Out of the box, this knife is sharp, and easily cuts through the tough crust of my sourdough bread. The guide is a nice help for cutting even and uniform slices, although it isn't fool proof. I like that there are markings with measurements to set the guide for the thickness you want.

After I ordered this, I wondered if it would be no different than my bread knife. But when this came in, one use made me extremely glad I bought this! Slices through sourdough like butter! The way the blade sits in the handle makes it so easy to cut even slices every time....

You baked a beautiful loaf. Make every slice count.

Stop guessing your slice thickness. Give your homemade bread the finish it deserves.

The problem

You mixed, proofed, and baked for hours. Then a regular knife undoes it in ten seconds — pressing down on the soft crumb, tearing the crust, and giving you one thick wedge and one thin sliver. The last step of your bake deserves better than freehand guessing.

Why this one

  • Set your thickness once. Slide the adjustable guide, tighten both knobs, and every slice matches — thin for crisp toast, thick for sandwiches.
  • The blade saws, it doesn't press. The serrated edge works through crusty sourdough with a gentle back-and-forth motion, so the soft middle stays light instead of compressed.
  • Made for real loaves. A 9-inch cutting span and natural wood frame handle big boules and everyday sandwich bread alike.
  • Left or right handed. The guide works either way — set it, tighten it, slice.

Your bread. Your perfect thickness.

Thin for a light bite, medium for everyday toast, thick for a generous sandwich. Move the guide to choose the slice you want.

Adjust the guide, tighten both knobs, slice on a stable board and serve

More even slices. Less guesswork.

The adjustable guide gives you a consistent reference as you cut. Set the spacing, tighten both knobs, and follow the guide with a gentle sawing motion.

Made for that crust you worked for.

A serrated blade works through crust with a back-and-forth motion. Let the teeth do the cutting instead of pressing down hard on your loaf.

Before it reaches your kitchen

Helpful answers, plainly stated.

What is included with the slicer?

One wooden slicing frame with an adjustable guide, two sliding knobs, one serrated blade.

How does the adjustable guide work?

Loosen both knobs, move the straight guide rail along its slots, and tighten the knobs before slicing. The guide sets a reference distance for the loaf.

How large is it?

The supplier listing gives the slicer size as approximately 15.75 × 2.76 × 0.59 inches. The bread bag’s listed size is 13 × 17 inches.

What kinds of bread can I slice?

The serrated blade is designed for sourdough, sandwich bread, brioche, baguettes, and bagels. Use a gentle sawing motion and adjust the guide to the slice thickness you prefer.

Can I use the slicer left-handed?

Yes. The slicer is designed for both left- and right-handed use. Make sure both adjustment knobs are tightened before you begin.

How do I clean the bread bag?

Gently hand-wash with cool water and a little mild soap, then let it dry completely before using it again. Avoid hot water, heat, direct sunlight, and abrasive cleaning tools to protect the beeswax lining.

Can I put freshly baked bread straight into the bag?

Let your loaf cool completely first. The beeswax lining should not be exposed to hot bread or other heat sources.

How do I close the bread bag?

Place your cooled bread inside, gently press out excess air, roll the top down, and fasten the buckle. Leave enough room at the top for a secure closure.

Can the bread bag go in the freezer?

Yes. The beeswax-lined bag can be used for refrigerator or freezer storage. Let the bread cool fully and close the bag securely before storing it.

When will my order arrive?

Orders normally process in 24–48 hours. Free shipping to U.S. addresses except Alaska; estimated delivery is 5–12 business days after shipment. Alaska shipping is $5.99, with delivery taking up to 30 calendar days after shipment. Items may ship separately.

What is the return policy?
