Use & Care
Use a gentle sawing motion and allow the serrated edge to cut through the crust without excessive downward pressure.
Cut on a wooden or knife-friendly plastic cutting board.
Avoid cutting on glass, marble, ceramic, stone, or metal surfaces.
Do not use the knife to cut bones, frozen food, or other excessively hard materials.
Hand washing is recommended to preserve the cutting edge and handle finish.
Wash individually with warm water, mild dish soap, and a soft sponge or cloth.
Although the knife's materials are suitable for dishwasher cleaning, hand washing provides better long-term care.
Avoid abrasive cleaners, steel wool, and harsh detergents.
Dry the blade and handle immediately after washing.
Keep the serrated edge clean and free from trapped food residue.
When sharpening becomes necessary, use equipment suitable for serrated knife edges or consult a qualified knife-sharpening service.
Do not use a conventional straight-edge pull-through sharpener on the serrations.
Avoid twisting, prying, or applying sideways force to the blade.
Store in a knife block, protective sheath, or other suitable knife storage system.
Keep the sharp blade away from children.
Tarrerias Bonjean Maestro 8" Bread Knife
Made in France with a forged 8-inch NITROX stainless steel blade, precision serrations, and a triple-riveted black handle
The Tarrerias Bonjean Maestro 8" Bread Knife cuts through crusty sourdough, baguettes, and soft sandwich loaves without crushing the bread beneath the blade. Forged in Thiers, France, its 20 cm serrated blade uses NITROX stainless steel for lasting cutting performance and corrosion resistance. Full-tang construction and a comfortable black handle give the knife the balance and control needed for clean, even slices, whether you're cutting a freshly baked loaf or preparing bread for sandwiches.
Why Order from Design & Grace
Authorized Tarrerias Bonjean retailer: Design & Grace is an authorized Tarrerias Bonjean retailer, providing genuine French-made cutlery backed by the full manufacturer warranty.

French cutlery heritage: Made in Thiers, France, by a family cutlery company with a manufacturing tradition dating to 1648.
Clean Slices Through Crust and Crumb
The Maestro Bread Knife is designed to handle the contrasting textures of a loaf. Its serrated edge grips and cuts through a firm crust, while the long blade moves through the softer interior with less pressure than a straight-edged knife would require. The result is more even slices with less compression of the crumb.
The 8-inch blade provides useful reach for larger artisan loaves, sourdough rounds, and baguettes. It is equally practical for softer breads, brioche, and cakes, where a gentle sawing motion helps preserve the shape of each slice.
The blade is precision-forged from NITROX stainless steel, developed by Tarrerias Bonjean in collaboration with ArcelorMittal. With 16% chromium for corrosion resistance and a hardness of approximately 55–56 HRC, the steel is selected for durability and dependable cutting performance.
The full tang extends through the handle for stability, while three rivets secure the black polyoxymethylene (POM) scales. The ergonomic shape feels substantial without being awkward, giving you control when guiding the serrated blade through a crusty loaf.

Full-tang construction: The forged blade extends through the handle, providing stability and balanced handling.
Triple-riveted POM handle: Durable black polymer scales resist moisture and provide a comfortable, secure grip.
Made in Thiers, France: Manufactured in the historic center of French knife-making by Tarrerias Bonjean.
Maestro collection styling: Coordinates with the collection's chef's knife, Santoku, paring knife, and steak/utility knife.
From Our Founder
"A bread knife needs to cut through a hard crust without flattening the soft bread underneath. That's what I like about the Maestro. The long serrated blade does the work without needing much pressure, and the forged construction gives it a reassuring feel in the hand. It's a practical addition to the Maestro collection, especially if you regularly buy or bake crusty bread."
