Nambé Judaica 13-1/2-Inch Stainless-Steel Bread Knife
Elegant and contemporary, Nambé's Judaica line designed by Marilyn Davidson includes such ceremonial items as a menorah, mezuzah, Kiddush cup, Seder plate, and this bread knife, all made of brightly polished metal. Intended for the slicing of challah during the Sabbath, the 13-1/2-inch knife consists of a serrated stainless-steel blade and a perfectly smooth, double-flared handle that is irresistible to pick up. The overall effect is simple yet stunning beauty. A distinctive and practical gift, the knife comes in a Nambé box and is best cared for when washed by hand.Nambé was founded in 1951 in a village of the same name in scenic northern New Mexico. From the beginning, the company focused on hand-producing high-quality, functional metal items such as bowls and trays with great attention to timeless, modern design. Still made in the USA, Nambé's signature metal alloy is liquefied, poured into a hand-made sand cast, and the resulting piece repeatedly polished and smoothed by hand. Exceptional gifts for the most special of occasions, Nambé metal bowls and accessories are now joined by porcelain and crystal pieces, each flawlessly crafted. Nambé ware has won numerous design awards, has been shown in or recognized by nearly two dozen museums worldwide, and is part of the permanent collections of many, including the Museum of Modern Art in New York.--Ann Bieri
