A good loaf deserves a good knife.

Meet the Bannerman's Premium Bread Knife — created for people who appreciate good bread and want the right tool to enjoy it.

With a generous 10-inch (25.4 cm) serrated cutting blade, this knife is designed to make long, clean and controlled cuts through crusty sourdough and artisan loaves, while helping preserve the soft crumb inside.

Made with German 1.4116 stainless steel, the blade combines durability and everyday performance with the distinctive look of a traditional premium kitchen knife.

A beautifully finished redwood handle, paired with a stainless steel bolster and three stainless steel rivets, gives the knife its distinctive traditional kitchen-knife character.

And because we believe presentation matters too, every Bannerman's Premium Bread Knife comes beautifully presented in our custom Bannerman's presentation box, complete with a dedicated Knife Care Guide.

Designed for crusty artisan bread

The generous 10-inch blade gives you plenty of length to make long, confident cuts through larger loaves.

The substantial serrated edge is designed to grip crisp crusts and work cleanly through:

• Sourdough
• Country loaves
• Focaccia
• Brioche
• Sandwich bread
• Cakes
• Tomatoes
• Other foods where a serrated blade comes into its own

Whether you're slicing your morning sourdough or preparing a loaf for the dinner table, this is the knife you'll reach for again and again.

German 1.4116 Stainless Steel

The blade is crafted from German 1.4116 stainless steel, a well-established cutlery steel chosen for its balance of durability, corrosion resistance and practical everyday performance.

It's a knife designed to work in a real kitchen — not sit in a drawer.

Beautifully presented

Every Bannerman's Premium Bread Knife comes in a custom Bannerman's presentation box, with a protective red insert designed to hold the knife securely.

Inside you'll receive:

1 × Bannerman's Premium Bread Knife

1 × Bannerman's Knife Care Guide

Each knife is carefully presented and sealed in its Bannerman's box before leaving us.

Beautiful enough to give.

Practical enough to use every day.

Looking after your Bannerman's knife

A good knife deserves a little care.

Cleaning

Hand wash only.
Use warm water and a mild detergent.

Dry immediately after washing.
Don't leave the knife wet.

Never leave soaking in water.

Storage

Store your knife safely in its presentation box when not in use, or use a suitable blade guard or knife block.

Avoid storing loose in a drawer.

Maintaining performance

Designed specifically for crusty artisan breads.

Avoid cutting frozen foods or bones.

Keep the serrated blade away from hard surfaces.

Serrated blades require infrequent sharpening. When sharpening is eventually required, professional sharpening is recommended.

From our bakery to your kitchen

As a small artisan bakery in South Otago, every product we create reflects our passion for quality craftsmanship, exceptional bread, and savouring every last bite.

We spend our days thinking about flour, fermentation, crust, crumb and the simple pleasure of slicing into a freshly baked loaf.

So when we decided to create a bread knife, we didn't want to simply put our name on another kitchen knife.

We wanted something we'd be happy to use ourselves.

Something practical.

Something beautiful.

Something worthy of a good loaf.

A good loaf deserves a good knife.
