LONG BLADE KNIVES – SPECIALISTS

Long blade knives

In this article, we will introduce you to knives that have a blade length of at least 20 centimetres. It is obvious that long blades are particularly well-suited to larger ingre-dients, but these knives excel in different areas too, as you will find out:

Super Slicer: the cut-anything knife

There are some ingredients that demand a truly exceptional knife: the tough skin of a pineapple, for example, or the stalk of an artichoke. And the Super Slicer can easily handle both: the convex, outwardly shaped serrations of the blade ensure pow-erful and clean cuts - even with very fibrous, tough foods.

Salmon knife: sharp and flexible

Granted, there isn’t always a suitable knife for every possible situation. But, if you have a whole salmon in front of you, or at least half of one, you'll love this blade. The Salmon knife is very long, sharp and flexible, so you don't tear the fine flesh of the fish and you can cut wafer-thin slices.

Ham knife: also suitable as a carving knife

Of course we have the right speciality knife in our range when it comes to smaller hams. Thanks to its long, narrow blade, the Ham knife is also suitable as a carving knife, as you can use it to carve up roasts, hams or poultry – whether raw or cooked – very efficiently.

brotmesser — Bread knife with double-serration: cuts twice as well

Whether hard crust or soft crumb, the double-serrated pattern edge allows exceptionally smooth, clean and precise cuts and prevents the blade from slipping off at an angle. In addition, with this Bread knife you need to use much less force when slicing than with conventional blades from this category.

konditormesser — Baker's knife: not just for cakes

Cakes, pies, crisp puff pastry, large loaves of bread or firm desserts – with this Baker's knife you can cut, slice and serve them all. And not just sweet treats: the ingenious concave waves can handle even the toughest foods, so with this kitchen jack-of-all-trades you can even effectively prep things like large cabbages or heads of lettuce.

schinkenmesser — Ham knife with dimples

The dimples in this Ham knife create small air cushions between the steel and the ingredient, which prevents greasy or sticky foods from sticking to the blade. Fruit and vegetables, but of course also ham, can be cut into wafer-thin slices with this knife.

Bread knife 23 cm / 9"

WÜSTHOF’s precise, double-serrated edge makes a clear difference with this bread knife: in contrast with a single-serrated edge, this knife has serrations within the serrations, meaning that it remains sharp for longer, requires less pressure and is suitable for very precise, smooth cuts. Bread with a hard crust is not crushed when sliced with this double-serrated blade, while bread with a soft crust is also sliced cleanly, without any tearing of the delicate surface.

Classic

Confectioner's knife

The ideal knife for baking, icing and cutting pies, tarts or cakes: what distinguishes the ambitious hobby baker from the casual baker is creativity, care - and the right tools. With its long, serrated and very light blade, this professional baker’s or pastry knife cuts extremely cleanly through cakes and tarts and makes slicing cakes horizontally easy too. The straight side of the Bakers Knife is also ideal for spreading icing or creamy toppings over large areas.

Epicure

Carving knife 23 cm / 9"

The Ham Slicer has earned its name: its shape and sharpness are designed to cut very thin slices of hard ingredients, especially from hams. These qualities make this knife ideally suited to fruit and vegetables and other meats too, as well as for carving roasts.
