Classic IKON 9" Double-Serrated Bread Knife

The best bread knife I've ever owned. Stays incredibly sharp. I own other knives in Wusthof's Classic Ikon range of products and they are very high quality knives. Opinions will differ regarding whether this is a suitable knife for cutting delicate fruits such as tomatoes, but I will admit to using it for that purpose when I was in a pinch. It makes amazing, near paper-thin slices of tomato. I also bake all my own bread and this knife goes through thick, crusty European-style crusts as if they are made of butter. No sawing or struggling. All the Ikon knives are beautifully balanced and weighted--substantial but light in one's grip. The Classic Ikon 9" serrated bread knife is a truly great cutting implement and worth the investment of the price.

My wife has a recipe for a very crusty bread that I love. She doesn't mind making it but until we founf this knife, there was no solution to slicing it. Wonderful.

I used to have a set of Wusthof Classic knives, and the only thing I didn't like so much was the handle. I have large hands, and I felt like the "classic" knife handle grip on the Classic line would rotate too easily in my hand, especially if I was using a lot of force on the knife (like cutting through a huge squash). The last thing you want is for the knife blade to slip sideways while you're cutting. The Ikon handle seems to fix that issue for me, it's a bit larger and much better shaped for the inside grip of a hand. Perfectly balanced, beautifully finished, and still a reasonable price-point.

This knife is perfectly balanced and weighted and fits in your hand beautifully. It cuts with surgical accuracy and relieves your hand from pushing so hard to cut through vegetables and breads. Very sharp and heavy wieghted.

This knife is so sharp that you can just press it through bread to cut it. Even tougher breads like bagels. It's truly commendable, sharp, and high-quality. It changed my family's perspective on what serrated knifes can do. It will last forever.

Well built knife. Has good balance and feels good in your hand. Nine inch blade length. For my uses a slightly short length would be better. But prefer double serrations over single. Found it on sale for a good price.

Wow! Best bread knife I’ve ever owned. Slices through crusty bread likes it’s nothing. Just really impressive and a joy to use. Beautiful as well. Totally worth the money.

The Ikon series are awesome knives.
