Crafted for Crusts, Perfected for Precision
Meet the Wusthof Crafter 23cm Bread Knife; the one you'll reach for every time a loaf comes out of the oven. Forged in Solingen, Germany, from a single piece of Wusthof steel and finished with smoked oak handles and solid brass rivets, this knife is as beautiful as it is hardworking.
Designed for bakers, entertainers, and anyone who loves a good loaf, the Crafter Bread Knife features a double-serrated edge, meaning serrations within serrations, a detail that keeps the blade sharper for longer and makes slicing effortless. It glides through crusty sourdough, soft brioche, and everything in between without crushing or tearing. Strong, reliable, and full of character. It's a knife that's built to work hard and look good doing it.

FAQs
What makes a double-serrated edge better than a regular serrated one?
The finer inner serrations cut more cleanly and stay sharp longer. They glide through crusts with less pressure and no tearing, keeping your slices neat and your loaves intact.
Is it only for bread?
Not at all. This knife is brilliant for cutting through cakes, pavlovas, roast meats with crackling, and even large fruits like watermelon or pineapple.
Does the Crafter handle need special care?
Just hand wash and dry straight away. A light rub with food-safe oil every so often keeps the oak nourished and looking gorgeous.
Can I use it every day?
Absolutely. It's made for daily use; robust, balanced, and designed to perform year after year.
- Wash by hand and immediately towel dry.
- Avoid using abrasive sponges or leaving your knife soaking in the sink.
- Avoid cutting on hard surfaces such as metal, glass or hardwoods like bamboo.
- Regular honing is essential to keep your knife performing at its best.
- Sharpen as needed using a whetstone, sharpening steel, or hand-held knife sharpener.
- Treat wooden handles periodically using a food-grade mineral oil to polish and restore the wood to its original luster.
