Royale Elité combines a beautiful American Walnut Burl handle to a fine German stainless steel alloy blade. Walnut burl features a rich deep brown flared pattern and is prized for its hard, strong characteristic as a handle material. The blade is one-piece, hot-drop hammer forged from German stainless carbon alloy that has been hand crafted into a fine cutting instrument. This vintage style knife is one-of-a-kind and sure to become a treasured family heirloom.

The scalloped edge of the Messermeister Royale Elité 9” Bread Knife will bite into the crust of bread. It allows for smooth slicing without exerting pressure that can compress the slice. This knife is also used to slice through soft-skinned fruits and vegetables. This knife is not recommended for cutting proteins.
