[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Received as a gift aftter I mentioned to a friend of mine that I’ve been making bread but haven’t been doing too well of a job cutting it. This knife feels great in my hand, the handle is just the right size and it cuts like no knife I’ve ever had before when dealing with bread. I’d recommend this, and if possible get it as a gift for your friends because well, since it’s 2020, everyone has been baking bread.
Bread knives are totally under utilized in my opionion. I wanted something that would not only cut the crustiest breads, but also one that cuts mellons, pinapples, cabbages and other foods that are difficult to cut with a Chef knife. This knife is comfortable and durable and is long enough to cut the the largest melons. The one piece construction really helps guide the knife through tough jobs, like spaghetti and butternut squash,
I was looking for a bread knife that was super sharp to get through my homemade sourdough loaves that could get through the crust without crushing the light and airy inside. I've been using this almost daily for the past 3 year and I feel like it is cutting almost as good as the first day I got it. I love the handle because it feels like it was made for my hand with all the curves in the right places.
No more heavy bread knives! I love that this bread knife is lightweight. Thanks to the stamped bread knife, I have the quality of a German knife and the ability to have something lightweight. I assure the quality is still there. This knife works so well!
I bought this knife because I didn't want to take my beast, (10" zwilling Pro knife) to picnics and bar-b-Qs . it works great for cuddling the big sub sandwiches as well as cutting melons. I keep it with my to go food serving items and we always have what we need.
The Signature line of stamped knives is made Germany from one of Zwilling's top quality steels. These knives are made with German craftsmanship and precision. Lighter than forged knives, this line is very popular. The sculpted handles fold into the palm of most people’s hands comfortably. The steel is strong, stable and holds an edge well. They can be and should be sharpened regularly. I recommend hand washing so they always look like new; but they are dishwasher safe.
This bread knife will hold it's edge for a very long time - years and years. Keep it dedicated to foods with tough (crusty levain bread) or spongy (sourdough bread) exteriors and tender interiors (tomatoes, peaches) and you will appreciate the role a serrated knife plays in cooking. Also good knife for leveling or slicing cakes.
