Precision-Forged Bread Knife

The Wusthof Classic Ikon 9 Inch Double Serrated Bread Knife is a precision-forged tool for home cooks and professionals who need clean slices through crusty loaves, soft fruits, and firm cheeses. Its specialised edge handles tough exteriors and delicate interiors without tearing.

Single-Piece Steel Construction

Forged from a single piece of chromium-molybdenum-vanadium steel, the blade offers structural integrity from tip to bolster. The composite handle is shaped for a secure grip, and the full-tang design ensures balance during repetitive slicing tasks on a cutting board.

Double Serrated Edge Benefit

The double serrated edge retains sharpness longer than standard serrations and reduces the frequency of professional sharpening. This geometry allows the knife to glide through hard crusts and ripe tomatoes alike, minimising crumbs and preserving food texture.

Questions about this item

How does the double serrated edge affect slicing performance on crusty bread?

The double serrated edge grips tough crusts and cuts cleanly without crushing the soft interior, handling breads, meats and cheeses with precision.

What handle dimensions and material should I expect for grip and balance?

The composite handle measures 1.2 width by 1 height and contributes to the knife's 0.72 weight for balanced control.

What is the correct way to maintain the forged chromium-molybdenum-vanadium steel blade?

Hand wash and dry immediately after use; avoid dishwashers to preserve the precision-forged edge and prevent corrosion on the high-carbon steel.
