Details

Designed specifically for bread and created in collaboration with Master Knifemaker Jordan LaMothe, the Brod & Taylor Bread Knife is purpose-built for the final step. Hand-finished serrations cut cleanly through thick, crispy crust all the way to the bottom without tearing the crumb, while balanced weight keeps every slice even — so the bread you worked hard to make gets the finish it deserves.

Designed for bread
Every detail is created around the way bread behaves, not adapted from a general-purpose kitchen knife

Cuts cleanly through crust

Balanced for even, uniform slices
Thoughtful weight does the work, so each pass stays steady and every slice comes out even

Stabilized maple wood handle
Each handle is unique, crafted from water-resistant maple chosen for durability, comfort, and character that develops over years of use

Slicing a loaf of bread with a Brod & Taylor Bread Knife.

Made for bread. Nothing else. 

A bread knife designed from the ground up to make every cut through your loaf cleaner, smoother, and more precise.

Jordan LaMothe,  Master Knifemaker.

Brød & Taylor partnered with longtime friend and master knifemaker Jordan LaMothe to design a knife purpose-built for bread. From blade geometry to balance, every decision was made with the loaf in mind.

Every cut starts with the design. Blade geometry, serration placement, curvature, balance—nothing was accidental. The result is a knife engineered around the way bread is actually cut.

FAQs
How was the Bread Knife developed?
The Bread Knife was designed in collaboration with master knifemaker Jordan LaMothe, who brought his expertise to the blade geometry, serration pattern, balance, and handle. Each knife is manufactured by Brod and Taylor to the exact same specifications and bears his LaMothe Design mark as a signature of the craft behind it.
What are the dimensions?
The Bread Knife measures 15 inches overall with a 10-inch blade.
How do I care for the knife?
Hand wash only with warm soapy water and dry immediately. Do not put in the dishwasher. The stabilized maple handle is water-resistant, but prolonged soaking should be avoided to preserve its character over time.
