Knife Sharpening & Free Demos in Stores
  • Named Hikari after the Japanese word for "illumination," this masterfully crafted, lightweight knife is distinguished by its stunning birch PakkaWood handle & "hornet's nest" pattern. Extraordinarily sharp with a long-lasting edge, the blade has microserrations that reduce friction for clean, effortless slices that enhance the flavour of the food. This bread knife is cleverly designed with wide serrations on both the front & back to ensure the best cut on both the push & pull strokes of each cut, resulting in less crumbing & no crushing. For those who bake or buy whole loaves, this bread knife is sure to become an everyday favourite.

    • Shares the same award-winning construction as the Hikari chef's knife – winner the 2016 Kitchen Knife of the Year award.
    • Dual-core stainless-steel blades are clad on each side with 71 micro layers of high-carbon, high-chromium stainless-steel to create a "hornet's nest" pattern reminiscent of a Damascus-style blade.
    • Exceedingly sharp cutting edges, hand-sharpened to a 16-degree angle, are long-lasting & easy to maintain.
    • Polished bolster promotes a comfortable chef's grip.
    • Durable birch PakkaWood handle resists moisture & bacteria & has a beautiful low-gloss finish.
    • Embossed endcap adds beauty & balance.
