Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Victorinox 47547 10-1/4-Inch Wavy Bread Knife, Black Fibrox Handle
Customer Review: A Bread Scalpel
Summary: 5 Stars
Sometimes you don't know how good something is until you try something else. At Christmas time I make a bread-like "cake" that has candied fruit and nuts in it and is frosted all over. It's not an easy thing to cut cleanly without the sharpest of knives. This was proven again today when I needed to bring only half of one of my cakes to my friend's house.
At home, I was able to use my Forschner bread knife to cut the cake in half, and what a fantastic job it did - a nice clean cut that showed off the texture of the cake beautifully. When I got to my friend's house and had to cut it into slices, what a disaster. Even with the very best knife she had, the best I could do was hack off a few slices. The difference between the Forschner and her knife was like the difference between a scalpel and a chainsaw.
I've been very pleased with all the Forschner knives that I own, and would highly recommend them to anyone. I'm not a professional cook and do not use my knives for hours on end, but for a home cook, the quality of the edge and the ease of maintaining the edge, as well as the wonderful fit of the handle to my particular hand, makes these knives the best value available.
Customer Review: A Great Knife
Summary: 5 Stars
I read reviews about the Forschner and wondered, do I really need another bread knife? I bought it and realized that, yes, I really did! Slices very thin and even. I love it and use it whenever I can. I also use this knife to score the tops of my artisan bread before baking. My son used it and now he wants one, too.
p.s. My other bread knives are history.
Customer Review: A Wonderful Knife!
Summary: 5 Stars
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.Customer Review: A good bread knife, but...
Summary: 4 Stars
This knife is light-weight, comfortable to use, and the blade cuts through bread easily without tearing it. The only problem is that it's beveled on one side only, which means that it naturally pulls to one side. I have to be careful to apply the right amount of pressure to keep it slicing straight. A disappointing flaw in what would have been the perfect bread knife!Customer Review: A great bread knife
Summary: 5 Stars
This knife has a great grip, cleans easily, and is quite sharp. It cuts through crusty sourdough bread without crushing or tearing it, and you could probably use it all day without any trouble.
