FAQ

Can I sharpen a serrated bread knife?

Yes. Serrated knives hold their bite longer than straight edges, but when needed, a tapered sharpening rod can refresh individual serrations. Occasional professional service restores like‑new performance.

 

Is it only for bread?

No — the Awabi’s serrated edge excels on crusty loaves and baguettes, but also on delicate pastries, layered cakes, tomatoes, and citrus where straight blades crush or slip.

 

What’s special about VG10 Damascus?

VG10 combines high hardness (+60–62 HRC) with corrosion resistance. Layered with 67‑layer Damascus cladding, it delivers durability, edge life, and a distinctive pattern.

 

Is the abalone shell handle durable?

Yes. The abalone shell resin is tough, water‑resistant, and paired with a stainless bolster and full composite tang for balance and longevity.

 

The Awabi 8" Serrated Bread Knife brings together a VG10 core, Damascus artistry, and an ergonomic abalone shell resin handle to deliver clean, even slices of bread, cakes, and produce—every time.
