Wüsthof CLASSIC IKON 9" Double-Serrated Bread Knife

Precise Slicing with Less Pressure

The 9-inch blade gives you the reach for broad loaves and larger baked goods. Smaller serrations sit within the larger teeth, helping the edge engage a hard crust without forcing the blade downward and crushing the softer interior.

The same cutting action also works cleanly on softer bread and delicate baked surfaces where a coarser serrated edge can catch or tear.

From Our Founder

"A good bread knife should get through the crust without making you lean on it. The double-serrated edge does that, and the 9-inch blade gives you enough reach for the loaves people actually bake."

Tony Boulton, Founder, Design & Grace

Questions answered

Frequently asked questions

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

Its precision double-serrated edge has smaller serrations within larger teeth. These additional cutting points help grip firm crusts and slice through softer bread interiors with less downward pressure than a conventional single-serrated edge.

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

Yes. The double-serrated edge is designed for firm crusts and delicate interiors. Its 9-inch length provides useful reach for artisan loaves, baguettes, rolls, and sandwich bread while helping reduce compression during slicing.

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

Yes. Its long serrated blade is useful for slicing layered cakes, pastries, and pies, particularly when a firm exterior surrounds a soft interior. Gentle sawing strokes help avoid crushing delicate baked goods.

How does this bread knife differ from the CLASSIC 9" Double-Serrated model?

Both use a forged 9-inch blade with precision double serrations. The CLASSIC IKON version has the range's contoured handle and distinctive bolster design, providing a different grip and balance while maintaining the same primary cutting function.
