Intro

Bring a handsome finishing touch to your Shabbat table with this challah knife, its blue anodized handle cut through with open metalwork spelling the blessing over bread. The cutout lettering catches the light against the blue base, giving the handle depth and shine. Designed by Jerusalem artist Yair Emanuel, whose work has graced Jewish homes for over two decades.

Build and Use

Used to slice the challah at the start of the Shabbat and holiday meal, the knife pairs a stainless steel serrated blade with a blue anodized metal handle. The handle is cut in an openwork pattern that spells out the traditional blessing, giving it a light, decorative look. The knife measures 12.5 by 1.5 inches, with the serrated edge suited to slicing through a soft crust cleanly.

Gift Ideas

A handsome piece for the table, this knife makes a fitting wedding, engagement, or housewarming gift. It suits a bar or bat mitzvah or an anniversary equally well, or a gift for someone furnishing a Jewish home. The blue finish and metal cutout design give it a decorative appeal beyond the table too.

Care Instructions

Wipe the blade and handle clean with a soft, dry cloth after use. Avoid abrasive cleaners on the anodized handle so the blue finish and cutout detail stay sharp, and dry the blade fully to prevent spotting.
