Bread is made to cut through all types of bread and slightly firmer foods as easy as possible. The reason for this is that we have made a narrow blade of sharp Damascus steel and the knife is equipped with serrations that give the knife good contact with the bread.

Damascus steel
Endeavour [en-de-var] means “to strive”. The professional chef’s knives in the Endeavour range are made of Damascus steel. The middle of the blade’s cutting edge, made of Japanese VG10 steel, is enveloped by 33 layers of beautifully forged steel on each side. This method of manufacturing gives the Endeavour knives their characteristic appearance and makes them extremely sharp and durable. The Damascus forging technique was widespread during the Samurai days of glory when the sword makers from Seki achieved a legendary reputation for their Damascus swords. Technically, the Japanese masters leaned on a forging tradition that is alleged to come from Damascus. Hence, the name Damascus steel.
* The hardness of steel is measured in the Rockwell-scale. It is measured by pressing a standardized diamond cone into the steel, to a certain depth. The acquired force used is used to calculate the value on the Rockwell-scale. The harder the steel — the higher the score on the scale.
Most knives register a hardness of 51-53 HRC.
