Mitra bread knife

Length 31 cm. Rare bread knife, which is listed as a French bread knife in the original lists. Mitra was designed by Gundorph Albertus, Georg Jensen's brother-in-law, in 1941. Silver was in short supply during World War II, so the cutlery was made of steel, as Georg Jensen's first item. There have been close to 100 different parts in the production of this cutlery. The handle of the cutlery is shaped like a Catholic bishop's hat, a miter, hence the name.
