It's the best I've ever owned. The Z shape helps keeping your knucles off of the cutting board and the blade can handle any job with maestry!

This knife cuts like its more famous sibling, the R H. Forschner by Victorinox 10-1/4-Inch Curved Blade Bread Knife. I happen to like how the other performs, so I later bought this offset, slightly shorter bread knife and brought it to my workplace for cutting sandwiches and bread. The blade obviously does not have the heft of (way) more expensive bread knives, and it can flex a bit, but its performance is definitely a tremendous step up from the similarly priced one that my coworkers and I had been using previously at work.

I buy a lot of freshly baked bread and find that having a good bread knife is a must. For me this knife has the trifecta: It is well balanced, has a comfortable grip, and slices effortlessly. I also really like the raised handle as it makes it easier for me to cut slices of bread with an even thickness. Victorinox has a reputation for making high quality knives at a good price and this offering does not disappoint.

Before I bought, I read a lot of Amazon reviews on the 10.25 inch Victorinox 47547. I have an old, 8" Chicago Cutlery bread knife that is kinda dull. I wanted a new bread knife, and I thought I wanted a longer blade. Two things in those otherwise great reviews caught my attention: the blade "was not too rigid," and it "was sharpened on only one side." (The reviewers said the knife being sharpened on only one side would cause the blade to drift offline during a cut--and I thought I was a perfectionist!). This "offline" complaint drove me to seriously consider the Wustoff (the $126 model--so I wouldn't have to put up with those aggravating offline cuts). But before I spent that much money, I went to see one at a local store. Lo and behold, the Wustoff blade--the $126 one--is sharpened on only one side! (My guess is, all wavy-edge, serrated knife blades are sharpened this way... so much for perfect cuts.) Once I found out about one-sided sharpening on all the blades I was considering, the $26 Victorinox models were looking very good. Because I've noticed that my knuckles get in the way when I slice, I ended up getting the Victorinox 9-Inch Wavy Edge Bread Knife, with the offset handle. Its blade is plenty thick and stiff, and very sharp. I now enjoy slicing bread without having to manipulate a straight knife because of my knuckles. And, at this price, I can afford to buy a new knife every time one gets dull. PS: My freehand, thin bread slices are an even thickness from top-to-bottom and side-to-side.

Very happy with my purchase. The knife works brilliantly. I really like the offset handle. I would purchase again...but I don't think i'll have to.

This is a wonderful bread knife for the low price. It cuts effortlessly through the crustiest bread without smashing it. The ergonomic shape helps in this. I've already bought another as a gift. Highly recommended.

I bought this for my granddaughter because my bread knife does NOT have an offset handle and I consequently use my serrated slicing knife mostly. Want her to learn from my kitchen mistakes over 50 years.

I love this knife, cuts through bread like butter without smashing the loaf. The offset handle is genious, don't know how I lived without it.

This is not the very first Victorinox knife i ordered from Amazon, when it comes to bread knifes i have the other Victorinox bread knife but this one with the z shape design looked great and I had to have it! But in the end both are really good knifes for the price and everyone should own them, I can't say one's better than the other!

Very user friendly. It cuts quarter inch slices off a bread machine loaf. No rips or crushing and the offset handle keeps you clear of the board preventing awark operations.
