Great bread knife.
Bought because I needed a larger bread knife. I have been buying homemade sourdough bread and it just needs a larger blade. This worked great. Only problem was that I needed a new knife block.

Hooked on Henkel's
We used to buy all sorts of nice knives, but realized we always ended up using just the Henkels so now we only buy Henkel's. We love their ergonomics, durability and ability to maintain sharpness.

Like the oldies
I really liked my old knife better. The handle on the old knife was easier to grip.

Handle too small
Handle is way too small for the size of the blade, I will not be buying any more.

Great knife
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Cuts well and stays sharp. Only downside is it did not come with a sheath, which would have been handy for storage.

Great Knife
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I purchased this bread knife for my wife as a Christmas gift. We've had a set of knives from another manufacturer that included a bread knife. We haven't been happy with that knife for a while. We used this knife to slice bagels and it was a pleasure. this knife sliced right through them, unlike our old knife. So far we are very very pleased.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is my 2nd Bread Knife, I received as a gift from my family. My 1st knife just like this one was a gift to our family and we used everyday while our children grew up and had children of their own. Such a wonderful tool in our kitchen, I had sharpened over the years, however I still use and it has lasted 40 yrs, yes 40 yrs.

Worth it!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] You might wonder why you need such an expensive knife to cut bread, I get it. Once the handle hugs your hand upon picking it up, once you experience the well balanced control and make your first slice, you’ll know exactly why you need more than a bargain priced knife to slice bread.

Excellent
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I didn’t have any trouble cutting with this knife. I recently had surgery for carpal tunnel release, and I found this knife easy to hold and control.

8” bread knike
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I purchased this knife because I’m a Henckels knife user already and know they are quality products. I’m very satisfied with my existing knife set and expect to be pleased with this bread knife addition. It’s well built and has a nice feel to it when using it.

8” Bread Knife
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I needed to replace our old bread knife. Without even thinking I choose Henckels as my replacement. Now all my kitchen knives are Henckels brand. Now I’ve gotta learn how to cook.
