The Messermeister Oliva Elite 9" Bread Knife has a scalloped edge with a gentle camber. Serrations on this knife's scalloped edge produce smooth, clean and precise cuts whether you're slicing bread or soft-skinned fruits and vegetables. Slice through breads with fewer crumbs and minimal compression; cut perfectly thin slices of ripe summer tomatoes with no tearing.
