As the name suggests, the bread knife is primarily used for bread. This bread knife has a blade length of approximately +- 280 mm and a total length of approximately +- 420 mm with the handle. All these knives are handmade by us in our workshop, and variations in size and color may occur. We strive to make them as similar to each other as possible, but each knife is unique! Weight: Approximately 160-170 grams. Height at the heel: approximately 45 mm.
The knife has a laminated blade, made from the Swedish classic steel Uddeholm 2140, also known as ARNE, and pure nickel. ARNE is an excellent steel that holds its edge well and becomes very sharp. It is extremely easy to sharpen and takes a very fine edge even at lower grit sizes. The hardness of the core steel is approximately 61-62 HRC.
The knife has a slight convex grind that helps significantly with food release and is nicely thin behind the edge, making the knife cut effortlessly. The edges are shaped on a belt grinder and have a fine hand finish before etching. ARNE is a high-carbon steel and is not stainless, so make sure to dry the blade after use.
You can choose from three different handle materials: ancient bog oak, Swedish elm root, and locally harvested curly birch.

Crafts from scratch
We manufacture our knives from the ground up in our forge, often with different types of steel and metals for specific appearance and properties. This process is called welling, where the materials are merged under high pressure. We usually use Swedish steel for its high quality and durability.
Razor blade edge
When the knife blade is infected, format and tempered, the grinding of the blade's grinding phases, which determines the geometry of the blade. Kitchen knives are ground thinner than hunting knives, which need stronger primary eggs. The grinding is performed by hand and is followed by final polish with stones, sandpaper and polishes. The blade is then sharpened by hand in Japanese bench stones for best sharpness.
