I purchased this to replace my previous bread knife, also from Zwilling, that was finally in need of replacement after about 15 years. This is a great knife, and I anticipate many years of use to come.
Very sharp, and I like the length for versatility. I have several Henkels Pro knives and love them. I prefer the blade thickness over my Shun Premier knives.
I have always wanted a decent bread knife to cut through bread. The cheap ones I had were like sawing through bread making a mess. Got this and it works great!! It provides smooth even cuts. Haven't tried it yet but I hear it works great on slicing tomatoes.
