Product Details

As one of the most important knives to own, the WÜSTHOF Urban Farmer 9” Bread Knife glides through crunchy crusts while keeping the soft interior intact. This bread knife is a well-balanced, comfortable tool which can slice more cleanly than knives with a straight edge for fruits and vegetables with a tough skin and soft interior.

Urban Farmer is a unique series of knives inspired by the garden to table movement. It’s a collection that celebrates using fresh, homegrown produce and reconnects us to our food. These knives are designed for city dwellers with a passion for farm-fresh food, home gardening, and cooking with wholesome, natural ingredients. Distinctive, ergonomically shaped wood handles are exceptionally sturdy, comfortable to hold, and beautifully express the collection's farm to table ethos. Made of sustainably grown, FSC-certified European Beechwood, the handles – secured with two stainless steel rivets – are heat-treated to ensure an uncoated, but extremely durable and water-resistant natural handle.

Frequently Bought Together

	WÜSTHOF Knives	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.
Lifetime Warranty	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?

We print two numbers on our blades, one is our item number and the other is the “run” number so that we can identify knives that came from the same run in our factory. Some blades have a cross-hatch pattern on them instead of a run number. This is another way we code and identify blades.

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.
