I bought this cigar and whiskey holder as a gift for my dad, and I’m genuinely impressed. The craftsmanship is top-notch—solid wood with smooth edges and a rich finish that makes it feel luxurious without being flashy.

What I love most is the thoughtful layout—it keeps everything in place perfectly. It’s a conversation starter EVERY-TIME! Pops loves it!

Highly Recommend

I received this bread knife as a gift. I make sourdough bread and it slices it perfectly, is easy to hold and te wood handle is super smooth. It is both a functional and beautiful!

I couldn’t be more thrilled with this custom left-handed bread knife! It’s not just a kitchen tool but also a piece of art, I plan to hang it in the kitchen. The olive wood handle is beautifully finished and feels natural in hand. You can tell a lot of care and intention went into every detail.

Functionally, it slices through crusty artisan loaves and soft sandwich bread with equal ease. The blade is sharp and precise, and the grip makes it comfortable to use. Highly recommended this purchase!

This bread knife exceeded expectations. I had never tried one before so I assumed it would be about the same as a regular bread knife I cut with, NOPE. When I tell you it cuts bread like butter, I’m not exaggerating. I would also struggle to cut even pieces with a regular bread knife, this one makes it 10x easier and makes my work look so much more professional!

I am seriously obsessed with this handmade bowed bread knife. It’s so smooth, lightweight, and just beautifully crafted—the colors in the wood are stunning in person. You can tell it was made with care and real skill.

The serrated blade is super sharp and makes slicing through sourdough a breeze (even those really crusty loaves). No tearing or squishing—just clean, easy cuts every time.

Beyond the knife itself, I’ve really enjoyed connecting with the maker. He’s kind, talented, and clearly passionate about his work. This definitely won’t be my last purchase from him!

I have been baking sourdough for a very long time and let me tell you that I have gone through my share of bread knives but this handcrafted bow knife is in a class of its own and stands out like no other, Ryan definitely knows his stuff, the craftsmanship beautiful and top notch.

The handle is extremely comfortable ,smooth, thick but not too heavy, and very durable and definitely not like any other competition. It slices through the crusty crust of sourdough effortlessly, like butter , makes you want to slice all the loaves that come out of the oven 🤣
does a better job than my commercial Oliver slicer 😂
You can even change the blade if ever needed and he can make it right or left hand , win win

Highly highly recommend this bow knife or what Ryan likes to call it “saw knife” 😆 but whether you are a professional baker or home baker , you won’t be disappointed , go get yourself one or two or three, they make incredible gifts 🎁

This bread saw is (excuse the pun) the best thing since sliced bread! It cuts through my sourdough loaf with no difficulty at all! I've tried many different bread knives out there and have even cut myself in the process. This is the only one that works for me. Be sure to specify your dominant hand because that really makes a difference! I have now recommended and gifted a couple to friends and family and they love it too. Not only does it work but it's beautiful workmanship and a piece of art to display in your kitchen.
