A classic amongst the range of knives that belong in every kitchen: as well as bread, this knife is suitable for use on hard-skinned vegetables and fruit, as well as for roasts, especially those with crackling. The concave, serrated edge of the knife works like the teeth of a saw, but much finer, so no pressure is required to cut any sort of bread, and even a hard crust will allow a clean cut.
- Concave, serrated edge: Works like a fine saw, cutting cleanly through even a hard crust with no pressure needed.
- Genuinely versatile: Suited to hard-skinned vegetables, fruit, and roasts with crackling, not just bread.
- Forged in Solingen, Germany: Over 200 years of knife-making expertise in every blade.
- Two sizes available: 20cm or 23cm, depending on the size of loaf you're usually cutting.
What Customers Ask About This Product
Is it dishwasher safe?
No, handwash and dry immediately, since dishwashers can blunt and chip the blade over time.
What's it best used for?
Bread, hard-skinned vegetables and fruit, and roasts with crackling.
Which size should I choose?
The 20cm suits everyday loaves, while the 23cm gives more reach for larger bread or bigger roasts.
In our experience...
A concave edge is what makes this knife genuinely effortless on crust. The inward curve works like fine saw teeth, so it cuts through hard crust without needing to press down.
A WÜSTHOF blade is built to stay sharp for longer than most. Laser-guided PEtec sharpening and edge geometry mean it holds its edge around twice as long as ordinary knives, reducing how often it needs resharpening.
This knife earns its versatility beyond bread. The same serrated edge that handles a crusty loaf is just as effective on tough-skinned fruit, vegetables, and crackling.
