Care Instruction

Don't cut hard things! Japanese knives are brittle so bone hacking is a NO NO!
Wash with neutral detergent after use, and wipe dry;
Please don't wash knife with dishwasher, it will damage the wood handle;
Be careful not to leave the knife close to a heat source for a long time;
It is a lot more dangerous to cut with a blunt knife than a sharp knife!
It is best to sharpen a Japanese knife regularly on a waterstone.

Profile

Bread Knife

Bread knife is a common member from everyday household to professional bakery, the serrated edge means they maintain their cutting ability after sawing through kilos of sourdoughs and baguettes with thick crust - a task rather challenging for non-serrated knives. The long, narrow blades ensures maximum cutting length and minimum friction, and it's an essential piece of tool for those who consumes bread on a daily basis.

MV steel is commonly stamped on lower end and entry level Japanese blades but it doesn't refer to a specific chemical composition, but rather indicate that M and V are added to the steel. MV steels are usually fully stainless with a hardness not greater than 60 HRD due to lower carbon content.
