Know before you buy
The Bow Bread Knife is designed specifically for right-handed operation. While left-handed users can still use the tool, it requires a right-handed grip to function as intended.
Yes, the 9-inch stainless steel blade is replaceable. This design allows you to maintain a sharp, precise cut over the long term without needing to replace the entire knife.
The difference is primarily aesthetic. Both options are crafted from solid wood and offer the same ergonomic grip, but Cherry provides a lighter, warmer tone, while Walnut offers a deeper, darker finish.
The bow design allows for a consistent, straight slicing motion that minimizes crushing, which is especially helpful for soft artisan loaves. It provides more control and leverage than a standard straight-handled serrated knife.
With an overall length of 16 inches and a 9-inch blade, this knife is well-suited for most standard artisan loaves. The open-frame bow design allows it to pass through larger loaves that might otherwise be obstructed by the spine of a traditional knife.
