🍞 Wusthof Classic Bread Knife, 1 Size, Ebony, Stainless Steel Review

Test Kitchen America recommended the 11" Wüsthof Classic bread knife, but the 9" was significantly cheaper and otherwise the same. I gifted this to my brother who was complaining about his old bread knife and he LOVES it!

My wife bakes bread and I am perfectly happy with the old bread knife. When this new one arrived I was shocked at how much easier it cuts and how thinner I can cut it. While there's not much romance in a bread knife, it makes a great addition to any kitchen.

My husband and I have acquired many Wusthop Classic knives over the course of our 39 year marriage. The bread knife is one of several items that we are now giving away as wedding gifts to family and friends who are getting married. The other two items are a two-piece Wusthof starter set that includes 6-inch paring knives and 8-inch chef's knives, and a Precision Edge two-stage knife sharpener. The latter lasts forever with proper care.

I needed a good bread knife because I only had cheap supermarket stuff. I inherited several Wüsthof knives from my late mother, so I knew from experience that it was a good brand. This knife is amazing! I never knew what I was missing using this cheap knife I had. This thing cuts everything. Hot, freshly baked bread that doesn't break, tomatoes of almost any thickness, from thin paper to huge chunks for hamburgers. You can't go wrong with any of these.

I've tried many different knives and got frustrated when I tried to use an inferior knife for cooking in the kitchen. After trying Wüsthof, I didn't use any other knife of my choice. They make the prep work pleasant and easy. This bread knife is particularly good. No more mashed breads trying to cut them. The knife begins to cut as soon as it is placed on the loaf, even on hard crust bread. I can't say enough good things about these knives and this one in particular.

This is our most popular classic Wusthof knife. We have quite a number of classic knives and this one put a smile on my friend's face the first time she cut a baguette with it. Also cut melons with it. Great little blade curve that makes it so comfortable to use. I've really argued about spending money on a knife just to slice bread, but it won't crush the loaf and make the most minimalist of movements. It turns a loaf into slices for grilling or toasting in less than 10 seconds. Be careful…

I'm more loyal to the brand than you would believe and I couldn't decide for a very long time whether I prefer Henckels or Wusthof knives. This latest addition to my knife set has finally sparked my love for Wüsthof knives (sorry Henckels!). My previous serrated knife was a 5 inch utility knife that was part of the Zwilling JA Henckels Twin Pro S 7 piece knife set and it has never been so convenient and has been too short. Slicing feels very easy with this 8 inch knife and I had no problem…

A few months ago my wife and I bought a set of three of the Wusthof classic knives and have been very impressed with their work. When we needed a new bread knife we decided to spend the extra money and buy the same knife for our set. And we were amazed. First off, the quality of the Wüsthof and the feel of this knife is great. It just feels good in the hand. I can't put it into words, but I would say it just feels right. Also, the knives we had before were cheap knives from other brands. With…
