Product Description: This 8-in. offset bread knife is from the Henckels Twin Signature line. With an offset bread knife, you gain more leverage as you slice through crusty loaves of bread. The Twin Signature bread knife features a hand-honed, laser-sharpened blade that incorporates Henckels signature FRIODUR high-carbon, ice-hardened process. The ergonomic handle has a traditional three-rivet construction encompassing a full tang for high durability.
Amazon.com Review: The handles on Twin Signature cutlery feature the traditional three rivets and visible full tang, and are stylishly curved not only to feel good but look more contemporary. And, for a spot of color, the red Zwilling logo is permanently embedded in one side. Like all premium knives from Zwillings J.A. Henckels, the upscale partner of Henckels International, the Twin Signature blades are Friodur ice-hardened, made from high-carbon, no-stain steel, and are laser-sharpened for a durable edge. Stamped rather than forged, the knives do not feature bolsters, which makes them lighter than most.
This eight-inch serrated bread knife is designed with an offset handle that allows it more leverage and height for cutting through the thickest, crustiest loaves of bread. Made in Germany and covered by a lifetime warranty, this knife makes an excellent gift for a baker or bread lover. Like all fine knives, this one should be washed and dried by hand immediately after each use. --Ann Bieri

It's fairly heavy compared to the one it replaced and works much faster and accurately even on very thin slices without leaving crumbs dispersed in a 5 foot radius. It may seem like a lot of money for a knife that does one thing (cut bread) but keep in mind that if you always hand wash it then dry it and don't cut tin cans with it, it will ... Read More
Rating: - Henckel Twin Signature 8" Offset Bread Knife
This is an offset bread knife which is exactly what I wanted. It's a very good knife. It cuts even the crustiest of breads, but for me, personally, with arthritic hands, the offset just isn't as deep as I would have liked. But I didn't know I would need a deeper offset when I bought it. So, for anyone else I give this knife 5 stars-it is perfect in balance and weight and length.
