Mercer Millennia 8-inch Offset Bread Knife

Mercer Millennia 8-inch Offset Bread Knife

An offset bread knife drops the blade below the handle, so the knuckles stay clear of the board as the knife cuts all the way through. The Millennia 8-inch Offset Bread Knife suits sandwiches, rolls and loaves sliced on the board, where a straight knife forces the hand up at the end of each cut.

The wavy edge starts cleanly on crusts and on tomato skins, and the stamped blade is light. The textured handle with finger guard gives a secure hold through repetitive slicing.

Choosing a Bread Knife

For large loaves, the Millennia 10-inch Wide Bread Knife has more reach. The Millennia 8-inch Scalloped Bread Knife is the straight version.

Care

Wash by hand after each use with warm water and a mild soap, then dry with a soft towel. Mercer advises against the dishwasher: heat can break down the handle, and caustic detergent can stain and pit the blade.
Do not leave the knife soaking. If chlorine or bleach touches the blade, rinse it off at once.
Avoid long contact with aluminum pans or a stainless steel sink, and do not leave the knife standing in condiments held in metal pans. Prolonged contact can cause pitting.
Do not run the serrated edge over a flat honing rod. Store the knife in a block, on a magnetic bar or in a knife guard.
