I purchased this knife as my old bread knife was a bit too short to slice home baked bread using a breville slicing guide. They call it a crust-buster, and boy that is exactly what it does. Goes through a loaf like a hot knife through butter.

Fabulous tool - recommended.

I had been reluctant to spend money for a knife used for just cutting bread but now that I own one, I wish I had done it a long time ago. It works wonderful with bread but it's great for bagels, tomatoes and anything that needs slicing. Well worth the money.

Best bread knife I have ever owned. Fantastic on hard crusty breads, slices meat, vegetables, fruit - most versatile knife I have ever used. You will not be disappointed in this knife which was recommended in Saveur Magazine.

This bread knife has about the same height to it as a chef's knife. The edge is wonderful. Consequently I can slice my homemade bread extremely thin without much effort. I slice my bread thinner than convential slices. When I make a sandwich, both slices together are slightly thicker than one slice of convential bread. I recommend this knife highly.

Firstly, this works very well, cuts crusty bread with no strife or strain. Just the way it ought to be. So full points for effectiveness. I quite liked the way it dealt with a crusty baguette, for example.

Note that you're not getting a top of the line Wusthof knife here (the Gourmet line is definitely 2nd tier): the handle looks a bit cheap compared to high-end knives, and it has a half tang (the tang is full length, but half-width). The steel looks and cuts fine, but I suspect that it might not last well under heavy use,

A few "obvious" things to note: (1) This is a very long blade (it really is a full 10 inches), so you will need a knife block that is built for such blades. (2) The instructions do say that you can use a steel to reset the edge when needed. (3) A serrated edge can mangle a cutting board, so be careful if you're using your fancy (expensive) block.

This knife is great for slicing crusty breads! I was a little bit concerned because it is on the "lower" end of the Wustof knives but I really like it and use it almost every day.

I use this knife for slicing bread. It is excellent! Good heft, excellent control. A real joy to use.

Wusthof is a great brand and I own several, but this is my favorite. I recognize that it's a bread knife, but works great quartering large pieces of meat or veggies.

Buying two more for Christmas presents.

I've been using this knife for several months now. It is well made, cuts through dense homemade bread like butter. Pricey, but it's a well made product.

This long serrated knife is well-balanced and cuts bread as advertised--through the crust without damaging the soft inner bread; instead of forcing the knife to cut, let the knife do the work as its cuts through the bread. Having the knife longer than the width of most breads makes for easier cutting, too.

I'm sure this knife has other uses besides cutting bread: tomatoes, etc.
