What to know before buying
Listing details to confirm
Blade thickness is stated as both 2 mm and 2.2 mm, and the blade material is described both as stainless steel and as high-carbon steel. The listing also identifies German 1.4116 steel in feature text, so the exact material and thickness are inconsistent rather than settled. It advises avoiding frozen foods, hand washing the wood handle, and wiping it dry before storage.
Who is it for?
A good fit for
- Home bakers slicing sourdough, baguettes, sandwich bread, bagels or cakes.
- Shoppers seeking a long serrated knife with a Pakkawood handle for recurring bread and pastry prep.
Less suited to
- Anyone specifically seeking a knife intended for frozen foods, which the listing says to avoid.
