No. The handle is bent before the blade is attached, so the blade must stay in its original position. If you need the other orientation, send it back to us and we will send you the correct style.

Yes. Our solid hardwood boards can be used for cutting, chopping, and serving. We suggest using one side for prep and the other side for serving.

How often you oil your board depends on how often you use it. If you use it every day, oil it about 4 to 5 times a year. When the wood starts to look dry, it is time to oil it.

Wash your board in warm soapy water. Dry it right away. For best results, stand it against a wall or counter edge until it is fully dry. This helps air circulate and helps prevent warping.

We do not sell replacement blades for our Bread & Bagel Slicer. We have specialized equipment that is used to attach the blade to the wooden handle. The wooden handle is bowed slightly and then the blade is attached ensuring a taut blade for the best slicing results. When the blade is removed, the handle will stretch out preventing you from reattaching the blade. If, at any time, you would like a new blade, just return your Bread Slicer to us with $8.00 and a return shipping address and we will: - Replace the Blade - Refurbish the Handle - Return it to you.

Yes! Just use a gentle back and forth sawing motion as you move gently through the bread. Very much like using a saw. You do not need to push down strongly because the blade is very sharp and serrated and so slices easily through the bread.

We make all of our wood products in Eugene, Oregon. The ceramic accessories and spreader knives are imported from China and Vietnam. We use red alder, a sustainable hardwood from the Pacific Northwest.
