Hocho Tadafusa 'European Style', bread slicer has both a serrated edge and sharp blade, this knife slices through soft or crusty bread with incredible ease.

This bread knife is unique in that it has a small serrated area at the tip for establishing the cut and the rest of the blade is un-serrated. Fantastic for soft or crusty bread and sashimi.

This range has heat treated semi-charcoaled chestnut wood handles for moisture and bacteria resistance.

A decade ago Tadafusa engaged a renowned female industrial designer, Fumie Shibata, to design a European style range for the western market. Hand-forged, this range is offered in triple-layered blades of rust-resistant SLD steel (HRC of 60) and clad with soft stainless steel. This range has heat-treated sem-charcoaled chestnut handles for moisture and bacteria resistance. This core steel offers a sharp blade which holds its edge protected from rust and more easily maintained by the outer layer of stainless steel.

CARE

Please note that carbon steel blades require a few extra steps to keep them working in tip top condition:
Always wash your knife by hand in warm soapy water and dry without delay.
Storage in a wooden knife block or magnetic rack is recommended.
It is a good idea wipe blade edge with Camellia oil regularly to protect it from oxidising.
Not following these steps will result in the oxidization of the inner layer of carbon steel. This can be removed by sharpening and coating with oil.
Never put your knife in the dishwasher or leave it wet for too long.
It is recommended to use a sharpening whetstone, not a steel to sharpen your knife. Steels re-align a blade but the most precise sharpening is done with a stone.
