New Kuhn Rikon Baguette Knife Colori: A Must-Have for Bread Lovers

Combining a slice of whimsy with new practicality, the new Kuhn Rikon Baguette Knife Colori® is designed to make a clean and easy cut through crusty baguettes and other French breads.

This attractive wheat colored knife has a shape reminiscent of a loaf of French bread. Featuring a gently scalloped edge and a long handle for maximum maneuverability, this baguette knife is perfect for creating small bites or big sandwiches, without crushing or tearing the bread.

The 10.25-inch blade is made of high-quality Japanese carbon steel, with convenient nonstick coating. The heavy-duty serrated edge is ideal for everything from preparing croutons to slicing Panini sandwiches, bruschetta, pizza, and even tomatoes.

“Our new products team has tested numerous blade alternatives, and we now have eight different types of serration in our line, each with a different cutting profile. The scalloped edge on our Baguette Knife Colori is specialized for crusty bread, giving consumers a reason to buy a new knife,” said Chelsea Schlunt, Managing Director of Kuhn Rikon USA.

So easy and fun to use, the knife may even inspire some truly delicious desserts such as bread pudding or chocolate bread, made with a lengthwise cut of the baguette, topped with pieces of semisweet chocolate, toasted and drizzled with extra virgin olive oil and a little sea salt.

The knife comes equipped with a matching brown safety sheath for easy storage and transport. Like all knives in the award-winning Kuhn Rikon Colori line, it is dishwasher safe.

The Kuhn Rikon Baguette Knife Colori® has a suggested retail price of $30. It is available for immediate shipment.
