Non-serrated bread knife forged from reclaimed railroad steel
Master Shin's Anvil continues a five-generation legacy of Korean blacksmithing, producing tools that balance ancient tradition with modern utility. This non-serrated bread knife is hand-forged from repurposed railroad steel, rich in manganese for a razor-sharp edge that slices through crusty loaves without tearing. Paired with a shade-dried chestnut handle for perfect balance, it’s a kitchen heirloom designed to stay sharp for years of daily use.
