For the design of its exceptional bread knife, Poilâne® joined forces with cutlery specialist Déglon. The 88-year-old bakery and the cutlery specialist founded in 1921 share a similar approach based on perpetuating and passing down precious savoir faire from one generation to the next. Today it is Thierry Déglon who continues to carry on and develop his family’s qualitative, innovative approach to cutlery design, an approach that has been appreciated by connoisseurs for nearly a century.

Serrated knives are designed to cut food that is harder on the outside and softer on the inside. Our bread knife at Poilâne® is perfect for cutting bread, of course, but also for slicing quick breads, apple tarts, flan and apple turnovers! It will also glide nicely through pizza or hard-to-cut vegetables like tomatoes. Using a serrated knife allows you to apply less pressure on your food: back-and-forth movements allow the serrations to bite into whatever you are cutting and slice neatly through. This adherence is essential, especially when cutting the breads and pastries you purchase at Poilâne®!
