Wonderful, no frills slicer with solid, quality construction. Operates beautifully. The blade is super sharp and easily cuts through sourdough crust; and the blade is big enough to accommodate a large boule. I also really appreciate that this slicer has a guide. Many others of similar design don’t have one and the sliced bread gets in the way of the crank handle. This slicer makes me want to bake more just so I can use it. Highly recommend.
