Wusthof Epicure Bread Knife

The double-serrated design features smaller, secondary serrations within the main teeth. This allows the blade to glide through crusty bread with less resistance and fewer crumbs compared to a traditional single-serrated edge.

No, this knife is not dishwasher safe. High-heat cycles and harsh detergents can damage the composite wood handle and dull the high-carbon stainless steel blade over time; hand washing is recommended.

Yes, the 9-inch blade is highly versatile. It works exceptionally well for slicing delicate cakes, thick-skinned vegetables like melons, or even carving roasts where a clean, sawing motion is required.

The full tang means the steel extends through the entire length of the handle, which provides superior balance and structural integrity. This design ensures the knife feels sturdy and stable in your hand during heavy-duty cutting tasks.

The composite wood handle is designed for durability and moisture resistance, so it does not require the same oiling as traditional wood handles. Simply wipe it clean and dry it thoroughly after each use to maintain its condition.
