Carbon steel in bread knives
Carbon steel is a type of steel that is made up of iron and carbon. It is a popular choice for making bread knives because it is sharp and durable. A bread knife made of carbon steel can be sharpened to a fine edge and is more resistant to corrosion than other types of steel.
Ergonomic handle on the bread knife
A good ergonomic handle on a bread knife is important, as it will reduce the strain on your arm and hand. That's why you can find a good ergonomic grip on our bread knives. It is also important that the handle is made of a material that is resistant to corrosion.
The best bread knife on the market today
At Qookware we only sell high quality knives, and of course our bread knives are no exception. We are very concerned about high quality, comfort and of course price. That is why we have chosen not to have the largest selection, but instead a selection with some of the best bread knives on the market.
Bread knives in 67 layers of high-quality carbon steel
Our bread knife is made of 67 layers of high quality carbon steel, which ensures that your next bread knife is not just another knife. This means that these have an incredibly high hardness of 62 HRC, which basically means that your new bread knife is more resistant to correction. Which in good old-fashioned Danish means that your knife keeps its sharpness for longer at a time than a normal bread knife would have. Normal bread knives from Europe usually have an HRC of between 50 and 55. Therefore, our bread knives with an HRC of 62 are somewhat above the normal knives.

What is the Damascus Method and HRC?
The Damascus methodis a type of knife making that originated in Japan. It involves combining different types of steel and then forging them into a knife. Examples include Damascus steel and stainless steel. This results in a knife with a sharp, durable blade that is also resistant to corrosion.
HRC, or the hardness of the steel, is another factor to consider when choosing a bread knife. The higher the HRC value, the harder the steel, and thus the stronger the blade.
An HRC value of 62 means that the steel is hard enough to hold a sharp edge, but also flexible enough to withstand daily use. A knife with an HRC of 62 and 67 layers of steel is particularly good because it maintains its sharpness, makes the blade more durable and also more resistant to corrosion.

How to wash your bread knife
A bread knife should be washed by hand with warm soapy water. Be sure to rinse them well and dry them thoroughly before storing. A bread knife should not be washed in the dishwasher as this can damage the blade.
Knives can be damaged in the dishwasher for several reasons. One reason is that the high temperatures in the dishwasher can warp or break the blade. Another reason is that the high water pressure can damage the knife's cutting edge. Finally, the detergent used in the dishwasher can damage the blade.
Therefore, wash your bread knife by hand to avoid damage.

How to use a bread knife correctly without ruining the bread.
A bread knife is easy to use, but there are a few things you need to be aware of:
- Always cut with a sawing motion rather than trying to cut through the bread in one go.
- Don't try to cut through the crust with the tip of your bread knife - use the serrated part of the blade instead.
- Start at the end of the bread and work your way towards the middle.
- Use a breadboard or cutting board to protect your countertops from scratches.
