The Nordic Kitchen bread knife is a truly high-quality knife from Eva Solo's Nordic Kitchen series. The design is well thought out. The handle is anatomically shaped and the bolster has a surface intended for resting the thumb on to give you a better grip. The end of the handle is made of steel and is meant to be used for crushing, for example, garlic cloves or nuts. The blade itself is made from really hard Damascus steel in 67 layers with maximum sharpness for smooth cutting. The knife is also beautiful with a fine grain pattern on the blade and a dark wooden handle.
