Wusthof Classic Bread Knife

This is the gold standard for anyone tired of mangled sourdough and crumb-covered counters. Its aggressive serrations glide through the toughest crusts with surgical precision, though the trade-off is a specialized blade that demands a bit more care to keep those teeth sharp.
