Wüsthof Classic Bread Knife 20cm | Serrated Stainless Steel
The Wüsthof Classic Bread Knife 20cm is designed for clean, controlled slicing of bread and other foods with firm or hard skins.

Made from high-carbon stainless steel with full tang construction and an ergonomic handle, it combines lasting sharpness, durability and comfortable handling.
Construction & Design
The Wüsthof Classic Bread Knife features a 20cm serrated blade designed to cut through crusty loaves and firm surfaces with a controlled sawing motion. The serrated edge helps the knife grip the food as it cuts, making it particularly useful for foods with a firm exterior and softer interior.
The blade is made from high-carbon stainless steel, providing durability, corrosion resistance and lasting sharpness. Full tang construction extends the blade steel through the handle, contributing to the knife’s strength, balance and robust construction.
The ergonomic handle provides a comfortable and secure grip, giving you the control needed for consistent slicing. The combination of the serrated blade, full tang construction and ergonomic handle makes this a dependable bread knife for regular kitchen use.
Performance & Benefits
The Wüsthof Classic Bread Knife makes it easier to achieve clean, even slices through bread without relying on downward pressure that can compress softer interiors. The serrated edge is particularly effective on crusty loaves, sourdough and other breads with a firm crust.
Beyond bread, the knife can also be used for foods with hard or firm skins, including selected fruits and vegetables. Its 20cm blade provides useful length for slicing larger loaves, while the ergonomic handle supports controlled handling throughout preparation and serving.
