Bread knife forged hybrid serrated 20 cm Signature 32 Dumas

Bread knife forged hybrid serrated 20 cm Signature — forged in Thiers

The bread knife with exclusive hybrid serration cuts through the hardest crusts without shredding the crumb, and is also ideal for sponge cakes, puff pastry and tarts. 20 cm blade.

It is part of the Signature range by 32 Dumas, the French cutlery house founded in 1932 in Thiers (the historic capital of French cutlery), today part of La Brigade de Buyer. The Signature range represents the house's top tier: 100% forged knives, where the blade, bolster and tang are born from a single steel billet, giving exceptional rigidity, balance and durability.

A high-performance forged blade

The blade is made from French 4116N stainless steel reinforced with nitrogen, hardened to 58-60 HRC. This hardness, high for a European knife, ensures an edge that stays sharp far longer and a precise, clean cut. Sharpening is done by hand, at a combined 25° angle, and has earned a «very good» rating from the independent CATRA institute, the world reference in measuring cutting power.

• 100% forged: blade, bolster and tang from a single piece of steel.
• 4116N nitrogen stainless steel, hardness 58-60 HRC.
• Hand-sharpened at 25°, CATRA certified.
• Faceted bolster and concave guard; 4 mm stainless steel rivets.
• Made in France (Thiers). Suitable for professional and domestic use.

Handle to choose: green oak or Micarta

This knife is available with two handle materials, both with a modern oblique-tip design and a high-quality finish:

• European green oak: stabilised noble wood, warm to the touch and with a natural grain unique to each piece.
• Micarta: layers of linen compressed with resin and mirror-polished; a technical material extraordinarily resistant to moisture and intensive use.

Choose your finish from the variants drop-down. The knife comes in premium packaging, fully recyclable, that reflects the quality of the product and makes it an ideal gift for cooks and cooking lovers.

Care

To preserve the edge and the wooden handles, we recommend washing by hand with warm water and drying immediately. Not dishwasher safe. Always cut on wooden or polyethylene boards, never on hard surfaces (glass, marble or ceramic).
