Simmons Knife & Saw
Simmons Knife & Saw has been manufacturing bread slicing blades since its founding in 1946. Obviously, a lot has changed since then, but our bread bands and blades for reciprocating bread slicing machines continue to be the industry standard. Reciprocating Bread Slicing Blades These blades are always manufactured from the finest carbon or stainless steel and always yield fast, clean cuts with minimal crumbing, no matter the type of bread. For those in need of a custom blade, Simmons can craft reciprocating bread slicing blades in a variety of widths and lengths. Just give us the length of the blade and a description of the holes, slots, rivets, or holders you need, and a member of our team will be in touch as soon as possible. Bread Slicing Bands Simmons’ Bread Slicing Bands are produced in matched sets to ensure equal tension in all blades on your commercial bread slicer. The bread slicing band’s individually ground scallops provide a clean cut through all types of bread and buns, resulting in significantly less crumbing and almost no pilling.
