The serrations catch the crust immediately, even with a firm sourdough
The acacia wood handle feels warm and secure in your hand
German stainless steel stays sharp for a long time, cut after cut
Developed with three-star chef Peter Goossens for home use
You know the moment: a beautiful loaf of bread, perfectly baked, with that crispy crust you can almost hear. And then you grab a knife that tears, squashes, and crushes instead of slicing. Gone is the beautiful moment. With the BK Bread Knife Peter Goossens Maestro 20 cm, that is a thing of the past. This is the knife that gives your bread the respect it deserves - slice after slice, without hassle.
Developed with a three-star chef, made for your kitchen
The Maestro collection is not just a range of knives. BK developed this line together with Peter Goossens, the three-star chef behind the legendary restaurant Hof van Cleve. That may sound fancy, but the result is very concrete: a knife that works in practice. In Goossens' professional kitchens, but just as well on your chopping board at home. Because his demand was simple - it has to be right. Every day, every loaf.
What makes this bread knife different
- Serrations that grip immediately - The serrated edge bites into even the hardest sourdough crust without you needing to apply force. No tearing, no squashing - just slicing.
- Top-quality German stainless steel - With a hardness of 52 HRC, the blade stays sharp for a long time. Slice after slice, day after day - this steel lasts.
- Acacia wood handle - Warm, sturdy, and just right in your hand. The wood provides a natural weight and a comfortable grip, even after you've just sliced.
- Perfect balance between blade and handle - The 20 cm blade and ergonomic acacia wood handle are matched for a smooth, controlled movement. Slicing feels effortless.
- Versatile use - Bread of course, but also tomatoes, sandwiches, soft cheese, or pastries with a crispy exterior. Wherever you need a serrated edge.
The blade: precision in every serration
The 20 cm blade is forged from high-quality German stainless steel with a hardness of 52 HRC and a cutting angle of 20 degrees. That sounds technical, but what you notice is this: the serrations grip the crust without slipping, the cutting motion flows smoothly through the soft crumb, and the result is a neat, even slice. No fraying, no fuss, no squashed bread. Just a beautiful slice, ready to serve.
German stainless steel is known for its durability and resistance to rust. This blade will last with you for the long term - provided you take good care of it (we'll get to that).
The handle: acacia wood that feels like home
Wood in the kitchen has something special. The handle made of acacia wood is not only beautiful - it is functionally thought out. The wood feels warm in your hand, absorbs vibrations, and gives the knife just that extra weight in the right place. The result: a balanced grip that effortlessly guides you through a whole loaf. Whether you are slicing a thin piece for your morning sandwich or cutting a whole country loaf into pieces for the table - the grip works with you, not against you.
Acacia wood also has character. Over time, it develops a beautiful patina that makes the knife increasingly personal. A knife that ages with you - that is quality you can see.
How to keep this knife in top condition
A good knife deserves good care, and it doesn't have to be complicated. Stick to these simple rules and this knife will last for years:
- Always hand wash - Not in the dishwasher. Hot water and aggressive cleaning agents damage both the steel and the wood. Just rinse under the tap, wipe dry - done.
- Dry immediately - Do not leave the knife wet or soak it in water. Dry it immediately after washing and store it away.
- Use a wooden chopping board - Glass, metal, or stone is lethal for the serrations. A wooden board protects the cutting edge and keeps the knife sharper for longer.
- Store it safely - In a knife block, on a magnetic strip, or in a protective sheath - anything is better than loose in a drawer with other kitchen utensils.
BK offers a 2-year warranty on this knife - a testament to confidence in the quality of the product.
💡 Tip from Cookinglife: Always slice bread with a light, back-and-forth sawing motion and without downward pressure. Let the knife do the work - that is exactly what the serrations are designed for. You will get a nicer slice and the knife will last longer.
