Why Choose this Bread Knife?


Our bow style bread knife stands out for its natural look and feel. The handle is made from solid Alder a sustainable hardwood that flourishes in Oregon. We ease over all of the edges and sand all sides to a smooth finish which gives our Slicer a comfortable grip that feels good in your hand.

The blade is made from high quality ultra-thin stainless steel and it is unusually sharp. It is double-ground (ground on both sides) and has deep serrations. This thin blade is designed specifically to cut through all kinds of breads including crusty breads, dense breads and soft breads without crushing. Great for bagels and rolls too!


Our Bread & Bagel Slicer helps you slice bread cleanly and evenly with just a gentle downward sawing motion. This means less tearing and crumbling. It also keeps your bread looking fresh and appetizing. The wood handle adds a touch of elegance to your kitchen tools. It fits well with our other wooden items like cutting boards and serving trays.

How a Wooden Bread Knife Improves Your Baking Experience


When you bake bread, slicing it properly is important. A dull or wrong knife can ruin your loaf. Our bread slicer is designed to handle the different textures of all kinds of breads. The serrated blade cuts through the crust easily. It also glides through the soft inside without squashing it.


This knife is also easy to control. The wooden handle offers a firm grip and rests nicely in the hand. This control helps you make even slices. Even slices are great for serving and storing bread.


Cleaning and maintaining this knife is simple. The wood handle should be hand washed and dried immediately. This keeps the wood from drying out. The blade can be wiped clean with a damp cloth.

Is it worth getting an expensive bread knife?


You might wonder if spending more on a our bread knife is necessary. There are many similar knives on the market most of them imported. However, our Bread & Bagel Slicer is made in the USA using sustainable American hardwoods and American made components. Our stainless steel blades are American made and they are attached to the handle with stainless steel screws. The craftsmanship of our Bread & Bagel Slicer means it will last for generation to come. My mother has had her for over 25 years. The imported copies of our Bread Slicer are made with inferior woods that will dry out and crack, blades that are poorly made and lose there edge quickly and hardware that will not hold up to heavy use.


Our Bread & Bagel Slicers come in both Right Handed and Left Handed. Although the handles are all made from Red Alder, we offer 5 finishes: Natural Alder, Maple, Cherry, Mahogany or Walnut. The Maple, Cherry, Mahogany and Walnut finishes are achieved with a food-safe die. All of the Bread Slicers are then finished with 6 coats of a food-safe clear lacquer to protect the wood.


Our Bread Slicer has better design and craftsmanship. The wood is carefully selected to be free of defects and treated with quality finishes. The blade is made from durable high quality steel. This means the knife performs well over time. It also looks nicer on your kitchen counter and provides an overal more enjoyable baking experience.


If you bake bread regularly, investing in a good knife pays off. It makes slicing easier and safer. You avoid frustration from dull blades or poor handles. And you get the maximum yield from each loaf sliced.


Caring for Your Natural Wooden Handled Bread Knife


To keep your Bread & Bagel Slicer in top shape, proper care is key. Just like a fine hardwood cutting board, the wood of this handle is a natural material that needs attention. Do not soak the knife in water or put in the dishwasher. This will damage the wood and loosen the blade.


After use, wash the knife by hand with mild soap and warm water. Dry it immediately with a towel. Occasionally, apply our 100% pure food-safe mineral oil to the handle. This keeps the wood hydrated and prevents cracking.


By caring for your knife, you extend its life. It will remain a reliable tool in your kitchen for years.


Using a Wooden Bread Knife as a Gift or Corporate Gift


A wooden bread knife makes a thoughtful gift. It suits many occasions like housewarmings, weddings, or holidays. The natural wood finish adds a warm, personal touch. It shows you care about quality and style.
