Precision-forged 8" bread knife

The Wusthof Classic bread knife is forged from a single block of high-carbon stainless steel and tempered to 58-degree HRC. Precision Edge Technology yields a blade that is 20% sharper with twice the edge retention than previous models. The full tang and triple-riveted synthetic polypropylene handle resists fading, discoloration, heat and impact. Hand wash only.

Serrated edge limits

The serrations guide the blade through tough crusts without compressing the soft interior, producing minimal crumbs and no tearing. This design is specialised for bread and baguettes; it will not cleanly slice roasted meats, tomatoes or other foods that require a smooth, straight edge. The blade is not suited for chopping hard ingredients or cutting on hard surfaces.

High-carbon stainless steel at 58 HRC

The steel composition and hardness determine whether the knife holds its edge through daily slicing of crusty loaves. At 58 HRC the blade balances sharpness retention with resistance to chipping, but it requires hand washing and careful storage to avoid corrosion or damage. Buyers who want a dishwasher-safe knife or a blade for general chopping tasks should choose a different tool.

Questions about this item

Should I choose the 8-inch length or a different size for slicing bread?

The 8-inch serrated blade is designed to slice through bread and baguettes with minimal crumbs and no tearing, handling both large loaves and smaller rolls.

What does the 58 HRC hardness mean for daily use?

A Rockwell hardness of 58 HRC keeps the high-carbon stainless steel edge sharp longer while resisting chipping during regular slicing tasks.

How does the full tang construction affect balance and durability?

The single-block forging with full tang and triple-riveted polypropylene handle provides balanced weight distribution and resists fading, heat and impact.
