It's a Wusthof Classic, so it's got all the weight, balance, comfort and precision sharpness of the great German line. This is a great choice for all amateur & aspiring chefs, and many professionals.

The purpose of this review is to urge any shopper investing in a Wusthof bread knife to go for the full 10" length -- it makes a positive difference in leverage as you slice, and easily clears the diameter of virtually any boule, ciabatta, and other artisan loaves. The same principle applies to roasts and other meats, if you use your serrated knives for carving.

The length doesn't diminish anyone's ability to slice tomatoes, panini or any other foods, either. If you're going to spend $100+ on a quality bread knife, make your money go further with the 10" model.

This is a great knife. It not only cuts bread like it's butter, but is also great for slicing tomatoes. No matter how thin you want to slice the tomato, this knife can do it.

I bought one of these a year ago for slicing crusty homemade bread. It works very well. I can make consistent clean slices of 1/8" to 3/16" thickness in high-density hard-crusted whole grain bread (great for toasting). I am going to give one as a gift this year.

I got this knife as a gift and had my doubts that this could be so great. In my experience, any sereated knife cut bread pretty well. Boy, was I ever wrong. This knife slides through a loaf of bread, hot from the oven, like a hot knife through butter. Usually you have to let bread cool some before cutting or you get this crushed mass of food. With this knife I can cut it straight from the oven in 2 easy strokes and leave it looking like a slice of bread any professional could have done. My husband and I want to cut our own bread so we can use the knife ourselves! Who would have thought it could be so much fun? The heft is good and it's a decent size. I love it!

We bought the Wusthof 10" Bread Knife because it was recommended by Cook's Illustrated Magazine as the best serrated knife available on the market. My wife and I make homemade Italian country bread and the crust is thick and can be a trick to slice well. This Wusthof 10" bread knife cuts it easily into any thickness we want -- and takes much of the manual labor out of the job. We love our new bread knife and we would recommend it to anyone who makes and loves artisan breads.

Thanks, Amazon, for the great price on this great knife!

I bought this for my husband and he loves it (he is very picky). It is very sharp and doesn't crush bread. The blade length is long enough to go through round boules with ease.

The 10-inch bread knife cuts through all sorts of bread with ease. The longer blade provides extra leverage. The knife is well balanced, and like other Wusthof classic cutlery we have purchased, one of the more used pieces in our kitchen. And it is getting used to slice more than just bread. (Maybe time for some more new knives.)

Yet another 5 star review for this knife. If you enjoy the experience of a great knife effortlessly cutting any kind of bread, this knife is for you. I make a wide variety from fluffy whites to a very heavy multi-grain rye seed bread. Have used it to cut both extremes and love it.

This is an absolutely phenomenal knife -- great review from American Test Kitchen and it lived up to the review.

This is a great breadknife. I particularly like the long length for cutting larger sized loaves. The quality and cutting performance is EXCELLENT. Worth every penny!
