Serrated bread knife in stainless steel
Bread Knife Classic 1891 (S) has a serrated 24.6 cm blade that effortlessly slices through everything from crusty baguettes to soft rolls. A well-balanced bread knife in stainless steel that delivers clean slices without crushing or tearing the bread.
Bread Knife Classic 1891 (S) features a classic design inspired by the first Morakniv, with a red-stained birch handle that sits comfortably in the hand. The 24.6 cm blade has a serrated edge, made from stainless steel.
The serrated edge makes it easy to slice through everything from rustic sourdough loaves to soft brioches with precision – without squashing or tearing the bread.
This well-balanced knife has a barrel-shaped handle for a comfortable grip and an integrated finger guard for safe handling. Stainless steel ferrules protect the wood from moisture and bacteria. The rounded spine and tip make it easy to scrape the board and reduce the risk of injury.
The 24.6 cm blade in Swedish stainless steel (10C28Mo2) has a recycling rate of over 80% and a hardness of 57 HRC. It is 2.5 mm thick with a serrated edge and an 18° sharpening angle per side (36° total).
All components are made in Sweden, and the knife is hand-assembled at Morakniv’s factory in Mora – the result of 135 years of knife-making tradition.

KNIFE MATERIAL
Avoid dishwashers as detergent, heat and prolonged moisture can damage the blade, edge and handle. Sharp knives can also damage the interior of the dishwasher, and there is a risk of cutting yourself when loading or unloading it.
Never leave the knife in water or in a sink, as moisture can cause the wood to swell and crack. Rinse the blade in warm water after use, clean the handle with a damp cloth and mild soap if needed, and always dry the knife immediately.
The handle is lacquered and has a sealed surface that prevents oil from penetrating the wood. If you apply oil, it will remain on the surface and may become sticky or rancid over time.
The blades in Morakniv’s kitchen knives are made from stainless steel. A more accurate term is corrosion resistant steel – it resists rust better than carbon steel but can still develop spots or corrosion if left dirty or wet. Therefore, keep the blade clean and dry after use.
Store your knife on a magnetic knife strip or in a knife stand. Do not store it in a knife block, as these are difficult to clean inside and can collect bacteria. The edge may also wear against the wood when inserting or removing the knife, and moisture can become trapped in the slot if the knife is not completely dry.
When transferring chopped ingredients from the cutting board, turn the knife over and use the spine. Scraping with the edge can bend the very thin outer part of the edge and make the knife dull more quickly.
Use a honing steel to realign the edge between sharpenings and sharpen the knife when needed.
