Bread Knife Wüsthof Amici 23 cm — serrated blade for slicing loaves

The Wüsthof Amici 23 cm bread knife features a 23 cm serrated blade engineered for clean, even slices of loaves, baguettes and crusty bread. Designed for everyday kitchen use, this knife pairs a long, scalloped edge with a balanced full-tang construction to deliver steady cutting performance. An ergonomic handle provides a secure grip for controlled slicing and safe handling while preparing and serving bread.

Advantages

The serrated blade design cuts through hard crusts without crushing the soft interior, preserving crumb structure and presentation. The long 23 cm blade covers the length of most loaves, allowing single-pass slices and reducing the need for sawing motions. The handle shape is contoured to fit the hand comfortably, improving control during repetitive tasks. Materials and finishing ensure corrosion resistance and easy maintenance for regular home use.

Suitable for

• Slicing sandwich loaves and artisan breads
• Cutting baguettes and long rolls
• Portioning crusty sourdough and country loaves
• Preparing bread for serving at meals and gatherings

Key specifications

How to use

Hold the bread knife with a comfortable grip on the ergonomic handle and stabilize the loaf with your other hand while keeping fingers clear of the blade path. Use long, gentle back-and-forth motions along the serrated edge to slice through crusts without excessive downward pressure. For best results, let the knife do the work: perform smooth, controlled strokes rather than rapid sawing. Clean and dry the knife after each use to maintain edge condition and prevent corrosion.

Usage recommendations

For even slices, start at one end of the loaf and use the full length of the 23 cm blade in a single continuous stroke when possible. Avoid cutting frozen loaves with this serrated knife; partially thaw before slicing. Store the knife in a block or on a magnetic strip to protect the blade and maintain cutting performance.
