Effortless Slicing. 67-Layer Damascus Steel. Hand-Finished in Norfolk.

The 8" Bread knife is your answer to tough crusts and delicate interiors. Its serrated blade is the perfect length for slicing through artisan boules, bagels, and towering sandwiches without crushing the soft bread underneath. The Worstead range bridges the gap between premium Japanese aesthetics and rugged Western reliability. It is built for the home cook who wants a beautiful, high-performing tool that can still take a beating on a busy Tuesday night, letting you stop wrestling with blunt steel and simply enjoy cooking again.

The Steel: 67-Layer Damascus At its core is Japanese AUS-10 steel. This hard cutting core takes a razor-sharp edge and holds onto it through heavy daily use. It is wrapped in 67 layers of folded Damascus steel, which doesn't just look striking on a magnetic rack, the softer layers of cladding steel help the knife with improved stainless and shock absorbing qualities.

The Handle: Heavy-Duty G10 The Worstead handles have a classic, triple-riveted Western profile for uncompromising leverage and comfort. The handle is machined from G10, a dense resin laminate that simply does not care about hot water, acidic juices, or the general mess of a busy kitchen. It fills the palm naturally and locks in securely, preventing any blade twist when your hands are wet.

The Norvic Difference: Hand-Finished in Norfolk A premium bread knife needs an edge you can trust straight out of the box. That is why we finish this blade in-house. We refine the factory edge of each serration, hone, and polish it with 1-micron diamond suspension. This creates a serrated edge that bites instantly into hard crusts and glides effortlessly through soft interiors with zero tearing or crushing required.

Specifications:

  • Core Steel: Japanese AUS-10

  • Construction: 67-Layer Damascus

  • Handle: Ultra-Durable G10 (Western Profile)

  • The Edge: Hand-finished to 1 Micron (Mirror Polish)

Care Note: Hand wash only and dry immediately. Do not leave to soak or put in the dishwasher.
