Great Knife
All my knives are Chicago Cutlery so I was aware of their quality before ordering this knife. I'm not disappointed--it's very sharp and comfortable to use and it works great with the Norpro bread slicer.

10" Serrated Bread Knife
The knife does an excellent job of cutting through the toughest crusts. The length is especially handy.
Fantastic Bread Knife
This is truly a superb knife in quality and performance!!After reading the customer ratings, I was convinced to try one of these knives for myself.All of the 5 Star Customer Ratings are true!!! This knife excels in performance well above knives that are triple the price and goes beyond all expectations of the higher priced knives.I also found that if you aren't careful, it also cuts fingers too!! I totally agree with a previous customer's comments - "For price and quality, this knife is an absolute STEAL!!!

Editorial Review

The 8-inch blade on this knife features a curved back and a straight, scalloped edge. The serrated edge penetrates resistant crusts, slicing evenly through even hard loaves of bread without crushing the delicate interior. The knife is also well suited for slicing tough, fibrous fruits, such as pineapples. Serrated-edge blades cannot easily be resharpened, but because the primary cutting surfaces are in the curved part of the scalloped edges, they tend to hold their cutting abilities quite well. Most of the Henckels lines--including the popular Four Star series--feature blades made of Friodur, a special, ice-hardened, no-stain steel created and patented by the company in 1939. This special formula was designed for exceptional hardness and high resistance to corrosion. Read more

• 8-inch serrated blade, great for slicing bread

very sharp
i bought this the other day on clearance at a local department store. i was kind of questioning it because for the fact that it was on clearance. turned out to be one of the best things i've bought this year. very sharp. for the price, makes it even better. i strongly recommend this item. good luck.

Great utility slicer, so-so for bread
This knife's best at slicing tomatoes and other veggies.It's a bit shortfor cutting big peasant loaves, and the straight blade makes it harder tocut at an angle down through the bread, since the sharp point, while greatfor starting a cut through an obstinate veggie skin, can get stuck in yourcutting board.The serrations work great, however, slicing through bothcrust and soft inner breadness.

Slicing Bread
After buying a bread machine, we now no longer buy our bread.Everyone (children and adults)cuts their own bread, at the table, to the slice thickness they prefer.With my old bread knives, the slices quite oftencame out looking like an ocean surface (waves and all).After upgrading tothis Henckel (to match my other Henckel knives), we can now all cutstraight slices.It doesn't matter if the bread just came out of the breadmachine (yum) or if the bread was baked yesterday.No longer is the Frenchbread (hard crusts) squashed while we try to slice it.This is definitelythe "best thing since sliced bread"! ...

Very nice knife
I suspect if I was a professional chef I would know the difference and buy the super expensive other brands, but for a recreational cook I find these knives to be supurb.The price is right, the balance and heft is great, and they hold a fine edge.I usually run them through a hand sharpener before I use them, and they are always razor sharp.To restore edges (I haven't had to do that yet with these knives) I use the "scary sharp" sandpaper on glass method.

Excellent knife
My grandparents always had quality knives when I was growing up.As I stocked my own kitchen, I searched for the best quality I could afford.I've tried Henkels and Chicago and both were disappointing.I bought this knife and was so impressed that I bought another and also bought one for my mother.It is superb in quality and comfort.I prefer the traditional handle over the contemporary handle.I put this knife in the diswasher and have had no problem with the handle.Great buy.

This is an excellent choice
Recently, I picked up this knife on sale at a local store and was very pleased with the quality and value it affords.I have long been a fan of Calphalon cookware and my impression now is that this same quality extends to their cutlery line as well.The blade was pretty sharp right out of the package, and with just a bit of work it was very sharp.The size and heft of this knife are very comfortable in my hand, and I find myself selecting this one from the knife drawer whenever I have a kitchen task where a full sized chef's knife would be overkill.I highly recommend this purchase! ...

Editorial Review

The 5-inch blade on this knife features slightly curved surfaces on both the back and the cutting edge, terminating in a wide point. The serrated edge is perfect for cutting and slicing soft products that have a firm skin, as this type of blade penetrates more easily than one with a smooth edge. This medium-size knife makes a handy and versatile kitchen tool for cooks of any ilk. Most of the Henckels lines--including the popular Four Star series--feature blades made of Friodur, a special, ice-hardened, no-stain steel created and patented by the company in 1939. This special formula was designed for exceptional hardness and high resistance to corrosion.Read more

I love all my Henckel knives, but this one is definitely the most versatile.It's 5" length and super sharp serrated blade make it ideal for vegetables as well as meats and smaller bread loaves.If you're not going to buy an entire set of quality knives, you really should have this one amongst the few you choose.

Outstanding Vegetable Knife
We have several top quality knife of different types but this relatively affordable serated knife is our first choice for chopping or slicing any sort of vegetables.My wife especially likes the feel of the handle and overall balance.

An amazing knife
I bought this knife as a replacement for a cheap one that we used for years but was finally too dull to keep. After using it, I can't figure out why I didn't buy this a long time ago. It's fantastic. The handle grip is terrific, you get great leverage and the blade is wicked sharp--it's almost scary. I own both Henckels and Wusthof, and to me the Wusthof is definitely the superior blade. I highly recommend this knife.

Absolutely Incredible
Warning: Prepare to waste a lot of bread! This knife will make you slice bread just for the fun of it. The weight of the knife alone is enough to cleanly cut even the thinnest slices, from any kind of bread.
I'm cookin' for a livin'...
One of my young ones received this as a gift and when it arrived at work we all just HAD to give it a try. We bake all of our breads from scratch and our crusty loaves surrendered meekly to this blade in two strokes no matter which recipe we attacked...it even sliced our house "Wonder Bread" sandwich loaves cleanly! This 9 inch is sooo much more versatile and heftier than the 8 inch ...size really does matter.Read more

Handiest Knife To Own
I own an 8-inch Wusthof Classic Chef's knife and a 6-inch Cook's knife, but I reach for this smaller, lightweight, serrated knife for many tasks. It's easier to wash, and I do wash it by hand and never put it in the dishwasher. It's terrific for cutting citrus fruit. The label does call it a sausage knife, so the reviewer who mentioned that is correct. I haven't tried it yet on sausage, but I'm sure it will work great for sausage, tomatoes, and narrow bread loaves. I even use it to dice onions. I have no regrets about adding this knife to my collection.

great knife!
This is one of my kitchen workhorses. Gets almost as much use as my chef's knife and paring knife. I use this for tomatoes, sandwiches, rolls, bagels, slicing oranges, etc. Performs perfectly. It's very sharp and well made. You really only need 3 to 5 knives, even for the most well-equiped kitchen, and in my kitchen this is one of my 5.

Bagels anyone?
Although a little pricey for a utility knife, this knife is a perfect addition to a starter set (I have the set #8832, includes chefs, bread, sandwich, parer, stick and shears).It cuts tomatoes and bagels like butter.It is one that you will reach for for those jobs that require delicate cutting (such as sausage without tearing the skin) without having to go for the more substantial knives.Read more

Editorial Review

High tech from tip to handle, Global knives from Japan created a sensation when they burst onto the world's culinary stage as an alternative to traditional European-style cutlery. Blades are made of hard molybdenum/vanadium stainless steel and "face-ground" with a long taper rather than a short bevel so edges remain sharp longer than even the best high-carbon stainless-steel knives. Edges also are ground at a more acute angle than traditional European-style knives and arrive from the factory razor-sharp. Although Global also makes a "heavyweight" line for cooks who prefer hefty knives, its original knives--of which this 8-3/4-inch bread knife, with a scalloped edge for slicing crusty loaves, is an example--have thinner blades and are lighter than traditional European-style knives. Global also dispensed with bolsters on its original knives to reduce weight. Balance is achieved by injecting a precise amount of sand for a particular blade style into a hollow handle. To ensure balance is continuous, the sand flows inside the handle as a blade is maneuvered. A finger notch between blade and handle provides safety. Read more

Features

• Lightweight, precisely balanced 8-3/4-inch bread knife
• Blade made of high-tech molybdenum/vanadium stainless steel
• Edge retains razor sharpness exceptionally well
• Stainless-steel handle molded for comfort, dimpled for safe grip
• Lifetime warranty against defects and breakage

It Slices, it Dices
Global knives are really awesome.This knife is amazingly sharp.Due to my own carelessness, I have actually cut my finger twice with this knife.I can assure you it goes through bread and finger with ease.
The ultimate wedding gift
My Global has been slicing bread for three years now and guests still comment that it's "a really sharp knife".A low-carb disbeliever, and living near Seattle bakeries that are serious about their product, I eat lots of bread.Much mileage on the knife and it still melts through hard-crust Toscano Loaves like they were Wonderbread.Two more of these knives have been purchased for wedding gifts.Followup shows that the newlywed recipients didn't know that there were special knives just for cutting bread and are using this wonderful knife for cutting up everything. And love it.

Editorial Review

The handles on Twin Signature cutlery feature the traditional three rivets and visible full tang, and are stylishly curved not only to feel good but look more contemporary. And, for a spot of color, the red Zwilling logo is permanently embedded in one side. Like all premium knives from Zwillings J.A. Henckels, the upscale partner of Henckels International, the Twin Signature blades are Friodur ice-hardened, made from high-carbon, no-stain steel, and are laser-sharpened for a durable edge. Stamped rather than forged, the knives do not feature bolsters, which makes them lighter than most.Read more

Features

• 8-inch Twin Signature offset bread knife
• Friodur ice-hardened blade made from high-carbon, no-stain steel
• Serrated edge and offset position cut through thick crusty bread
• Stylishly curved 3-rivet, full-tang handle; no bolster for lightness
• Made in Germany; wash by hand; lifetime warranty

Editorial Review

A crusty loaf yields easily to this tough knife, whose serrations are big enough to rate--in knife-speak--as "scallops." Classic three-rivet handles distinguish Pro S from Henckels' other quality lines: TwinStar, Five Star, and Four Star. Pro S handles are heavier and its knives less weight-forward. The steel used in the Pro S line is identical to that of the Five and Four Star lines. High-tech welding of larger knives combines three steel types into what appears to be a single piece, so a knife's parts have distinct characteristics: a hard edge; a strong, stain-resistant bolster; a stain- and corrosion-resistant tang. Traditionalists insist on single-piece forging for strength, but Henckels says the invisible welds are actually stronger than the steel. While this bread knife is dishwasher-safe, hand washing is recommended. Read more

• Serrated for slicing bread
• High-tech welded, high-carbon stainless-steel blade

Excellent knife
Excellent ability to cut breads. Only drawback is that it's a bit too long for our knife block. Just double check on the length of your knife block if this concerns you.

Nice, but not worth 65.00
When I was washing the knife I noticed that the fine edge on the serrations had bent over to the non-scalloped side of the blade. I guess i found this a little irritating since i spent a fortune on this knife. It cuts bread fine, but i would not purchase again if i had the choice.

lesser of the 2 Henckels bread knives
A fine knife for most bread but when cutting large, tough loaves it has trouble "finishing" off the bottom of the crust.A better design is a knife with a slight curve, and sure enough Henckels has one of those as well.If you like hearty, thick crusted bread, then spend a few more dollars and buy the 9" instead. ...

Does the job, tip very useful, canning season will tell.
This knife will probably last forever, but the sharpness was a disappointment and I felt the serrations were too widely spaced. When coring, cutting, seeding, skinning bushels of tomatoes, the knife is important.
Very Nice
Definitely a nice knife.I really like the unibody and the blade is very sharp.Clean cutting knife.

Knife Expert Approved; Multi-Functional and Durable
I am a stage performer as well as a chef. I specialize in contortion and throwing knives (often with my feet). I use the Wusthof so much in the kitchen, that I thought I would incorporate it into my act. I throw the knives at flying fruit and vegis and perform flips with knives between my toes and fling them at my assistants. Throwing knives are usually smaller, perfectly balanced, and forged from one solid piece. They require perfect tang as well and incredible strength. Wusthof is the ONLY high-end kitchen knife that meets these requirements.
Usual High Quality from Wusthof
You can only slice crunchy crusts with a serrated blade. So obviously this is your best bet for slicing bread. But, I use my Wusthof Bread knife for cutting frozen meats and it works great for that too. Good Knife, Check Length
There are really two main competitors in the high-end mainstream kitchen knife market:Henckels and Wusthof.Those who have used both usually have a preference.My preference (and therefore bias you should know about) is for the Wusthofs.Read more
