Bread Slicer Guide for Homemade Bread and Loaf Cakes By Kozy Kitchen, 100% Organic Bamboo Bread Slicing Guide, Compact Foldable Bread Cutter Guide, Enhanced Bamboo Wooden Bagel Slicer

I wanted to like this product. It looked and felt well made, but there were a few things that just didn't work for me. For one thing, there were no instructions. It wasn't that hard to figure out, but instructions would have been nice. The slicing guide only allows you to cut a few slices the same size, then you have to move the loaf to continue cutting the same size slices. So if you want to slice a whole loaf of bread as I did, you'd have to cut a few slices, move the loaf, cut a few more, and so on until you finish the loaf. A lot of bread slicers I've looked at are made this way, but I'd prefer one that has just one average size guide so the bread wouldn't constantly have to be moved while slicing. Lastly, the width is not adjustable and it was too wide for my longest (13" with 8" blade) bread knife. I returned it because of the multiple size slicing guide and the width. I'd buy it again absent those things.

Bread-making and the aromas of cooking and of freshly cooked bread assume special importance in these Covid times.This slicer guide is a welcome addition to my process. It has visual appeal, is sturdy and works well. I particularly like to be able to choose a slice thickness from its three options.The guide accommodates a wide range of loaf sizes, which means that the space between the guides on each side is wide. My bread knife has a 9" blade, and that's about as small as I'd like for this guide. Another inch of stroke length would be desirable, so maybe I'll get a new, longer, bread knife.I don’t expect products to be perfect, what makes the difference is how well the support behind the product steps up to problems. When Kozy sent the product, nobody had noticed a split in the side of the crumb tray and that a corner was opening up. I contacted Kozy through Amazon and they agreed to mail a replacement tray. The replacement is perfect. Well done!I'd like to conclude with some comments about the visual appeal of this slicer guide. Being made of all-natural materials, and finished nicely, it complements the appearance of my breads. Nothing plastic, nothing metal. It just makes me feel good when I'm using it. It's the best slicer guide I have used to date!

You need a strong arm and a 10" bread knife to use this. Too wide and hard to cut a nice slice. I sent back because I do not want wood in my bread slices...

Great item if you making your own bread

This bread slicer is too wide. It also does not have the ability to adjust the width. Even with a 12” knife we found it difficult to use. Returned.

This item is exactly as advertised but arrived with one end of wood slate broken and hanging, I glued it hopefully that will hold.

I bought this to insure consistent slices for a special dietary need. It works wonderfully. Love the crumb tray and the fact that it folds up for storage. The only problem is that one needs to be cautious about slicing too close to the prongs as they will slice right along side the bread. A good fix for this would be for the manufacturer to design a stainless steel sleeve that would go over the prongs. This would obviously need to be removable for cleaning and would also add to the price but for my money, would be well worth the investment. I chose this one over the available plastic ones because it is natural. Stainless would be a good option too but didn't find one made of stainless steel. Overall, very happy with the purchase and would buy it again if need be.

Hard to determine the correct width.
