I can cut the bakery bread into very thin slices if I want with this knife. Expensive but it will last a long time.

I had a J.A. Henckels Chef’s knife that was a step up from what I had used before but after seeing the Pioneer Women http://thepioneerwoman.com/ use this Wusthof Classic Nakiri Vegetable Knife with Hollow Edge knife for a recipe at her website I ordered one as it looked effortless when she was cutting vegetables. Neat site she has.
When I received the knife I bought some carrots and celery and it was effortless. It was like a razor thru the vegetables. Not a chore anymore.

I ordered some additional knives from Wusthof as a result.
Very sharp..... All slice thru anything. Buy quality and it will pay off.
I bought several Wusthof knives. The Classic 5.5-inch Sandwich Knife, Wusthof Gourmet 4-Piece Steak Knife Set and Wusthof 4152 Classic 9-inch Double Serrated Bread Knife bread knife, Wusthof Classic Ikon 5-Inch Serrated Utility Knife along with the Wusthof 17 Slot Walnut Storage Block.
I like the cool metallic scraping sound sound the knives make as I either insert or pull them out of the storage block. The grocery store utility knife I have just makes a dull thunk.
I used to cater and we had wusthof and henkels knives for the company. I liked the 8 inch chef’s knife. However my personal preference is Old Hickory. We received a set for a wedding present 38 years ago and they are still in excellent condition. Being carbon steel they require extra care but they sharpen like a razor and hold the edge really well. I am a fanatic about my knives. lol They are for kitchen use, for food only, and must be washed, dried, oiled, and put away immediately after use. Don’t let me catch someone opening a box with one!!! I expect my knives will pass on to a family member when I die. I hope whoever gets them takes care of them! lol https://ontarioknife.com/cutlery/old-hickory
