Fabulous knife at an amazing price! January 17, 2010
Gluten-Free Foodie (MN United States)
I've owned one of these knives for 8+ years and love it so much that I recently purchased another as a gift for my college-age nephew. The serrations on this knife are concave, and as a result, the blade immediately "bites" into whatever you are cutting. (Convex-edged knives have a tendency to slip until they've penetrated the crust or outer surface of the food.) After more than eight years of frequent use, the blade is still in excellent condition. It is every bit as good as a knife costing three or four times the price.
One more note: I have Victorinox knives with both rosewood and Fibrox handles. Although the rosewood handles feel great in the hand and look beautiful, the Fibrox handles do give you a better grip. That's not as critical an issue with a knife used mainly to slice bread, but if you're looking to buy a chef's knife for cutting hard foods like winter squash, I would go with the Fibrox.
Wow, this one is a keeper! October 8, 2009

Although I'm a Wusthof man, I've never been disappointed by a Victorinox/Forschner knife, and this bread knife is no exception. The perfect length, it's one of the sharpest ones in the block. It can also double as a turkey knife. The handle feels good, even in large hands. Strongly recommended for both quality and value.

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.

Does what it's supposed to do, cuts bread. Not everything for sale actually does what it's supposed to, so that is worth saying. It's up to Victorinox standards and the price is reasonable. Enough said.
Best Bread Knife Ever! August 31, 2009

I looked and looked for a good bread knife before I became familiar with the Victorinox knives. I absolutely love this knife - it works great with soft and hard breads. I used to have a problem slicing soft bread loaves as the knife wouldn't cut and would smash/squash the bread - this knife doesn't - just be sure and use a sawing motion - don't try to cut straight through. This knive is also great for bagles - however, use extreme caution as these knives are extremely sharp so always cut away from yourself and use a cutting board (especially when slicing something like a bagle if you value your thumbs or that little fatty part of your hand below the thumb - OUCH!! stitches hurt!!).
