This is the best bread knife I have ever purchased. It is also superior for fruit/melon/pineapple peeling. Also for cutting of Supremes of citrus. Also works great on cooked pork loin, tenderloin, etc. Victorinox discontinued this knife with the wood handle (not sure why) but it was slightly lighter and more maneuverable. It is easy to sharpen. If I could have only one serrated knife, it would be this one.
