Veark BK22 - Breadknife

The sandblasted finish on the blade gives it a nice grip when slicing through a crusty sourdough, and it glides through without tearing the soft inside. It's noticeably sturdier than my old knife, and the laser-cut edge has stayed sharp after a couple weeks of daily use.

I’ve had cheaper bread knives that crushed loaves instead of slicing, but this Solingen-made blade cuts through a crusty sourdough cleanly on the first pass. The laser-cut steel feels sturdy in hand and the sandblasted surface hasn’t shown a single smudge after a week of daily use.

The sandblasted finish on this one gives it a nice grip and a clean look that matches my other forged knives. It cuts through a fresh baguette without crushing the crust, which is exactly what I wanted from a Solingen blade.
