Love how this looks on my table next to my wooden bread board. Cuts through the crustiest breads, and gentle enough to torte cakes and slice my favorite Angel Food Cake. One piece design makes slicing through watermelon a breeze. High Carbon German Steel is used in the best quality knives and is what Henckel's is known for. Although I won't put this in the dishwasher, it is ok, so I don't have to worry about my husband tossing it in when I'm not around

Until you have a good bread knife you don't know what you are missing. With all the terrific artisan-style breads available to us these days, a bread knife has become an essential knife in our daily routine. Leave it dedicated to cutting bread and sandwiches, maybe an occasional fruit or head of lettuce, and it will deliver beautiful slices of bread to you for almost forever. The serrated edge lasts that long if you take care of it. Never thought I would be a fan of an all metal knife. But like many things these days, I'm an old dog learning new tricks. This knife - this entire line - rocks! And it looks good too! These are fully forged knives - a sign of top quality. They are made with one of Zwilling's proprietary steels - so they won't stain, they will stay sharp. And they are designed for comfort with optimal sized grips for most people. They are also lighter than most knives. So if weight is an issue for you, you will like these knives. Great value!

I bought the set less than a month ago and the serrated knife blade snapped in two on its second use. Please replace ASAP
