Product Information
Full details
The Dick Superior 26cm bread knife is designed for professional chefs and home bakers who require precision slicing for crusty loaves and delicate cakes. The primary benefit is its high-performance serrated blade, which cuts through crusts without squashing the soft interior, though it requires careful hand-washing to maintain its sharp edge over time.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Dick Superior bread knife remains in top condition, avoid cutting on glass, ceramic, or stone cutting boards, as these can prematurely dull the serrations. Always wash the knife by hand with warm, soapy water and dry it immediately with a soft cloth. Do not soak the knife, as prolonged moisture exposure can damage the handle material. Store it in a knife block or on a magnetic strip to keep the edge protected from contact with other metal utensils.
