SOURDOUGH BREAD KNIFE

Bow Bread Knives (also known as fiddle bow knives; bread saw knives or Appalachian bread knives) get their name due to their unique shape that is similar to that of a violinist/fiddlers bow.

The Bow Bread knife has a very identifiable wooden bow shape which is a strong, long handle as well as a slicing guide plus a serrated steel knife blade.  The tension in the blade (due to how it is secured on the handle) aids the strength and durability of the knife blade.
