Opinel Intempora Bread Knife

Opinel Intempora Bread Knife

8-inch full-tang bread knife with a curved serrated 12C27 Sandvik stainless steel blade

The Opinel Intempora Bread Knife uses an 8-inch curved serrated blade to cut through crusty loaves, baguettes, sandwich bread, and other baked goods without requiring heavy downward pressure. Modified 12C27 Sandvik stainless steel gives the blade strong cutting performance and corrosion resistance, while the full tang and fiberglass-reinforced polymer handle provide the balance and durability expected from the Intempora collection.

A Curved Serration for Bread

The 21 cm blade combines a serrated edge with a gentle curve that supports a natural sawing motion through hard crusts and soft interiors. The length gives you enough cutting surface for baguettes, boules, sandwich loaves, and other breads without requiring excessive pressure that can compress the crumb.

The broad handle and balanced full-tang construction give you control through longer cuts, particularly when working across larger round loaves.

Intempora Construction for a Dedicated Bread Knife

The Intempora Bread Knife uses the same full-tang construction and reinforced polymer handle found across Opinel's larger Intempora kitchen knives. The difference is the curved serrated blade, which is purpose-built for cutting foods with firm exteriors and softer interiors without crushing them.

From Our Founder

"A bread knife needs enough length to stay in the cut and serrations that work without making you press down on the loaf. The curved blade on the Intempora does that well, and the full tang gives it more balance than a lightweight bread knife."

Tony Boulton, Founder, Design & Grace
