What it is
The Wüsthof Gourmet Bread Knife 20cm is a premium kitchen knife designed for clean, effortless slicing of all types of bread without crushing the soft interior. Featuring a 20cm laser-cut stainless steel serrated blade and an ergonomic triple-riveted synthetic handle, it combines lightweight handling with the renowned quality of Wüsthof's German craftsmanship. Manufactured in Solingen, Germany, it is an essential knife for both home cooks and professionals.
