Swiss Classic, Professional Bread Knife, Extra Sharp Blade, Serrated Edge, 21 cm, Robust Plastic Handle, Stainless Steel, Black

This is a lovely bread knife, cake knife etc. it is sharp enough to cut unsliced loaves with ease & the handle is comfortable to hold. The handle is a lovely colour of red which matches the red accents on the tiles of my kitchen. It’s a strong knife & will last. Not too expensive but certainly not cheap & nasty.

For anyone with no experience of Victorinox knives; they make the original, official, Swiss Army Knife as well as a range of other pocket and kitchen knives; all from the highest quality cutlery stainless steel and are exceedingly sharp. I have a number of Victorinox kitchen knives, some very well used and all very sharp, so I had the highest expectations of this one. Comes in a stout cardboard sleeve which is perfect for keeping it in so its edge doesn't get damaged. Wide but thin blade with the serrated edge ground on the right-hand side, so it cuts flat and straight for a right-handed person. Out of its sleeve, washed with care (fingers away from the edge) and tested on a two-day old Lidl cob loaf (7" diameter) with the crust gone rather leathery - cut two ¼" thick, even, slices effortlessly! I expect this bread knife to be equally good at carving ham. It may seems to be an expensive bread knife, but for a tool that I'll use every day, it's well worth the price. Wish I'd splashed out on one years ago. Durability? I have had a 'Swiss Officer's' knife that has lived in the pocket of my work trousers for over 30 years. The plastic grips look a bit well-used, but it all works perfectly and the blades' edges get honed every few months to keep them very sharp. "Dad's trusty Swiss Army Knife" has come to the rescue many times - though it's become "Grandad's..."

We bake a lot of crusty sourdough, and cheaper knives usually 'crush' the loaf before they cut it. This Victorinox blade is professional-grade; the serrated edge is exceptionally sharp and long enough to slice a large loaf in one clean motion. The handle is ergonomic and provides a very secure grip, which is vital when applying pressure to a hard crust. It’s an incredibly easy-to-use, high-quality tool that belongs in every kitchen. Five stars!

Brilliant very sharp great price cheaper because of the colour but who cares I want it to cut not look at

Excellent blade. Cuts really easily. It makes it easy to cut thin slices of bread. The handle is comfortable. It looks cheap, but the cost seems to have gone into the blade. If you want a good working knife at a reasonable cost it's the one for you, if you want a knife to look good on a display probably not.

Amazing knife, it cuts through my Sourdough like a hot knife through butter!

Superb!

Excellent quality, exceptionaly sharp.

Cut through a loaf of homemade super crusty bread this morning. No more sawing! Thought price was fine for brand and functionality.

Hab’s gut verpackt bekommen und gleich ausprobiert. Frisches Bauernbrot und Semmeln als erster Test: Bestanden! Ideale Schärfe der Klinge und Gesamtgewicht als Voraussetzung für einen guten Schnitt. Überzeugend!

Klassisches Brotmesser. Scharf und sehr gut im Handling

Great sharp knife. Very good quality.

Couteau à pain qui coupe très bien
