In the Australian Kitchen, the bread knife or serrated knife, is a must.
The Croc is used at the start of the day to glide its way through a croissant, at lunch to slice a sourdough without pulling it apart, and at dinner to slice protein that has been roasted.
The Croc is a beast of a knife, based on the oldest and most vicious dinosaur that remains on planet earth.

*Please Note: Handles are made using Australian wood burl (roots) so each knife is unique. The images attached are for guiding purposes, so wood grain and resin will vary between individual knives (not the same as the one in the picture).
Description
The Croc (Serrated Bread Knife) Specifications
Blade Length: 230mm (9") | Over All Length: 370mm (14.5") | Blade Thickness: 2.5mm (0.1") | Weight: 255g (9 oz) | HRC: 60-62
1.4116 high carbon German steel construction with sandblast finish. The Croc is the only blade in our collection not made with VG-10. We chose this type of steel to better suit the serrated edge, being slightly softer in HRC to increase the durability of the serrations.
The high carbon content core ensures a razor-sharp cutting edge, clad with stainless steel for protection. Sandblasting the top section of the blade seemed fitting for an Australian knife. From the beaches in Bondi to the dunes on Birdsville, we stand on a sandy country. Practically, this creates a non-stick surface to help glide through vegetables without sticking.
Our wood handles are sourced from the length and breadth of Australia. We fossick for intriguing and symbolic woods for our handles, such as Gidgee from the Simpson Desert which we think pays great homage to the Australian 'Big Red' outback.
