It’s hard to beat a good sandwich, especially when you have all your favorite ingredients to hand. The perfect deli meat, the best cheese, taste condiments and fresh, homemade bread sliced just hit different. But how do you go about getting the perfect slice on that loaf? A bread slicer helps you get the ideal balance of bread to filling. Whether you prefer thin or thick slices, we’ve found the right bread slicer for you.
You don’t even need to break out an electric knife to get the perfect cut. Specialized bread cutters paired with the serrated blade of a bread knife make slicing effortless, whether it’s crusty sourdough or soft sandwich bread — and we’re not just talking about bagel guillotines. These machines take your bread knife skills to the next level when it comes to both store-bought and homemade loaves.
Most bread slicers have sturdy wooden builds with evenly spaced slots to guide your bread knife for identical bread slices every time. Whether you’re prepping a batch of French toast, making grilled cheese sandwiches or just satisfying your need for perfectly symmetrical slices (we get it, symmetry is important), this simple gadget can do the trick. Listed below are some of our favorite bread slicers to make slicing bread easy and satisfying.
These handy kitchen gadgets can also make fun gifts for the bread lover in your life or for that person who has everything.

This bread slicer is split into two parts: a wooden box topped with slats to catch bread crumbs, and acrylic sliding guides drilled into the wood to ease your experience while cutting bread. The sliding guides ensure even slices as you pass your serrated knife through the slits. Once you’re done, you can easily dump out the mix of bread crumbs and other mess and start on your favorite sandwiches.

Built in the Pacific Northwest, this bread slicer will make cutting bread very easy. The slicer has a wide cutting surface, allowing you to place bigger loaves of bread. It even folds up easily — to a height of 1.5 inches — so this bread machine can be stored away when not in use. To slice bread effectively, rotate the knife guides to the upright position, insert the bread into the cavernous space and guide your bread knives through the slots.
