Individual Bread Knives & Slicers
Choosing Your Bread Knife or Slicer
Think about the bread you usually cut, how often you slice and what feels comfortable to use. A handheld bread knife offers a simple, flexible setup, while a manual hand-crank slicer provides a dedicated place for slicing whole loaves.
Read our guide to choosing and using a bread knife for practical advice.
Essential, Baker’s Edge or Bow Knife?
Our Essential Bread Knife and Baker’s Edge Premium Bread Knife offer handheld serrated options, while the Acacia Bow Knife has a distinctive framed design.
Compare blade length, handle style and dimensions in each listing. Choose according to your usual loaf size and preferred grip, whether you’re cutting toast, sandwiches or slices to share.
When Should I Consider a Hand-Crank Slicer?
A manual hand-crank bread slicer is worth considering if you regularly cut whole loaves and want adjustable slice thickness. Turning the handle operates the rotating blade, giving you a different cutting method from a handheld knife.
Check the product listing for suitable bread types, dimensions and operating instructions, and consider the space available on your bench.
Can I Use My Existing Board or Slicing Guide?
Buying individually lets you keep using equipment you already enjoy. Check that your board gives you enough room to support the loaf and use the knife comfortably.
If you use a slicing guide, check its dimensions and knife-clearance requirements before choosing a knife.
Looking for a Set Instead?

Caring for Your Cutting Tool
Follow the cleaning, drying and storage instructions for your chosen knife or slicer. Store sharp blades securely and follow the operating guidance when using or maintaining the hand-crank slicer.
At The Sourdough Kitchen, we use our cutting tools with the bread we bake at home. If you’d like help comparing the options, get in touch—we’re happy to help.
