WüsthofClassic Ikon 9 Inch Double Serrated Bread Knife, Black

The best bread knife I have ever owned and will ever need to own.

Used for slicing sourdough and it is fantastic. My only problem is that I ordered the 23cms blade but the knife I received has a 20 cms blade, clearly stated on the box but I can't go through the hassle of returning it! There is a slight difference in the price as well. Perhaps a small price adjustment on my next order would compensate?

Best bread knife in the world! Cuts bread like a hot knife to butter.Expensive but save up and buy.. totally worth it.

Wusthof are generally excellent at producing a well balanced knife. This is a rare example where I tend to agree with other comments that the handle of this bread knife would benefit from being a size larger i.e. like the 8” chef knife. The bread knife is very sharp. Cuts into firm bread with ease. But a bread knife needs to cut straight and for this you need a good grip on the handle. The ergonomic Ikon Classic handle is smooth and the POM cheeks are not as grippy as the African Blackwood of the more expensive Ikon series. Hence, a slightly larger handle is likely to improve control on long slices in firm bread. Hence four stars.

I received the 20cm version not the 23cm one, really haven't got time to return it so using this instead. it's a good knife.
