how wide is the actual blade? Want to know if I can slice Tilimuk Costco big loafs
1980296
Sure you can I slice those all the time have to slice it twice to cover entire loaf

The total width of the "spatula" is 3". The throat opening is 2-3/16" X about 3/16" Total width of the cutting blade (ie the iron if this were a plane) is 1-7/8". Hope this helps.

The cutting part is two inches.The opening is ab 2.25".I use it to plane Costco Butter for toast.I don't think it will do commercial size cheese.Celebrate LIFE, Joyfully and Prosperously !

Oh, sheez...you poor thing!! LOL. Three responses and three different answers!! I just got mine out and measured the width of the cutting blade and I concur with Mr. Geer. Mine is exactly 1 3/4" wide. Hope this helps!

Deborah I can't tell you for sure because I rebuilt the slicer to a 5" wide loaf to fit my bread pans. I'm going to guess that it was 6" or very close to that.

I see someone replied for the dimensions. I wrote a review about preventing the rods from splitting and bending. As of today, I have yet to bend one or see any shavings coming out of my block using the care I described. I love mine still! It looks great on my counter... If it helps, for large knives I have a chef knife, a santoku, a bread knife, a utility knive and two slicing knives. I have 4 smaller knives, two of which are paring knives. I also have two pairs of kitchen shears. I wouldn't put anything else in it. The largest blades do stick out a little but it's never been an issue. There is enough room that things wiggle in easily.

I don't remember the size of the blade, but the best I remember, it cut a fine line when it worked for me...Hope this helps

Got for son and daughter in law who make their own bread. Slices are thick but don't know if wide.

Blade length on mine is just under nine and a half inches. The widest spot on the blade is one and one half inches.

Hi, The slots are 1.5 inches wide and 5.5 inches long. We buy various whole grain breads such as Pepperidge Farm, Orowheat, etc. and they go in fine. If your slice is over 5.5 inches, it might be a tight fit. I agree with Lisa G., some breads you will have to trim a bit.

Big enough for a sliced half of a CostCo bagel or Arnold's style wide loaf pan bread.

The blade is just about 8". It's ok. Not great. Can be found in most supermarkets.

I'm thinking that you might be asking about bread, like sourdough, where each slice is pretty wide? If so, Nope. I need to cut the bread in half and toast 2 pieces...sorry

I am not sure. If it is a loaf (vise already pre sliced) it shouldn't be a problem. My loafs are pretty large, so it will accommodate large sizes as well as the smaller size. I love the fact it can slice the different thickness also.I hope I was able to answer your question.Thank you

I am not able to measure the blade as I have changed it. I change often a I do a lot of cutting with the rotory cutter. Sorry.

Its already noted in the reviews, mine is 4 inches, which is not wide enough for some meat cleavers, but fits my Wustof Cleaver just fine. The big drawback for this block is the tendency for the laminations to come unglued. Fortunately, mine only separated on the bottom, which is not visible normally. I've had it about a year now.Its probably the best one out there, but inspect it carefully for any splits, its heavy and can open them up in shipping.

It appears to me to be 1/8 inch, The markings on the wrapper - which is in Japanese (I think) - show 10, 15, 20, and 25mm. Keep in mind that the product is made of plastic, and the guide, while rigid, has some flex, so you may not get perfect cuts. However they are straighter than I can cut freehand! My greatest complaint is about the limit imposed on the height & width of a loaf to be cut. A pullman-type usually works fine, many loafs prepared in a bread machine are too large, and definitely a boule will not fit within the guide.

The blade is 7 and 3/16 inches long. Coarse teeth on one side of the blade and fine teeth on the other side enable both ripping and crosscutting with the same blade. I have used these saws for years. You can do very fine work with them, and if you are careful they will last for a long time. They are superior to any American saw for small handwork.

Fully opened it's 6 inches long. Closed up, it's 2 5/8 inches. Longest blade is 2 inches and the smaller one is 1 3/8 inches. It's less than 3/8 of an inch wide. It's perfect for a pocket. Hope this helps.
