WÜSTHOF CLASSIC

Precision Double Serrations for Cleaner Slices

WÜSTHOF's double-serrated cutting edge places smaller teeth within each larger serration. This gives the blade multiple cutting points that grip a firm crust while helping it move through the softer bread beneath without excessive pressure.

The 9-inch length provides enough reach for large artisan loaves, baguettes, sandwich bread, and baked goods. A controlled sawing motion produces even slices while reducing the crushing and tearing that can occur with a less effective bread knife.

WÜSTHOF CLASSIC

More Than a Bread Knife

The long serrated blade is also useful for slicing cakes, pastries, and pies, especially when the exterior is firmer than the interior. It handles delicate baked goods with less downward force than a plain-edge knife.

Forged in Solingen, Germany, the CLASSIC bread knife combines WÜSTHOF's traditional construction with a specialized cutting edge. Its 58 HRC blade and triple-riveted handle make it a substantial kitchen tool for regular use.

From Our Founder

"The advantage of this knife is how little pressure it needs. It gets through a hard crust without flattening the crumb, and the nine-inch blade gives you enough reach to finish each slice cleanly."

Questions answered

Frequently asked questions

What makes the WÜSTHOF CLASSIC Double-Serrated Bread Knife different?

Its cutting edge has smaller serrations within each larger serration. These additional cutting points help the blade grip firm crusts and slice through softer interiors with less downward pressure than a conventional single-serrated edge.

Can this bread knife cut both crusty sourdough and soft sandwich bread?

Yes. The precision double-serrated edge is designed to handle firm crusts while reducing compression of soft interiors. The 9-inch blade provides enough length for substantial artisan loaves while remaining controlled for sandwich bread, rolls, and baguettes.

What handle colors are available?

This bread knife is offered here in five handle options: Black, White, Wild Blueberry, Fresh Rosemary, and Velvet Oyster. The same 9-inch forged blade and precision double-serrated cutting design are shared across the handle options.

Can I use the WÜSTHOF CLASSIC Bread Knife for cakes and pastries?

Yes. Its long double-serrated blade is useful for portioning cakes, pastries, and pies, particularly when a firmer exterior surrounds a soft or delicate interior. Use gentle sawing strokes rather than pressing straight down.

How should I care for a double-serrated bread knife?

Wash by hand and towel-dry immediately. Avoid the dishwasher, soaking, abrasive sponges, and hard cutting surfaces. Store the blade safely to protect its serrations. Double-serrated edges require appropriate sharpening equipment and technique, so seek specialist sharpening advice when needed.

What warranty comes with the WÜSTHOF CLASSIC Bread Knife?

WÜSTHOF provides a limited lifetime warranty against defects in materials and workmanship under normal household use. Normal wear, misuse, and commercial use are excluded. Design & Grace can help if you need assistance with a warranty claim.
