The Lamson Signature Offset Bread Knife is designed for sandwiches, breads and pastries. The offset blade helps to keep your hands away from the cutting board and allows more pressure to be applied to hard and thicker foods. Each Lamson Signature knife is precision forged resulting in a harder, sharper blade that is corrosion resistant. The curved and recessed bolster provides a seamless transition from handle to blade and supports your thumb for better balance and safety. The triple riveted resin-infused pakkawood handle with nickel silver rivets provide a comfortable grip. Descendants from founding craftsman still hand assemble and finish each knife, including the final edging process individually ensuring that the blade's edge is at the optimal cutting angle for maximum sharpness.
