Amazon.com Review
This medium-size bread knife from Wüsthof's premier line, Grand Prix, has the perfect serrated blade for cutting all types of bread, from crusty French bread to soft homemade or firm rye breads. You'll love the effortless cutting that a truly sharp blade can give you. No more sawing away! Wüsthof's Grand Prix line improves upon its Classic line by adding an ergonomically designed handle and a contemporary look. Each Grand Prix implement is forged by hand from a single piece of high-quality carbon steel, using a 38-step process. A full tang--a single piece of steel from the tip of the knife to the end of the handle--gives each piece a balanced feel, superior strength, and lifetime durability. Peer into the private kitchens of professional chefs, and chances are you'll see Wüsthof knives. Wüsthof-Trident understands the art of the knife. --Amy Adams

I never thought that I could fall in love with cutlery. But after having used the Grand Prix knives for a year, and having them stay as sharp as new, and cut so effortlessly, I have to say that I'm truly enamoured, and it's made my time in the kitchen so much more pleasant, that I'm becoming a better cook, just because I like to find new things to try out just so I can carve and cut them.

I did a lot of research before purchasing my Wusthof knives. The Wusthof Grand Prix line is consistently rated #1 by Consumer Reports. The bread knife did not come in my set, so I purchased it separately. Great investment! This knife goes through bread like, pardon the pun, a hot knife through butter. Wusthof is impeccable quality and very much worth the extra price. My next purchase will be the 5-inch serrated utility knife. Highly recommended!

There are really two main competitors in the high-end mainstream kitchen knife market: Henckels and Wusthof. Those who have used both usually have a preference. My preference (and therefore bias you should know about) is for the Wusthofs.The Wusthof Grand Prix line is a more modern design than the Classic series, with a simple black handle. The balance and grip of these knives are as close to perfect as I have found. For those wondering what benefits a higher priced knife provides, one benefit is that the blade (or tang) is one piece all the way through the handle. This makes the blade much stronger, and less likely to snap. This particular model, the bread knife, is a great knife. Many people think tomatoes are the hardest food items to clearly cut. I think bread is much more difficult; but this knife makes the task seem easy. I highly recommend the Wusthof 9" bread knife.
