A classic knife that belongs in every kitchen is the bread knife. The multi-purpose Wusthof Urban Farmer 9” Bread Knife can also be used on hard-skinned vegetables and fruit, as well as for roasts— especially those with crackling! The concave serrated edge of the knife works like the teeth of a saw, but is much finer, so no pressure is required to cut any sort of bread and even a those with a hard crust will receive a clean, uncrushed cut. Wusthof’s Urban Farmer line celebrates farm-fresh food, home gardening, and cooking with wholesome, healthy ingredients. Combining rustic style with modern technologies and materials, Urban Farmer knives beautifully express the collection’s farm to table ethos. The line’s designer—accomplished German designer Bjoern Berger—has committed to sustainability and environmentalism while inspiring creativity in the kitchen. What visually sets the Urban Farmer knives apart from other Wusthof lines, is the handle complete with a non-slip bolster. The high-performance synthetic black bolster offers a secure grip that will instill confidence even when wet! The distinctive handle is made with sustainably grown FSC-certified European Beechwood that is heat-treated to ensure an extremely durable and water-resistant handle even though it is uncoated. Finished off with two stainless steel rivets, the Urban Farmer handles are smooth to the touch, ergonomic, and extremely comfortable to use. These knives are equally at home in the kitchen, as they are in the garden or on any urban farm!
