WÜSTHOF’s Ikon Series- Handles made from durable African Blackwood, one of the hardest woods in the world. High carbon stainless steel precision blades, forged from a single blank. Triple-riveted full tangs, for precise control. A classic amongst the range of knives that belong in every kitchen: as well as bread, this knife is suitable for use on hard-skinned vegetables and fruit, as well as for roasts, especially those with crackling. The concave (inwardly curved), serrated edge of the knife works like the teeth of a saw, but is much finer, so no pressure is required to cut any sort of bread and even a hard crust will allow a clean cut. The small blunt section at the tip of the blade is designed for extra crusty loaves. As you slice down to the bottom of the loaf, simply lift the handle up and use the blunt tip to slice through the hard bottom crust.

I waited too long to pull the plug on obtaining good knives. I'll have one more to buy, the next size up from this one so I don't have to use the chef knife or this knife for cutting a large apple. They are great to handle, very sharp, and obviously well made. Glad I didn't keep waiting. My other knife was cheap and old and I couldn't sharpen it anymore. Very happy, but also now really paying attention because it is extremely sharp. I cut a lot of raw ginger and sometimes the knife would slip. I don't want that with this one. Makes you pay full attention. Which is good.. Val G.. Thu Oct 09 2025

Miyabi 5000 FCD Shotoh, 9cm blade. This Japanese photo, also known as a vegetable knife, has a hard fine carbide steel core which gives very good cutting edge retention and sharpness. It is lightweight and nimble, and suited for cutting, peeling small fruit and vegetables. The FC61 steel core of the blade is embedded in 48 outer layers of Damascus-design steel, giving each knife its unique pattern. The cutting edge is symmetrical (not a single bevel) so it’s suitable for both right and left-handed use. The edge is Honbazuke-honed – a three-stage grinding, sharpening, and polishing process resulting in razor-like sharpness. There is no finger guard so the whole length of the cutting edge can be used. The Pakka wood handle seamlessly joins the half-bolster. The smooth join helps to prevent calluses from forming on the thumb and forefinger. For best care, it’s recommended to hand wash only. Maintain and sharpen on a whetstone, and using glass, ceramic, or stone cutting boards should be avoided as this can prematurely dull the cutting edge.

So far, so good!. Alan. Dallas, TX. Thu Mar 14 2024

Just a gorgeous knife. Very sharp and I use it to cut my fruits and vegetables.. Anonymous. Mon May 11 2026

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. The Purple Yam handles are a trendy shade perfect to get you creative in the kitchen.

Great sturdy knife, just long enough. I have used it on crusty bread - use it slowly and it goes through easily. The wooden handle has a good grip and it reminds me to to put it in the dishwasher. Thankful for the protective glove.. Lieve. Ewing, NJ. Fri Mar 06 2026
