Performance-driven blade material

Crafted from CTS-BD1N nitrogen-infused steel, the Shiro Hane 9" Bread Knife combines exceptional hardness with outstanding wear resistance. With a tested hardness of HRC 63, it stays sharper longer, resisting the kind of micro-dulling that tires even seasoned bakers after a busy weekend of bread-making.

Precision geometry for lasting sharpness

The knife features a Bevel (Angle Ratio) Double (5050) edge, a symmetric 50/50 bevel that delivers balanced cutting performance on both push and pull strokes. This geometry produces smooth, controlled slices and makes maintenance straightforward, so you spend less time sharpening and more time baking.

Ergonomic, hygienic handle

The White Corian handle pairs modern aesthetics with practical benefits: a clean, non-porous surface that’s easy to wipe down and sanitize between uses. The ergonomic shape provides comfortable control for extended bread-cutting sessions, helping you maintain steady, fatigue-free precision from crust to crumb.

Versatile use that goes beyond bread

While optimized for crusty artisan loaves—baguettes, sourdough, brioche—the 9" blade also excels at slicing tomatoes, zucchini, and other dense produce with minimal crushing. It’s a versatile workhorse for any kitchen that values clean, professional cuts.

Care you can trust

To preserve the steel’s performance, hand wash and dry promptly after use. Regular honing will keep the edge aligned and ready for the next bake, while periodic professional sharpening ensures the blade maintains its factory geometry for years to come. Avoid prolonged exposure to harsh dishwasher cycles to protect the handle and steel.
