The Senzo Black Damascus Bread Knife can be used for breads, pastries and cakes, and comes in handy when slicing larger fruits that have tough skin on the outside. Compared to the ordinary Damascus pattern, the Senzo Black Damascus collection features a deep and dark unique pattern on each side of the blade. The octagonal shaped handle is gently tapered from the end of the handle to the bolster. Pakkawood is more durable and water-resistant than natural wood. The white ring in between gives an accent in design.
