DICK 1905 Bread Knife/Utility Knife (Serrated) 12.5 Inch The DICK 1905 Bread Knife/Utility Knife (Serrated) 12.5 Inch stands as a cornerstone tool for any kitchen requiring reliable performance across diverse cutting applications. This extended-length serrated blade excels at slicing artisan breads, pastries, and delicate baked goods whilst remaining equally capable for utility tasks including tomatoes, citrus, and other items requiring controlled sawing action without crushing or tearing. Manufactured from premium XCrMoV15 chrome steel, the serrated edge maintains its cutting efficiency through extensive use, eliminating the frustration of dull blades that compress rather than cleanly cut. The dual-honed serration pattern ensures exceptional sharpness from first use, whilst the blade's geometry allows for straightforward maintenance when professional resharpening becomes necessary. At 12.5 inches, this knife provides the reach and leverage essential for handling large loaves and substantial produce, reducing the number of strokes required and improving both efficiency and safety in the kitchen. The handle exemplifies DICK's revolutionary 1905 design philosophy, featuring alternating steel rings and high-quality resistant plastic construction that creates an ergonomic, secure grip suitable for extended preparation work. A half bolster finger guard offers essential hand protection during repetitive cutting motions. Originally conceived during an era of radical design innovation, this series was thoughtfully revived in 2010 to serve contemporary culinary professionals who demand both functional excellence and distinctive aesthetic appeal. The F. DICK embossing completes the classically modern presentation of this exceptional utility blade.
