How to Sharpen the Wüsthof Classic Purple Yam Double Serrated Bread Knife

Serrated blades require different sharpening care than straight edges. For sharpening your Wüsthof Purple Yam bread knife:

Sharpening Tips for Wüsthof Purple Yam Bread Knife

• Sharpen the beveled side only: Work the flat, beveled side of each serration with a tapered ceramic or diamond sharpening rod matched to the serration width.
• Follow each gullet: Sharpen each serration individually in the direction of the factory bevel; do not grind the scalloped back side.
• Remove minimal material: A few light strokes per gullet restore the bite — the double-serrated design already holds its edge far longer than single-serrated knives.
• Hone lightly between sharpenings: A ceramic rod pass on the beveled side realigns the micro-serrations.

Never use a standard honing steel on serrations, and always cut on wood or plastic boards — never glass, ceramic, or metal.
