Out of the Woods of Oregon Bread and Bagel Slicer, Maple Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I bought this knife for my husband's birthday present. I bake all our bread and my husband cuts it all. This is a lovely knife, great for displaying, VERY sharp and works well on cooled bread. We both like the lifetime warranty that comes with the knife. The wood is beautiful and has a lustrous finish. I don't think the pictures do justice to the item's actual appearance. I feel it was well worth the price paid.
That said, I want to let you know why I rated it a 4 instead of a 5. My husband found it doesn't work well on that still-warm-from-the oven loaf. Since the serrations are rather large and far apart, on the freshest loaves the knife tends to tear rather than cut the slices. This seems a small thing over which to lose a star, but 5 of 5 stars should be reserved for near perfection. The issue of the fresh bread means this isn't a perfect knife. It's a small issue for us because we have another bread knife that cuts the still-warm loaves, but another purchaser might not, and would have this issue.

Live green- be green. Out of the woods of Oregon is proud of our green heritage.Long before it was fashionable, we were concerned with conserving our resources and caring for our environment.Our wood products are made in Eugene, Oregon using Oregon red alder.Red alder is a sustainable hardwood that flourishes in the lush climate of the coastal pacific northwest.Red alder is re-planted as it is harvested ensuring the sustainability of this beautiful resource for decades to come.Of equal importance to us, is the wise use of the wood.Much of our wood comes from local furniture manufacturers because we are able to use their short and narrow pieces (fall down) to create many of our products.Short boards, not long enough for their use, are used to make our cutting and serving boards.Very narrow pieces of wood are used to make our spice racks and push pulls.We even use our saw dust to heat many of our buildings.We offer an extensive line of cutting boards for basic kitchen use as well as a wide assortment of specialty boards great for serving dips, pate's, cheeses, and oils.We are proud to be wood workers in Eugene, Oregon and we hope you will enjoy using our products as much as we enjoy making them.
