Lamson 7" Premier Forged Offset Serrated Bread Knife Review
Introduction
Lamson 7" Premier Forged Offset Serrated Bread Knife is engineered to solve a very specific kitchen frustration, the crushed, torn loaf that comes from using the wrong blade on fresh bread. Finished in Midnight and forged from premium high carbon steel, this knife carries the legacy of Lamson, an American cutlery company that has called Massachusetts home since 1837.
Anyone who has pulled a fresh loaf from the oven and watched it collapse under a dull, straight edged knife knows the disappointment well. Lamson built this offset serrated blade specifically to prevent that moment, applying nearly two centuries of American forging experience to a task most people never think twice about until it goes wrong.
A Company Built on Getting the Details Right
Lamson has spent close to 200 years in Massachusetts refining exactly this kind of detail, the difference between a knife that merely cuts and one that cuts correctly for its specific purpose. That commitment to purpose built design is part of why Lamson's work has earned a place in the Smithsonian Institution, recognized not just as tools but as genuine American craftsmanship.

Key Features
Offset Handle Design
The offset handle raises the grip above the blade line, keeping knuckles clear of the cutting board while slicing through thick, crusty loaves, a small design detail that makes a real difference during daily use.
Forged Serrated Blade
Rather than being stamped from a flat sheet, this blade is forged, giving it real weight and structural integrity, while the serrated edge is specifically designed to slice smoothly through crust without crushing the crumb.
Ice Hardened to 58 Rockwell
This hardness level ensures the serrated teeth stay sharp far longer than typical bread knives, which tend to dull quickly and start tearing rather than slicing.
Triple Riveted Construction
The handle is triple riveted to the full tang blade, ensuring the knife stays balanced and secure through years of regular bread slicing.
