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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eThe Steel: 67-Layer Damascus\u003c\/b\u003e 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eThe Handle: Heavy-Duty G10\u003c\/b\u003e 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eThe Norvic Difference: Hand-Finished in Norfolk\u003c\/b\u003e 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eSpecifications:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eCore Steel:\u003c\/b\u003e Japanese AUS-10\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eConstruction:\u003c\/b\u003e 67-Layer Damascus\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eHandle:\u003c\/b\u003e Ultra-Durable G10 (Western Profile)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eThe Edge:\u003c\/b\u003e Hand-finished to 1 Micron (Mirror Polish)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eCare Note:\u003c\/b\u003e Hand wash only and dry immediately.
