Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Victorinox Cutlery 8-Inch Wavy Edge Bread Knife, Black Fibrox Handle

Customer Review: Excellent bread knife
Summary: 5 Stars

We bought this based on a recommendation (of the longer 10" version) from America's Test Kitchen. We bake our own bread (dough produced from a Panasonic SD-YD205 breadmaker) and this knife cuts through the loaves almost like they were butter! After a little initial resistance requiring a sawing motion to get through the top crust, I can "slice" the bread by merely applying some downward force, with hardly any sawing motion required.

This is only the second bread knife we've owned; it replaced a Farberware (I think - the name has rubbed off by now) we bought for $10 at a Lechter's store about 11 years ago. The difference is amazing. With the Farberware (even when it was new) slicing a loaf required a considerable sawing motion and downward pressure. This Victorinox is just so much easier, even when the bread is fresh out of the oven and the crust is very hard and crispy.

The blade is thinner and lighter than the Farberware as well. The thinness makes it a little easier to use with the Cherry Bread Slicer as the blade fits more easily into the knife slot.

I've previously read that a bread knife should be heavy to help in cutting even slices, but even without the bread slicer, I can cut relatively straight slices. In fact, if I'd had this knife before I bought the slicer, I might not have purchased it.

Description of Victorinox Cutlery 8-Inch Wavy Edge Bread Knife, Black Fibrox Handle

The R H Forschner by Victorinox 8-inch Bread with Wavy Edge Knife features high carbon, stainless steel blade, hand finished at Victorinox in Switzerland by skilled craftsmen. A special tempering process is used to produce an edge that can be resharpened over and over again, so the knife can keep its original sharpness throughout the entire life of the blade. Victorinox handles are ergonomically designed to minimize wrist tension. They provide a natural fit. A good heft and comfortable, positive grip are indications of a well-made knife. A sure-grip handle with a finger guard is valuable feature since the handle inevitably gets greasy, wet, or both. Although cutlery steel is naturally sanitary, materials and construction details of the handle minimize crevices what would offer hospitality to bacteria.
