How well do they cut tomatoes, and bread?

These knives are wonderful and seem to cut anything you try them on, but there is not a bread knife in the lot. There is one - the midsized one that has small teeth in it that could likely be used for bread. I would liken the set to my good quality Hinkles when they were new, but for less than half the price. If you are not used to sharp knives then beware when you first start to use them. For the price they really are quite awesome.

Absolutely! Great at making thin potato slices and lots of other veggies. We use ours almost daily.

If the product you wish to cut is firm enough and you have a good knife, I can see no problem. You would get best results using this bread slicer using an electric knife without you sawing. So, my answer would be a resounding ""YES".

i have only used it for tomatoes. However, I think that is a great idea and would work very well.

Yes, these knives cut meat very well. I have used them to slice steak and turkey.

It is a wonderful machine. It comes with both slicing and shredding disk, a bread kneader and a slicing round blade. I make French bread in a minute. I have the recipe if you are interested.

This is a great slicer but will not cut slices that wide Also, tomatoes do not do the best, because the slices are thin and they tend to fall apart.

I bought mine as a gift from my mom. Because she kept threatening to steal the one that I already had that was just a little bit larger than this one. I've had the original one for probably almost 30 years and it still can slice of tomato. The one I have is slightly larger than the one I ordered but my mom loves it we both use ours very often. Have never sharpened the blade

Get a tomato knife and another chefs knife, or a Santoku if you prefer a flat blade. I prefer a chefs knife and wish I had gotten a second one instead of the Santoku.

Yes. Very well. In fact, grind lemons, skin and all. It helps to cut lemons, but tomatoes can be ground whole. Slice cukes, apples. Cut carrots. Add water. Shake it up. It's a great machine. Enjoy!

I use it to slice my homemade cheese, and it works well for me. You have to go slower than with meat, but it does slice well.

Don't know about bread but great for meat and cheese. It will slice to a little over a half inch thick.

Yes, especially processed meat. Works fine cutting through a sandwich with cheese and deli cuts as well.

As long as the bread isn't still warm (just out of the oven), I would think you would be able to slice with this knife. I bake a multi-grain bread in my breadmaker and as long as I let it cool I can slice it with little to no problem.

They can get easily cut sandwiches but would take forever since they are very small. They are around an inch and a half big.

I had a knife go from too dull to slice tomatoes to sharp enough to open the back of my hand with just the weight of the knife (I applied no pressure with my hand). So, pretty damn sharp.

I was skeptical of the quality for the money. We make our own bread and prefer crusty and hearty breads. This knife has worked well for five months now. You can slice bread very thin with little effort. Hope this helps
