ZWILLING HENCKELS Classic Bread Knife, 7-inch, Black

Great knife - we replaced our old bread knife which simply can't be sharpened. This is very, very sharp.

I’am very happy with my new bread knife 7 inch blade and work excellent to cut up on breads and bagels. It wroth money to buy it. It is good company from Henckels. Thank You ! E.M.

I was raised with good German steel in the kitchen, and Henckels was a byword for quality. It feels like they may have broadened out in to more cheap faddish products in recent years, but their core sets remain the same lovely high quality knives I've always known. I don't fool myself that this particular blade is an ultra-high-end chef's knife (would need to add a 0 to the price for that), but I am not an ultra-high-end chef. I am a normal, everyday user, and this knife is outstanding for everyday users like me. The grip is well balanced, the blade it sharp, it goes through bread effortlessly, and the slight upward curve towards the tip allows for a more natural cutting stroke. I'll keep this knife around for a long time. Pros: - High quality manufacture - Well balanced and sharp - Shaped for the task - Cuts cleanly, with no crushing or tearing Cons: - It comes in a cheap plastic packaging (meant for shop display, not storage) and doesn't have a sheath, making it a menace to fingers in drawers for those without a spare slot in their knife block. Summary: - An excellent bread knife - you won't find better for the price.

A sturdy grip with excellent balance! To be used 95% of the time on non-gluten home-baked products. It smoothly separated slice from loaf. It replaces a made in china monstrosity that is wobbley abd relatively useless compared to this Henckels tool! The reviews mattered and doing some homework brought up a winning baking tool.

Excellent knife. Works great. Very comfortable.
