Wusthof Classic Bread Knife

A standard serrated knife has a single row of teeth that can tear softer crusts. The double-serrated design features smaller, secondary serrations within the larger scallops, which allows the blade to glide through tough crusts and delicate interiors with significantly less resistance and crumbling.

No, this knife is not dishwasher safe. To protect the high-carbon steel blade and the integrity of the handle, we recommend hand washing it with warm water and mild soap, then drying it immediately.

Absolutely. While it excels at artisan loaves and baguettes, the double-serrated edge is also excellent for slicing through foods with tough skins and soft interiors, such as large tomatoes, melons, or even thick-skinned citrus.

High-carbon steel is prized for its edge retention and durability, but it can be prone to rust if left wet. Simply ensure the blade is wiped completely dry after every use and store it in a knife block or on a magnetic strip rather than loose in a drawer.

The blade is 9 inches long, which is the standard professional length for a bread knife. This provides enough reach to slice through large sourdough boules or wide loaves in a single, smooth motion without needing to saw back and forth.
