HORL Brotmesser Bread Knife with Oak Handle
German-made bread knife with Triple Pro Cut serrations, a resharpenable 12C27 steel blade, and solid oak handle
The HORL Brotmesser Bread Knife with Oak Handle is a German-made serrated knife designed around a problem most bread knives ignore: keeping the edge sharp over years of use. HORL's Triple Pro Cut combines ridges, serrations, and smooth plateaus to move through crust, crumb, and the base of a loaf, while the double-beveled Swedish 12C27 knife steel blade can be maintained with a HORL sharpener at the 15° setting. The solid oak handle is glued, sanded, and oiled by hand and matches HORL's oak sharpeners.

HORL Brotmesser Bread Knife with Oak Handle
Designed to Cut Cleanly and Stay Sharp
Triple Pro Cut uses three working profiles across the edge. The ridges open the crust, the serrations cut through the softer interior, and the smooth plateaus finish through the base without tearing or compressing the loaf.
HORL also designed the Brotmesser to be maintainable at home. The blade is ground on both sides and can be set against the 15° angle support of a compatible HORL sharpener, then refreshed with the honing disc on each side. That gives this serrated knife a practical long-term advantage over bread knives that become difficult to maintain once they lose their factory edge.
The Swedish 12C27 knife steel has a thick spine for stability and a slight forward balance that helps guide the blade through bread. The double bevel keeps cuts straight for both right- and left-handed use.
What stands out
Signature Features
Triple Pro Cut edge
Ridges, serrations, and smooth plateaus work across the different textures of crust, crumb, and the bottom of the loaf.
Resharpenable design
The cutting edge can be maintained with a compatible HORL sharpener using the 15° angle support and honing disc.
Swedish 12C27 knife steel
HORL uses a hard Swedish knife steel with a substantial spine for a stable, controlled cut.
Double bevel
The blade is ground on both sides for straight slicing whether you are right- or left-handed.
Hand-finished solid oak handle
HORL glues, sands, and oils the wood by hand, giving the handle its clean shape and natural grain.
Hidden tang
The blade extends into the handle without external rivets, preserving the Brotmesser's clean design.
Made in Germany
HORL manufactures the Brotmesser in Germany with its specialized serrated geometry and hand-finished solid wood handle.

From Our Founder
"Most serrated bread knives are difficult to maintain once the edge starts to fade. HORL has solved that in a very practical way. The Brotmesser cuts cleanly through a crusty loaf, but you can also refresh the edge with the same 15° HORL system you already use for your kitchen knives. The solid oak handle gives it the same considered feel as the matching sharpener."
Tony Boulton, Founder, Design & Grace

Use & Care
Hand wash the Brotmesser and dry it promptly after use; do not place it in the dishwasher.
Keep the solid oak handle from prolonged soaking.
For regular edge maintenance, place the blade on the 15° setting of a compatible HORL angle support and run the honing disc along each side of the cutting edge.
HORL recommends brief regular honing rather than grinding for routine maintenance.
Store the knife so the cutting edge is protected.
