I am looking to get a Victorinox Bread Knife after having bought a
Victorinox Chefs Knife which I am very impressed with. But I have
found that they make 3 different ones. I just want it for domestic use
and could anyone recommend which would be the most suitable & why

These are all on this site on page 2 & 4

Those Knives are actually made by Forschner, the company that imports
Victorinox brand Swiss Army Knives into the US. So the knives are made
in the US by the importer, not by Victorinox. Same with Swiss Army Brand
Watches. Regardless they're good quality knives and cheap. I use the
10" Chef's knife. As far as 'most suitable for domestic use'... most
suitable for what, slicing bread? Get whatever fits in your hand the
best. Your local restaurant supply should have plenty to try your hands on.

Here's my choice:

http://209.35.185.42/ShopSite/RH_For...ery_40040.html

This is a great knife. The radiused blade lets me cut large rounds like San
Francisco Sourdough all the way through effortlessly. The concave-scallop
single-sided bevel takes a little practice to keep straight because it wants
to cut at an angle. But, once I got the hang of it and learned how to
compensate it cuts perfectly straight and doesn't crush the bread. It's the
first bread knife I've found that was good enough to finally replace my 50yr
old 10" Sheffield convex-scallop straight blade. Gave that to my daughter
with no regrets.

You've got this exactly backwards. These knives are made in Switzerland
by Victorinox, and imported into the US by Forschner (now a Victorinox
division).

That is my blade, though I have the Fibrox handle. It is unfailingly
sharp. I bake all my own bread and the knife has proven itself many
times over.

This is one of those applications where a ginsu actually works well. Just
$19.95 for your ginsu plus an additional free ginsu for acting now and 6 steak
knives, 2 bonus paring knives, two juicers and a partridge in a pear tree. If
your lucky the partridge will be Lori.
