Wusthof Classic Bread knife 20cm

'Buy cheap, buy twice', they say and I've certainly wasted money on buying inexpensive bread knives that simply do not do the job. However, that's not the case with this Wusthof knife. It is amazingly good and will cut through the softest, freshest bread quite easily. I've paid a little bit more but now have a superb quality item that delights me every time I use it.

I had to wear plasters on my fingers after using this. I picked up some bad habits with my old blunt knife. Razor sharp and cuts bread perfectly, even when it's freshly baked and still hot.

Unfortunately the knife I ordered for my job as a chef arrived with the tip broken off. It’s an expensive bit of kit so it was a shame. However, hopefully the refund will go through quickly and I will re-order

£60 for a breadknife! Bloody hell! I bought a block of these knives from a closing down sale about 20 years ago and they are excellent knives. The bread knife got broken being misused as a screwdriver and that hole in the knife block drove me mad. So I bought a new one. Moral of the tale: don't abuse the expensive bread knife as a screwdriver. Serious note: don't stick them in the dishwasher, the metal screws/rivets in the handles corrode over time (obviously I've had the original knives 20 years, but shame to speed the aging process).

Fabulous. Usual high standard of German engineering and manufacturer. Even after all these months looks as if it just came out of packaging. Razor sharp(be careful!) and supeb bread cutter/slicer.

It may seem strange to spend so much money just to cut bread but it does it so well. The blade is so sharp that it allows precise slicing without sawing, crushing and crumbling.

Beautiful knife, lovely & sharp, unfortunately tip was broken on delivery even with protection on the end.

We gave this as a gift to my daughter's family. Her teen aged sons love fresh bread but were using a steak knife to cut the bread. Of course this really crushes the structure of the bread. The Wusthof Classic Bread knife solved that issue and now they are enjoying fresh bread without compromising the structure of the bread..
