The Wüsthof Classic Bread Knife 20cm is a long serrated specialist for cleanly cutting crusts and delicate interiors without compressing them.

Key Features

  • 20 cm blade sized for crusty loaves, soft bread and filled sandwiches
  • Serrated / wavy edge
  • Precision-forged from a single piece of Wüsthof steel with a full tang and full bolster
  • Wüsthof stainless steel hardened to 58 HRC
  • Triple-riveted synthetic handle
  • Made in Solingen, Germany

Why Choose This Product

Choose this when clean structure matters. A long serrated edge reaches through a loaf with fewer strokes than a short utility knife and preserves delicate crumb far better than forcing a straight edge. The relatively compact length is easy to control on modest boards and smaller loaves or joints. Within the Classic range, this model stands out for the benchmark Wüsthof line: planted, traditionally balanced and built for cooks who prefer a substantial forged knife.
Simply Hospitality Notes

Let the serrations do the work with long, light strokes. Serrated edges need maintenance less often than plain edges, but they should be professionally sharpened rather than forced through a pull-through sharpener.

Product Guide

Use long, light sawing strokes from heel to tip and avoid pressing down on the loaf. The same technique works well for cakes, pastries and tough-skinned produce with soft interiors.

Brand Guide

About Wüsthof: Wüsthof has made knives in Solingen, Germany since 1814. Its collection ranges from lighter laser-cut Gourmet knives to precision-forged Classic, Ikon, Crafter, Performer and newer everyday lines, allowing cooks to choose by weight, handle feel and finish rather than brand name alone. Quality edges should be hand washed, dried immediately and maintained regularly.

Product Details

A sawing action lets the edge work through resistant surfaces while placing less downward pressure on soft crumb, pastry or ripe produce. The Classic specification pairs precision-forged from a single piece of Wüsthof steel with a full tang and full bolster and triple-riveted synthetic handle to shape balance, durability and maintenance in daily use.

Best Suited To

  • Crusty loaves, soft bread and filled sandwiches
  • Cakes, pastry and tough-skinned produce
