32 Dumas Affil Bread Knife 26cm Riveted Handle

Based in Thiers, France, 32 Dumas is a brand with a vast expertise in the industry of kitchen knives. A clear proof of that are the professional knives from the Affil collection. These knives are highly appreciated by professional cooks thanks to their durability and ergonomic design. 

For example, the 32 Dumas Bread Knife 26cm is a tool of great quality that can be of great use for both professional and domestic cooks.  Indeed, this is an indispensable knife in every type of kitchen as it is ideal for cutting all types of bread without crushing them. The secret of its success is its serrated blade, which can penetrate the bread regardless of whether the crust is soft or hard.

The X50CrMoNV15 stainless steel of the blade is composed of the following elements:

     – X: stainless – resistant to corrosion

     – 50: 0.5% carbon content, which allows the blade to remain shapr for longer time

     – Cr: chromium that enhances the resistance to corrosion

     – Mo: molybdenum to improve the resistance to strokes

     – N: nitrogen to reinforce the steel’s strength

     – V: vanadium for better solidity

     – 15: 15% chromium content

This composition allows the blade to reach a hardness of 57/59 HRC in the Rockwell scale, which is a hardness level that makes this blade truly easy to sharpen, but taking into consideration its serrated edge, it is very likely that you won’t have to sharpen it again. If you do, make sure to find an appropriate sharpener for serrated blades.

Another important part designed to make this knife as easy and comfortable to use as possible is the handle. It is made of black POM with an ergonomic design. The handle is also fixed with 3 brass rivets that make the handle more solid and stable. To preserve the quality of the handle as well as the blade, we recommend you to always wash this knife by hand.
