Wusthof Gourmet Super Slicer, 10-inch (26 cm), Wavy Edge - 4519 Usuba It makes a great startingReverse scallops on the edge allow this large thin bladed knife to cut aggressively. Perfect for use as a bread knife or for slicing nearly anything in the kitchen. Once you try a nice slicer like this you'll never go back to that thick and short "bread" knife that came with some set you bought years ago. Works great on nice and crusty artisan breads, and the thin blade is useful for pastry cake work too. Wusthof # 4519 1025048626
