A Wonderful Knife! Jul 26, 2010
I've put up with an inferior bread knife for too long! This thing is 4X as sharp and powerful! WARNING you could literally cut off a finger if not being careful. Works for way more than bread - tomatoes, cooked mushrooms, soft cheese, you name it.
 Blade is really only 9 and 3/4 inches long Jul 25, 2010
This is a very nice knife. It's well-made and comfortable to use (even though I have relatively small hands for a man).
It works extremely well with lighter breads, whiffing through them with ease. With heavier, dense breads (like, say, a honey whole-wheat loaf), it does have a tendency to veer off to the side as the blade nears the bottom of the slice (the serrations are on the right side of the knife as you hold it, blade down, pointing away from you) unless you use some extra downward force when cutting.
HOWEVER ... the actual length of the blade on this knife (the sharp side) is about 9.75 inches (that's approximately 24.75 centimeters for you metric-loving folk).
Best bread knife I ever used Jul 25, 2010
Sure it's big -- huge, really -- but boy can it cut. I'm very satisfied.
great knife Jul 14, 2010
This is a great knife! It is by far the best bread knife I have ever used. It is very sharp and very comfortable. It is larger than I expected it to be.
 Now, This Is Not a Knife! Jul 12, 2010
My Wusthof bread knife just wouldn't hold a sharp edge any more. Twenty years of slicing, steeling and sharpening wore it out. I had to get a new bread knife. This had a lot of good reviews, and the blade is long enough to cut a rustic loaf. Besides, Victorinox makes Swiss Army knives, and I love mine. I thought I had a winner.
I expect it to last maybe a month or two. The blade is sharp, but not super sharp, and after a few uses, I can tell it's beginning to dull already; a steel won't sharpen it, only straighten the blade the slightest bit. The knife is far too lightweight. There is no balance, no sense of where the knife wants to move to make the next slice, like my Wusthof. The blade feels sort of flimsy, and the handle is awful. Victorinox describes it as ergonomic, but it isn't. The handle is very small, and practically weightless. It is not easy to grip, and does nothing to aid the blade in making the slice.
You may be thinking, why didn't I buy another Wusthof? Well, I didn't love it, either; it was OK. I thought, let me replace it with a knife that works better. This is not better. It is not a quality knife at all. I'll be buying another bread knife (any suggestions?), because I'm afraid this one will slip and something or someone could be hurt.
