VictorinoxSwiss Classic, Pastry Knife, Extra Sharp Blade, Wavy Edge, 22 cm, Stainless Steel, Black

Bought because it had none of the 1 and 2 star reviews for poor quality of all other knives viewed as I was specifically looking for a knife to cut sourdough loaves. The blade is thin but strong, serrated and firmly fixed in its handle. So far I've used it successfully to cut sourdough (very hard crusts) fresh baked French sticks (with no tearing) fresh baked wholemeal loaves (thin, accurate slices possible) cold meats on non-metallic board and tomatoes (very thin slices possible) altogether the perfect knife!

Super sharp! Cut myself 3 times in the first 2 days 🤣 be careful!! Great knives for veg prep and more!

Very pleased with this knife. I bought this to replace my Zwilling bread knife which I had for many years but was too short for wide loaves and had become blunt. This Victorinox knife is comfortable to hold and not too heavy but plenty long enough for cob loaves. Sliced firm sourgh dough loaf very easily and straight through the tough lower crust. Just what I was after and great that they offer different length blades. I was also keen to get a round tipped knife which I feel is safer and less likely to cut up the bread board.

Quality like no other, glides through the bread

Perfect for cutting my homemade sourdough bread. Very strong and has clean cut. Would recommend

Perhaps an inch or two smaller than what we are used to. Once you get used to it, it's as good as..

Practically every Chef I work alongside or know has a version of this knife (as well as the little serrated tomato knife - they are the mutts nuts, get a few you won’t look back)!! This version is slightly shorter than the bread style knife which in my opinion is better for my needs and the handle is better formed. Comfortable and very easy to use. Superb price and it will take a serious amount of punishment. Doesn’t cost the earth and is easily replaceable without costing the earth. Very sharp out of the pack it will tend to most kitchen requirements, I’d be wary and extra careful for a few weeks until the “factory sharpness “ has faded slightly, a serrated edge cut is a bugger to stop flowing and heal over a clean straight edged blade. A really must have knife in the set. Superb price, superb product.

Got this to replace my Mercer bread knife, which is just too wide and angled harshly to the left. The thinner straighter blade of this Victorinox pastry knife has me cutting dead straight bread slices with no crumbs everywhere. Technique still matters - I found Bake with Jack how to slice bread useful - and knife matters a LOT.
