Sourdough bread has a thick, crusty exterior and a soft, airy crumb. Most regular knives require downward pressure and repeated sawing, which often crushes the bread, tears the crumb, and creates unnecessary crumbs.
A bow knife works differently. Its long, curved blade slices through the crust using a smooth back-and-forth motion, allowing the bread to be cut cleanly with minimal pressure. The result is even slices, less mess, and bread that keeps its structure — exactly how sourdough is meant to be enjoyed.
