A bread knife thinly slices foods that are hard on the outside, soft on the inside. Wusthof uses a single piece of chrome-molybdenum steel to forge the Wusthof 1040101020 Classic Bread Knife. Forging makes the metal harder, so the knife stays sharp longer. This knife has a bolster (the thick metal section between the blade and the handle) which protects the fingers and gives the knife a solid, balanced feel and heft. It also has a full tang. Specifically, that means the forged metal extends to the end of the handle for maximum strength and balance. Wusthof hones the knives twice and also uses lasers to test the sharpness, Wusthof produces these knives to be extremely sharp. Computer-controlled grinding and polishing procedures result in a precise tapering from bolster to tip and from back to edge. The blade is stainless will remain sharp for a long time.
