Bread knife

[Elsa TLC]

I use a Wusthof classic to slice my bread. £104 but I have seen them as low as £80. It’s the Omega of bread knives. Does the job, looks the part and gives others something to aspire to.

Well im looking at that and I'm aspiring into my coffee.

Looks old! Is it still a good knife?

I don't find these too bad, though you can get a whole set for not much more

Thats what I have. Ok but doesn't shake me.

I bought an ellectric knife to cut the christmas turkey and beef joints. I used it for bread and it glides through bread with ease and is easy to get slices even thickness. I think it was only £37.

Does it take much electricity?

It hadn't crossed my mind before you mentioned it. Now that you have it has got me worried. I hope that it doesn't but the saving grace is that we have an EV so we get cheaper electric through the night, I am going to limit it's use to during the hours of 12am and 5.30am. Thanks for the heads up.

Yes, I cut the hedge with mine the once and my bill doubled.

That appears to be a scalloped blade. IMO the serrated, or sawtooth, blade is better for bread.

I know people who like dense rye bread, I've never really thought about the sort of blade that needs.

You should have got an EV so you could get the same rate as me. That's where you went wrong.

Do EVs cut hedges?

Do EVs cut hedges?

If you drive through them they do, I suggest you buy an EV so you can get an EV tariff.

Couldn't afford one.

Couldn't afford one.

Could you maybe borrow one so you can get the tariff, then just give it back?

Good idea
