaped for stable, two-handed or one-handed control
Performance: designed to slice through hard crusts while preserving crumb structure
How to use
Hold the knife with a comfortable, firm grip and position the loaf on a stable cutting surface. Start with a gentle sawing motion, letting the serrated edge do the cutting instead of forcing the blade down. Use the full length of the blade for an even slice, and adjust the angle and pressure according to crust thickness and loaf shape. Clean the blade after each use and dry thoroughly to maintain performance.
Usage recommendations
For best results, use a stable cutting board and allow very hot-baked loaves to cool slightly to avoid overly soft crumb collapse. Periodically inspect the serrations and replace the knife if the cutting performance declines; sharpening serrated blades requires specialized tools or professional service.
