Was gifted a wostof knife 25 yrs ago bought 2 more 15 yrs ago and another 5 yrs ago. Now I have a complete set they may be pricy but they are high quality there is a reason a lot of chefs use Wostof! Hi Kyle is good too but I’m partial to Wostof as it was my first propper cooking knife. Ps I still have all my old knives and they work great, just not as super sharp as they used to be.

The blade was redesigned with a broader curve in the front to facilitate the rocking motion of Western cutting, while the straight back is ideal for the Asian chopping motion. The full length of the blade can be used when cutting and can be sharpened from bolster to tip Designed in Italy by Matteo Thun and made in Germany by Zwilling J.A.

Wüsthof'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.

It feels right and capable well-suited to our favorite breads, crusty, chewy and luscious breads.. Carl M.. Tue Aug 18 2026
