Wüsthof Classic 8-inch Bread Knife

Wüsthof gives its Classic 8-inch bread knife a concave, serrated edge, curving gently inward along its length. That shape keeps more of the serrations in contact with a round loaf as you saw, so the knife bites into the crust and moves through the crumb in smooth strokes.

A small blunt section at the tip helps start the cut on extra-crusty loaves and makes the knife less likely to snag a finger when you steady the bread. Eight inches covers sandwich loaves, baguettes and bagels, and the serrated edge also slices tomatoes and the cake layers for a birthday cake cleanly.

It is a good everyday bread knife for kitchens that bake a mix of soft and crusty loaves. For large boules and very hard crusts, the Classic 9-inch double-serrated bread knife has finer secondary teeth. The Ikon 8-inch bread knife is a similar length with an African blackwood handle. Our guide to knife shapes explains serrated blades.

    Care

    Wash by hand in warm, soapy water right after use and dry it immediately. Do not put the knife in the dishwasher or leave it soaking. Hone it regularly on a steel and sharpen it when honing no longer restores the edge. Cut on wood or plastic boards, never on glass, stone or metal.
