Product Details
With its distinct double-serrated edge, the WÜSTHOF Classic 9" Double-Serrated Bread Knife is a classic among knives, and one of the more important knives to have in your kitchen. Beyond crusty loaves of bread and soft dinner rolls, this 9" Double-Serrated Bread Knife is also perfect for slicing into hard-skinned fruits and vegetables, and even for carving larger roasts. The bread knife's double-serrated edge makes a clear difference: the blade has serrations within the serrations, meaning it remains sharp for longer and requires minimal pressure for clean, even cuts.

Frequently Bought Together

When you use a WÜSTHOF knife, you can be sure that you are holding one of world’s best kitchen tools in your hand.

We have been developing and manufacturing our products in Solingen, Germany, the “City of Blades,” since 1814 – loyalty that pays off in the quality and reliability of our family business, knife by knife.

Other Knives
Material Premium forged steel engineered for lasting strength and corrosion resistance. Often stamped or made from standard steel blends that may sacrifice durability or rust resistance.
Sharpness 20% sharper than standard knives, thanks to laser-guided PEtec technology. Factory-sharpened blades that start strong but dull faster and lack precision honing.
Craftsmanship Hand-finished in Solingen, Germany with 200+ years of expertise and precision in every detail. Mass-produced or partially outsourced craftsmanship that lacks the same heritage and consistency.
Corrosion Resistance
 Exceptional rust resistance for a blade that stays beautiful for decades. Prone to staining or rust if not carefully maintained—especially with frequent kitchen use.
Edge Retention Stays sharper twice as long as ordinary knives, reducing the need to re-sharpen. Edges wear faster over time, requiring more frequent sharpening and touch-ups.
Limited Lifetime Warranty Limited lifetime warranty – a promise backed by generations of quality. Lifetime coverage may exist, but with less transparency and variable service depending on the brand.

Questions? We Have Answers

What sets WÜSTHOF knives apart from other brands?

WÜSTHOF is one of the few brands permitted to use the label “Made in Solingen” on our knives rather than the less restricted “Made in Germany.” Solingen, Germany is the steel manufacturing capital of the world and, as such, needed to take precautionary measures against fraudulent products bearing the prestigious name, “Solingen.” In 1938, Solingen became the only city in the world whose name is a registered trademark. To bear the name Solingen, all key manufacturing stages must have been processed and finished within Solingen, and the product must meet strict quality standards. This means that even cutlery manufactured entirely within Solingen’s town boundary may not be entitled to bear the name Solingen if it does not meet these required quality standards.

Some of our competitors use the label “Made in Germany,” which does not carry the same significance. We have the honor of labeling our products “Made in Solingen.”

What is Precision Edge Technology (PEtec)

WÜSTHOF’s proprietary state-of-the-art technology incorporates a computer-controlled method for putting the edge on forged knives. Using laser-guided precision, our knives are 20% sharper with twice the edge retention. All forged knives are manufactured using PEtec.

What do the numbers printed on my blade mean?

The number etched on your blade indicates the year it was made — just add “20” in front of it.

In some cases, you might see a second number, which shows the blade length in centimeters.

There is no item number printed on the blade.

Examples:

• “25” means the blade was made in 2025.

• “22 / 20” means the blade was made in 2022 and is 20 cm long.

What is the difference between forged and laser-cut stamped knives?

Forged knives go through over 40 steps in our factory to create the top quality blades WÜSTHOF has to offer. Forged knives include a bolster, which helps to balance the knife. Laser-cut stamped blades go through 14 steps in our factory, and are more economically priced. They are lighter in weight, and do not have a bolster.

What are the most important knives to start a set?

The most important knife in any kitchen is the chef’s knife, and after that, it depends on your own personal preferences when cooking.

How do I keep my knives sharp?

WÜSTHOF knives can be honed and sharpened using a hand-held sharpener, an electric sharpener, a sharpening or honing steel, or a whetstone. We recommend using the same brand sharpener as your knife collection, to ensure that the material used is the correct hardness for the steel on your knives. Our sharpening angle for standard blades is 14˚ per side, and for Asian-style blades (Santokus, Nakiris) is 10˚ per side. We offer a variety of sharpening products with pre-set angles.

Reviews

My Blueberry Beauty

"Sour dough bread is always challenging to cut through. My new Wüstoff double serated knife is a dream. 💙"

— Susie C. (5/5)

Incredible -- Precise & Clean Cuts

"This knife is a problem. It makes me want to eat more bread, because it gives me an excuse to slice these pristine and flawless slices. Minimal, if any, crumbs left over on my cutting board because the cut is so clean, even with the crustiest of breads."

— kunal o. (5/5)

Best in recent years

"I once had an old breadknife which had a fine saw blade edge and cut beautifully. I replaced it with the ‘wrong’ knife! The double serrated WÜSTHOF comes very close but is more hygienic and does cut very well indeed."

— Alistair G. (5/5)

Excellent

"This cuts through a crusty loaf with ease. I love the colour grey. Great quality."

— Theresa N. (5/5)

Q&A

What is the handle made off?, it's wood or poly or plastic?? Thank you
Our Classic series has a synthetic handle made of POM (polyoxymethylene). For further information, please contact our Sales Support Team at 800.289.9878 or info@wusthof.com
All knives have to eventually be sharpened. Can most knife sharpeners sharpen this double seration?
Lana, We always recommend a professional sharpening service for any of our serrated or scalloped-edge knives. It's important to have the professional equipment and expertise to properly sharpen a serrated edge. You can use a honing steel periodically to realign burrs on the serrations, but will need professional sharpening when your serrated knives need to be sharpened. If you have further questions, please reach out to our Sales Support Team directly at info@wusthof.com
I am left handed. Is this knife serrated on both sides so that it cuts as well when used in a left hand?
All of our serrated blades are flat on the left side (the side with our company logo) and serrated on the right side. For further information, please reach out directly to our Customer Support Team.
