Wusthof's precise, double-serrated edge makes a clear difference with this bread knife: in contrast with a single-serrated edge, this knife has serrations within the serrations, meaning that it remains sharp for longer, requires less pressure and is suitable for very precise, smooth cuts. Bread with a hard crust is not crushed when sliced with this double-serrated blade, while bread with a soft crust is also sliced cleanly, without any tearing of the delicate surface. The Wüsthof Classic range is the brand’s most iconic and widely recognized knife series, known for its exceptional quality, durability, and precision. Each knife in this collection is forged from a single piece of high-carbon stainless steel, ensuring superior strength and edge retention. The full-tang construction, combined with a triple-riveted synthetic handle, provides a well-balanced and ergonomic grip for maximum comfort and control. Utilizing Wüsthof’s Precision Edge Technology (PEtec), the Classic range delivers razor-sharp blades that maintain their edge longer than traditional knives. Designed for both professional chefs and home cooks, the Wüsthof Classic series offers a versatile selection of knives, from chef’s knives to paring and bread knives, making it a staple in kitchens worldwide.
