Lefty's Bread and Bagel Slicer

Standard bread knives are sharpened on the right side, which forces left-handed users to angle their wrist awkwardly to keep the cut straight. This slicer reverses the blade geometry, allowing you to maintain a natural, comfortable wrist position while keeping your cut perfectly vertical.

No, the blade is designed to be maintenance-free. The serrated stainless steel edge is engineered to stay sharp through regular use on bread and bagels, so you won't need to worry about honing or professional sharpening.

It is designed for both. The 16-inch serrated blade is long enough to saw through thick, crusty sourdough loaves without crushing the soft interior, while still being precise enough to slice delicate bagels or rolls.

To keep the wood in good condition, hand wash the knife and dry it immediately after use. Avoid putting it in the dishwasher, as the heat and moisture can cause the wood to crack or warp over time.

It is a longer blade, which is necessary for slicing large loaves in a single motion. Before purchasing, measure your drawer to ensure it can accommodate the 16-inch length, or consider storing it on a magnetic knife strip or in a universal knife block.
