Bread Knife

This is a brilliant bread knife. It’s like a different thing to anything else that I’ve used (medium priced knives from various sources over the years) and is joy to use.

Very pleased with it. Cuts fresh bread really well and allows you to cut thin slices. Good grip and easy to use.

The best bread knife I have ever owned and will ever need to own.

Wusthof are generally excellent at producing a well balanced knife. This is a rare example where I tend to agree with other comments that the handle of this bread knife would benefit from being a size larger i.e. like the 8” chef knife. The bread knife is very sharp. Cuts into firm bread with ease. But a bread knife needs to cut straight and for this you need a good grip on the handle. The ergonomic Ikon Classic handle is smooth and the POM cheeks are not as grippy as the African Blackwood of the more expensive Ikon series. Hence, a slightly larger handle is likely to improve control on long slices in firm bread. Hence four stars.

Best bread knife for slicing crusty bread that has a a soft crumb.

Perfektes Messer! Hohe Qualität, schneidet sehr leicht. Bin sehr zufrieden.

J’achète désormais exclusivement du pain de seigle non tranché (pour optimiser sa conservation) et au bout de plusieurs jours il devient extrêmement difficile à couper alors j’ai cassé ma tirelire pour un outil de qualité, de grande qualité et cela se paye… mais on n’est pas déçu, ça tranche fort et net !

Este cuchillo panero, corta el pan finisimamente sin ningún esfuerzo, sus dientes están muy afilados

Expensive, but sharp and holds well in your hand. Had one for about 10-12 years. Lesson for longevity is to hand wash. We kept washing it in the dishwasher. Probably not recommended. BUT, even though we washed in the dishwasher over many years it did keep a good edge. We were not be putting the new one in the dishwasher. Did I say it was super sharp? Great for bread - cuts tomatoes like nothing else. Double ceration is incredible
