Zwilling Pro 8-inch Bread Knife

The Zwilling Pro 8-inch bread knife is a traditional country-style bread knife, with serrations ground on one side and a clipped tip. It is a simple, timeless design that makes quick work of crusty bread, tomatoes and melons.

Start the cut with the tip, let the scalloped serrations catch the crust and draw the blade back and forth with little downward pressure, so the crumb keeps its shape. Eight inches crosses sandwich loaves and most boules, and the Pro curved bolster gives a secure grip on the long strokes.

Keep the bread knife for bread and soft-skinned produce. Using it on bone or frozen food bends the teeth, and serrations are not touched up with a honing steel.

For wide artisan loaves, the Pro 9-inch Z15 bread knife has more length and Zwilling’s Z15 serration. For roasts, use the Pro 8-inch carving knife instead of a serrated blade.

Choosing a Zwilling Line

All three lines are forged in Germany from the same special formula steel and ice-hardened by Zwilling’s FRIODUR process.

Line	Bolster and edge	Handle	Who it suits
Zwilling Pro	Curved half bolster; sharpenable from heel to tip	Triple-riveted black polymer	Cooks who use a pinch grip and want the full edge available for cutting and sharpening
Zwilling Four Star	Pronounced bolster that guards the fingers	Molded polypropylene with no rivets or gaps	Kitchens that value a hygienic, gap-free handle and a traditional finger guard
Zwilling Spectrum	Curved bolster; 12.5-degree edge per side	Jute Micarta with a steel end cap	Cooks who want the most acute factory edge of the three lines

Keeping the Edge

Serrated edges are not honed. The points of the serrations carry the cut, so the knife stays functionally sharp for a long time; when it eventually dulls, have it sharpened on equipment made for serrations.

Care

Zwilling rates the knife dishwasher safe but recommends hand washing; wash with warm, soapy water and dry at once.
Cut on wood or soft composite boards rather than glass, stone or ceramic.
Store in a block, on a magnetic strip or in an edge guard, not loose in a drawer.
