We’ve sold Rory Conner’s outstanding cheese knives for years. For the last year, we’ve worked together to create a bread knife just for Zingerman’s. We’re excited to get our first shipment.

Rory makes his knives by hand in County Cork, Ireland. Without exception they’re handsome, sturdy, gift-worthy specimens. The bread knife is especially lovely. Rory’s knives are built to last a lifetime. It’s an heirloom-quality piece that a bread lover will cherish.

The handle is highly polished laminate, coated in resin, colored a beautiful fall leaf blend of brown and red. It’s held in place with sturdy stainless steel bolting. The slope nosed blade measures just over nine inches, long enough to be useful when you’re working on a three pound Farm Round.

The knife is packed in its own wooden box, making it a nice candidate for a bread lover's gift.
