Karaca Refika Bread Knife, 23mmx190mmx2mm, Brown

Q: What blade length is suitable for commercial sourdough loaves?

A: The 190mm blade length handles standard 800g–1.2kg round sourdough loaves in single passes. Larger 1.5kg+ loaves may require two cutting motions depending on loaf diameter.

Q: How many loaves can this knife slice before requiring sharpening?

A: High carbon steel maintains cutting performance through approximately 200–250 crusty loaves under normal bakery use. Actual resharpening intervals depend on crust hardness and cutting technique.

Q: Can this knife be used in continuous production shift work?

A: The blade construction supports full 8-hour bakery shifts with repeated slicing tasks. Hand wash between shifts preserves edge geometry and prevents handle deterioration from commercial dishwasher heat.

Q: Does the serrated edge require specialist sharpening equipment?

A: Serrated edges require tapered sharpening tools or professional knife services. Most bakeries send serrated knives for external sharpening every 3–6 months depending on production volume.

Q: What is the warranty coverage for commercial bakery use?

A: The 2-year warranty covers manufacturing defects and blade integrity failures under normal commercial bakery operations. Damage from improper sharpening, dishwasher use, or misuse is excluded.
