Back in January 2024, Michael Taylor, founder of Brød & Taylor, and I embarked on a project to create a bread knife that we both felt didn't yet exist: one optimized for the needs of serious bakers and bread connoisseurs. After an extended period of testing and iterating, we finally arrived at the design that we both were looking for, and here it is.
Each of these limited-edition bread knives is 100% handmade by me, Jordan LaMothe, in my workshop in upstate NY. They feature convex-ground MagnaCut stainless steel blades, stabilized Afzelia Xylay handles, stainless steel spacers, and black Richlite bolsters. Each knife comes with a leather sheath to protect the edge in the drawer or while traveling.
A mass-market version of this design is available on the Brød & Taylor website.
There are only 24 pieces available in this inaugural limited-edition run. Each one is marked with "Jordan LaMothe" on one side, "Brød & Taylor" on the other, and a serial number between 001 and 024.
Measurements:
Blade length: 10.25 in. (260mm)
Overall length: 15.5 in. (393mm)
Heel height: 2 in. (50mm)
Weight: 6 oz. (171g)
If you're interested in learning more about the design process, I wrote a blog post about it.
