Zassenhaus Classic Manual Bread Slicer-Black | Precision Bread, Meat & Cheese Slicing Tool
The Zassenhaus Classic Manual Bread Slicer is a hand-operated kitchen slicer for bread, meat and cheese. Inspired by the 1960s original, it combines a serrated stainless steel blade, adjustable slice thickness and a solid wood base for controlled slicing at home.
Construction & Design
The Zassenhaus Classic Manual Bread Slicer features a serrated stainless steel circular blade made in Solingen, Germany. Its solid beechwood base and handle provide a warm, traditional appearance, while the lacquered die-cast metal body provides a durable structure.
The integrated side dial allows the slice thickness to be adjusted steplessly from 1 mm to 18 mm, giving you control over the thickness of each slice.
Four suction cups on the base help keep the slicer securely in position during use. They work best on smooth surfaces such as glass, marble and quartz.
Performance & Everyday Benefits
Designed for manual slicing, the Zassenhaus Classic gives you direct control over the thickness of each slice without relying on an electric motor. The serrated blade is suitable for different types of bread, including crusty artisan loaves and softer sandwich bread, as well as meat and cheese.
The adjustable thickness makes it possible to prepare thin slices for sandwiches or thicker slices for other serving preferences. The suction-cup base helps provide stability while cutting, while the manual design avoids the noise and electrical components associated with an electric slicer.
