Wooden Bread Bow Knife

Slice a loaf with a bread knife that uses a wooden bow-shaped frame around the blade. The long metal cutting edge is held along the open side of the frame, with the wood providing both a handle area and support for the overall shape. Pale pine gives the knife a light, natural finish, allowing the wood grain to remain part of its appearance. The open center keeps the blade visible as it is positioned against the bread, and the extended handle offers a defined grip away from the cutting edge. Use it on a suitable board when cutting a loaf into portions for breakfast, sandwiches or the table. Its distinctive frame also makes it straightforward to recognize among conventional straight-handled knives. The pale wooden frame and long blade give the knife its distinctive appearance on the preparation surface. Follow sensible knife handling, set out a loaf and make the next serving part of an unhurried breakfast.
