The Dalstrong Phantom Series 9” professional bread knife: Serrated on both sides to ensure the straightest, cleanest cuts. Wide loaves, hard crusts, thick crusts, soft breads, tall melons, juicy roasts, thick sausages and more, this saw-tooth specialist is designed for minimal crumb dispersion and maximum performance. The 9" long blade length enables thin, even cuts with a single stroke. If you find yourself slicing bread and other large items, this saw-toothed master belongs in your collection.

Featuring Japanese AUS-8 steel beautifully engraved with the Dalstrong name down the spine as well as the Japanese kanji for ‘phantom’ or ‘ghost’. Each blade is painstakingly hand sharpened using the traditional honbazuke method, bringing the edge to a razor sharp 13-15 degrees, ensuring swift, effortless cuts. Precision forged from a single piece of ice tempered steel, the blade features a narrower width for improved agility and maneuverability, with a traditional Japanese D-shaped black pakkawood handle designed to tuck perfectly in the palm of your hand. Near the bolster a distinct red spacer and carefully crafted mosaic of copper and brass ensures adds elegance and refinement. A hand-polished end cap creates counter balance, ensuring the nimble blade feels more like a ghostly extension of your body, than an ordinary kitchen tool. A premium-quality polymer Dalstrong saya (sheath) is included.
