Wüsthof Classic 9-inch Double-Serrated Bread Knife

A crusty sourdough loaf tests a bread knife, and the Wüsthof Classic 9-inch double-serrated bread knife is designed for it. Each large serration carries smaller teeth within it, so the edge grips a hard, blistered crust on the first stroke and then saws through the soft crumb without tearing or compressing it.

Near the point, Wüsthof leaves a short unserrated stretch that eases the knife into a very hard crust. With 9 inches of length, the blade slices a wide boule in long, even strokes, and it handles ciabatta and a layer cake with equal ease.

Customers ask us whether a double-serrated edge is worth it over a standard serrated bread knife. For crusty artisan breads, the finer secondary teeth make cleaner slices with fewer crumbs; for soft sandwich loaves, either works. For a shorter knife, see the Classic 8-inch bread knife. The Classic Ikon 9-inch double-serrated bread knife pairs this edge with the contoured Classic Ikon grip. Our kitchen knife shapes guide covers the bread knife.

    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.
