All of my guides are built with my hands, one at a time, in my wood shop located in Lincolnton GA. Slight variations from the pictures showing this bread guide may occur as I make production changes.

To adjust slice thickness, using the horizonal or vertical slicing method, simply slide the loafs backstop which is "Food safe" HDPE cutting board material, into any of the slots on the guide.

My goal was to develop a slicing guide that can slice vertical or horizontal, be easily adjusted for slice thickness, stores away compactly, durable, beautiful and yet be affordable. I think after using this guide you will agree on all of the above.

It is made out of solid Oak lumber with the only exception being the back rest for the loaf which is "Food Safe" HDPE cutting board material and is dishwasher safe. The guide will last a lifetime with proper care. Just clean with a dry or damp cloth. DO NOT SOAK WOODEN PART IN WATER.

The finish used is food grade mineral oil that meets US FDA requirements for food contact surfaces and is safe for all food preparation surfaces. You may apply more mineral oil or cutting board oil as the wood dries over time.

A few words of advice in using a horizontal/vertical slicing guide:

I have hundreds of my horizontal slicing guides all over the USA and 99% of the people using them are very happy as you can witness in my
reviews. BUT........after selling close to 2,000 of my various style horizontal and vertical slicing guides I find that if you have issues with the
use of your hands to slice bread, I advise you to not buy a horizontal slicing guide, buy a vertical guide. It requires more dexterity to slice
horizontally than vertically. BUT........if your hands work........horizontal slicing is the fastest and easiest way to slice perfect slices of your bread.
Don't forget that after you use your guide, if you're not satisfied, it can be returned for a full refund within 30 days of purchase. The old saying
"Practice makes perfect" applies to learning how to use this guide.

A bread knife with a blade length of 12 to 14-inches is recommended for slicing. A shorter knife will not work.
Knife not included with order.

Do not place your guide into water or a dish washer. Simply wipe off with a dry or damp cloth if needed.


Can you cut yourself on this guide? Absolutely! Use caution while slicing. Do not allow children to use the guide. If you think you may injure yourself don't use the guide. Return it for a full refund. I want you totally safe and satisfied.
