Victorinox launches Damast Bread- and Pastry Knife

The Swiss Modern Bread- and Pastry Damast Limited Edition 2021 is made of the famous Damast steel integral to the brand’s history. Part of the Victorinox household knives ranges, this high-quality chef’s tool follows on from the success of the first Damast Limited Edition in 2020. It is limited to a symbolic number of 1884, the founding year of Victorinox.

A highly functional eye-catcher, this new tool represents ancient craftsmanship. Its blade is made from Damascus steel, produced in layers for incredible toughness. With its lively pattern called “Thor”, the Damast steel used for this knife cleverly combines corrosion resistance and superior strength. The knife’s precision edges enable effortless slicing and clean cuts.

This is truly the ultimate kitchen tool for tackling all kinds of baking. The Swiss Modern Bread- and Pastry Knife slices seamlessly through pies, focaccias, cakes and tarts. Furthermore, it can be used for easy handling of tough-skinned vegetables like artichokes. It is the perfect instrument for amateur and professional chefs alike.

Each knife is genuinely unique thanks to its handle made of European walnut wood, endowed with a rich grain and dark brown color. Unbelievably warm to the touch, the ergonomically formed handle gives mankind’s oldest and most important tool a contemporary and comfortable feel.

Damast steel has enjoyed a very popular role in the history of Victorinox. For many years, limited editions of the Swiss Army Knife have been produced using different kinds of this fine material, now employed for the second time in a Victorinox household knife.

Handcrafted in Switzerland, the Swiss Modern Collection is one of the brand’s innovative knife collections, consisting of a total of seven exclusive kitchen knives and a carving fork. Besides the wood collection, the kitchen tools are also available with synthetic handles.

The new Swiss Modern Bread- and Pastry Damast knife joins the collection as testimony to the brand’s longstanding expertise as one of the world’s leading knife manufacturers. It combines strength, elegance and high-performance functionality. Limited to 1,884 knives, each piece is engraved with the year and sequential numbering on the back of the handle and comes with a certificate in a valuable gift box.

​​​​​​​ The Swiss Modern Bread- and Pastry Damast Limited Edition 2021 can be purchased in specialty shops, in Victorinox stores and online. Victorinox guarantees all knives and tools to be of first-class stainless steel. Each item has a life-time guarantee against any defects in material and workmanship.
