Abstract: A bread cutting device including an open top container or box and a tray is removably mounted on the box and includes a plurality of parallel spaced rails which supports a loaf of bread to be cut. A lateral back stop is mounted at one end of the box and extends upwardly from the tray in position to be engaged by the end of the loaf. A pair of slicing guides are received within spaces between adjacent rails and each guide includes a series of parallel slits which extend from the upper end of the guide to a location spaced from the lower end. A knife inserted in aligned slits in the guides will cut a slice from the loaf and the crumbs fall through the spaces between the rails for collection in the box.
