Marsvogel
Bread knife

The Neustanlo 8″ bread knife from Marsvogel represents high-quality kitchenware manufactured in the renowned city of Solingen. With a blade length of 20.5 cm and an overall length of 32.5 cm, this knife is particularly suitable for cutting all types of bread and pastries. The specific serrated edge ensures that the knife is particularly sharp, allowing it to glide effortlessly through the crust of fresh bread. The blade is made of stainless chrome steel (AISI 420/DIN X46Cr13), which guarantees high durability and resistance. The triple-riveted handles made of fine olive or Bubinga wood are not only attractive to look at, but also non-slip to the touch.

  • High-quality workmanship
  • Sharp special serrated edge
  • Stainless chrome steel
  • No protective cover included

The Neustanlo 8″bread knife from the manufacturer Marsvogel leaves a thoroughly positive first impression. The product is delivered in a classic shipping box, which is both aesthetically pleasing and functional. The compact packaging ensures optimum protection of the knife during transport. However, an additional protective cover for the blade would be desirable to increase safety during storage and prevent possible injuries.

The sustainability of the packaging should also be emphasised, as the product is shipped in recyclable packaging that effectively protects the individual components. This demonstrates a sense of responsibility for environmental issues on the part of the manufacturer.

The contents of the package were complete and in perfect condition, which emphasises the high quality standards of the Marsvogel company. Instructions for use were not included, but this is not necessary in this case as handling the knife is intuitive and uncomplicated.

As part of a practical test of the Neustanlo 8″bread knife from Marsvogel , we had the opportunity to comprehensively test the manufacturer’s advertising claims. The cutting performance on soft bread was remarkable. The knife penetrated the bread effortlessly, with the slices taking on a uniform shape with minimal crumbling. The knife also performed excellently when slicing hard bread . The crust remained intact and there were no fractures or breaks, indicating the high quality of the blade.

The ergonomically designed handle proved to be extremely comfortable and did not lead to signs of fatigue or pressure marks even after prolonged use. Furthermore, the non-slip handle ensures safe handling even with wet hands. Another advantage is that the knife is easy to clean . All soiling can be removed effortlessly so that no residue remains after use. The Neustanlo bread knife fulfils expectations in full and is an excellent choice for demanding users.

*Themaximum score is 100 points

On the Amazon platform, consumers rate the product with an average of 4.8 stars. One common criticism is that a crooked blade was found in a single case, which could indicate possible production fluctuations. On the other hand, many customers like the fact that it is an excellent bread knife that impresses with its sharpness and handling. In our practical test, we were able to confirm that the workmanship and stability of the knife were consistently positive and that the cutting performance is outstanding. However, the aforementioned problem with the blade was not reproducible and appears to be an isolated incident.

Prices of up to €39.99 are charged on the internet for equivalent products. Very affordable products are available from as little as €23.68 . The Marsvogel bread knife is therefore currently in the lower price segment with a price of €27.90. For the quality and performance received, the price-performance ratio is very good.
