HENCKELS Statement 8-Inch Bread Knife with Serrated Stainless Steel Blade

HENCKELS Statement is an 8-inch (20.32 cm) bread knife designed to slice crusty loaves and tender breads with a serrated edge.

• Stainless steel, single-piece precision-stamped blade — provides a durable, lightweight alternative to forged knives.
• Full tang and curved, triple-rivet handle — support balance and maneuverability while cutting.
• Satin-finished, finely honed blade — delivers precise cutting and is designed to stay sharp longer.
• Dishwasher-safe or hand-washable blade — offers two cleanup options and resists stains and rust.
• German-engineered design informed by over 100 years of knife-making mastery — reflects HENCKELS’ heritage, dating to 1895.

Crusty bread can be difficult to cut cleanly without crushing its softer interior. This knife is made for neat slices at home, from sourdough and ciabatta to everyday loaves, and its serrated edge also handles a range of baked goods and produce.

What can I cut with the HENCKELS Statement bread knife?

The long, pointed serrations are designed to cut through hard bread crusts while making clean slices. Use the knife for bread ranging from brioche and pita to baguettes, as well as other kitchen tasks.

• Cut biscuits and cakes into portions.
• Slice large fruits and vegetables.
• Cut ciabatta into cubes or sourdough into slices.

What are the blade and handle made for?

The blade’s single-piece stamped construction keeps the knife lighter than forged knives while providing a durable cutting tool. Its full tang extends through the handle, and the curved, triple-rivet design is made for comfort and balance during use.

The stainless steel endcap gives the handle a finished look when the knife is displayed in a block. German engineering and more than 100 years of knife-making experience inform the design; HENCKELS International was created in 1895 by Zwilling J.A. Henckels.

• The blade has a satin finish and a finely honed edge.
• The handle uses three rivets and has a stainless steel endcap.
