Zassenhaus Adjustable Bread Slicer — Cream 11.75" x 8", Solingen 18/8 Stainless Blade, Uniform Slices

The Zassenhaus Original Classic Adjustable Bread Slicer is a manual loaf cutter that produces uniform slices up to 0.7" thick using a Solingen-made 18/8 stainless steel serrated blade.

Designed in the spirit of traditional German kitchencraft, this countertop bread slicer brings controlled, repeatable cuts to homemade and artisan loaves. Its wooden base, anti-slip suction feet and an adjustable stop make it easy to slice sourdough, sandwich loaves and rustic breads cleanly without bulky machinery. The compact footprint and hand-operated design suit kitchens where precision and style matter.

How does the slicer ensure even, repeatable slices?

The adjustable base knob sets a consistent slice thickness so each piece comes out the same size from heel to crust. A guided channel keeps the loaf aligned while the serrated Solingen blade cuts through the crust without crushing the crumb.

• Adjustable thickness up to 0.7 inches for uniform slices
• Wooden base with groove to steady the loaf during cutting
• Anti-slip suction cups secure the unit to countertops
• Serrated 18/8 stainless steel blade from Solingen for clean cutting

What breads and sizes can I slice with this tool?

The Zassenhaus Classic works well for a wide range of homemade loaves: sandwich breads, boule-style sourdough, baguettes under the height limit, and small rye or multigrain loaves. Very large bakery pan loaves may require multiple passes or trimming to fit the slicer bed.

• Best for loaves under the slicer length and height limits
• Handles artisan crusts without compressing soft crumb
• Ideal for evenly portioning sandwich slices and toast
• Not intended for frozen loaves or very large commercial boules

How do I use and care for the bread slicer safely?

Set the slice-thickness knob, place the loaf in the bed groove, then hold it steady and guide the blade by turning the handle in a smooth motion. Clean the blade and wooden base with a damp cloth; avoid soaking or dishwashers to protect wood and blade temper.

• Adjust knob, place loaf, steady with hand, and saw with the handle
• Hand wash only; wipe blade and wood dry immediately
• Keep blade away from children and store safely when not in use
• Occasional light oiling of wooden parts preserves finish

What makes Zassenhaus craftsmanship different from cheaper slicers?

Zassenhaus combines heritage woodworking with a high-grade stainless blade made in Solingen, a city known for blade-making. The result is a durable, serviceable tool that emphasizes control and longevity rather than disposable plastics or weak hardware.

• Blade crafted in Solingen for sustained sharpness and serration profile
• Solid wood base for stability and aesthetic warmth on counters
• Anti-slip feet and simple mechanical adjustment for reliable performance
• Manufacturing tradition dating back to 1867 emphasizes durability

Who this is for: Home bakers and bread lovers who value uniform slices, countertop style, and a hand-operated tool that preserves crumb structure. If you make regular loaves at home, host breakfast gatherings, or prefer precise sandwich slices without an electric appliance, this Zassenhaus slicer is built to fit those needs.
