Classic 8" Bread Knife

Bought this as a gift- mine is almost 20 years old and one of the most useful knives I own. Comfortable grip, cuts easily through a heavy loaf of sourdough. Durable.

Best knife I’ve ever used for cutting fresh sour dough bread

A few months ago my wife and I bought a 3-knife set of Wusthof classic knifes and were really impressed by their performance. When we needed a new bread knife we decide to fork down the extra money and get a matching knife for our set. And we were blown away. First, the Wusthof quality and feel of this knife is great. It just feels right in your hand. I can't quire explain it in words, but I would say that it just 'feels right'. Additionally, the knifes we had before were cheap off-brand knives. For this knife, you barely have to slide it across the bread and it just cuts through. No real effort needed. Even for breads that are a little more elastic, it just goes through (like a knife through butter :P). The one negative I would give it is that it does not come with a sleeve for the knife, and that there is not really a matching sleeve for it. I bought this: Wusthof blade guard 8 carver and it fits relatively well (not a 100% fit since the bread knife has a slight curve to it). Either way, I am a huge Wusthof fan and would recommend this highly.

Of all the bread knives we ever had, we found this to be the best: Sturdy, absolutely up for the task, great for every day use. The 9 inch blade makes it a bit longer than the average knive, which is useful. The grip and balance are well adjusted. It weighs in solidly, which means, it is not heavy but not a flimsy light weight either. Because of the serrated blade, it can go into the dishwasher all the time without loosing its edge. A great knive. Wusthoff turns out to be superior to many other brands. An ideal kitchen tool. Absolutely worth the money.

We have had this brand of knives for a long time now. This bread knife is amazing! Cuts bread like butter. Just make sure you keep your fingers out of the way.

I love this knife. Handsome and very functional, although a bit pricey. Baguettes, Bagel sandwiches, and sourdough don't stand a chance.

This is to replace my old Wusthof bread knife. I learned my lesson. Do not put these in the dishwasher. The handle on my last one cracked. But the knives I hand washed are in great condition. If you hand wash your knives Wusthof has a lifetime guarantee on them.

It’s an expensive knife but it does cut well. Make sure that you don’t cut into the cutting board or it will dull it quite quick. Overall a good knife though. Feels good in the hand and large enough to cut good slices of bread.
