Comfortable to hold and razor-sharp, the 9-in. serrated Bread Knife by Wusthof cuts the crunchiest crusts like butter and soft bakery products without mashing. Slice bread straight from the oven with ease. It's part of the Gourmet series,a moderately priced collection that offers the same quality steel blade and comfortable, composite, triple-riveted handles as all Wusthof knives. The difference in this newest collection is the precision stamped blade, making it a good choice for the cook who likes a slightly lighter weight knife for everyday food prep. Knives are made in Solingen, Germany.

Whether cutting crusty bread or a soft tomato, this sharp, serrated bread knife from Wüsthof's moderately priced Gourmet line performs with perfection. Made in Solingen, Germany, home of Wüsthof since 1814, Gourmet blades are precision-cut by laser from sheets of high-carbon, stain-resistant steel, resulting in a slightly thinner profile and lighter weight than the company's revered forged steel blades. There is no bolster, but there is a full-tang. As with the more expensive Wüsthof Classic knives, Gourmet handles are made of a triple-riveted, black composite shaped to fit the hand comfortably. The longer of two bread knives in the series, this one features a nine-inch blade and a distinctly sharp tip for piercing or spearing. Uses for the knife are many; in addition to bread and tomatoes, the serrated blade slices easily through large cakes, fruit cobblers, or quiche. An excellent gift for any baker or home cooking enthusiast, the knife is covered by a lifetime warranty and is dishwasher-safe, though Wüsthof recommends washing and drying its cutlery by hand. --Ann Bieri

Wicked sharp

I love crusty European-style breads, and this knife slices them with ease--no tearing, crushing, or crumbling. Crusty bread isn't all it cuts easily. As I was cleaning my kitchen countertop one day, the knife was lying out, and I wiped too close to it with the sponge. The back of one finger barely grazed the blade in passing, but the edge laid my finger open nearly to the bone. Dull guy, sharp knife!

Although this is a stamped blade, it is a very well made knife. Instead of a 'tooth' style serrated blade, it has a scalloped edge. It works beautifully on bread of any kind, cuts right through any crust without crushing the bread. Also cuts cakes cleanly. For bagels it works best if you lay the bagel flat.
I've also used it to carve boneless roasts with good results. It doesn't carve well though for turkeys and chickens (but then it's not designed for that task.
I've had this knife for 2 years and it cuts cleanly every time and supposedly will never need sharpening. Time will tell on that one.
