Wusthof Classic Bread Knife

Yes, the serrated edge is excellent for slicing through items with tough exteriors and soft interiors, such as tomatoes, citrus, or even delicate cakes. However, it is specifically optimized for the texture of crusty loaves.

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

The 9-inch length provides enough reach to slice through large, artisan-style loaves in a single motion. This length helps you maintain a smooth, consistent stroke, which prevents the bread from tearing or crushing.

Polyoxymethylene (POM) is a high-quality synthetic material known for its exceptional durability and resistance to heat and impact. It is triple-riveted to the tang, ensuring the handle remains secure and comfortable even with frequent, heavy use.

Serrated blades hold their edge longer than straight blades, but they are more difficult to sharpen at home. When the knife eventually dulls, it is best to have it professionally sharpened or use a specialized tool designed for serrated edges.
