If you have ever pressed a chef’s knife through a slab of fudge and watched the slice smear, this is the tool that fixes it. The Fudge My Life double-handled slicing knife cuts straight down through the whole slab in one press, so every piece comes out square, sharp-edged and ready to photograph. The knife does come with a protective sheath.
Why a double-handed knife cuts cleaner
With a handle at each end, you press straight down instead of sawing. The blade meets the bake flat and passes through in one motion, so soft centres are not dragged out of shape and crisp tops are not shattered. It is the same technique professional confectioners use, and it is far kinder on your wrists when you are portioning batch after batch. Some bakers know it as a double-handle knife or a two-handled cheese knife; ours is designed for bakers.
The fudge cutter we built the business on
Fudge is the hardest bake to cut well. It is dense, slightly sticky and shows every hesitation. A straight downward press with even pressure is the only way to get clean faces on every piece, and that is exactly what this knife is for. Wipe the blade between cuts and a whole slab portions up in minutes.
A brownie knife that keeps the top intact
Crackly brownie tops shatter under a sawing blade. Pressing down through them keeps the top whole and the fudgy middle in place, so the cut edge looks as good as the centre tastes. The same goes for millionaire’s shortbread: one press stops the caramel from squeezing out and the chocolate layer from cracking.
A traybake knife for everything else
Flapjacks, rocky road, blondies, sheet cakes: anything baked in a tray portions faster and neater with a blade that spans the whole tin. The 37.3cm blade clears most standard traybake tins in a single cut. Unlike the plastic traybake knives sold elsewhere, a stainless blade will not flex or bend mid-cut.
Which size do you need?
| Knife | Blade | Best for | Price |
|---|---|---|---|
| Small | 32.2cm | 9×9 inch and smaller tins, small batches | £29.99 |
| Medium (this knife) | 37.3cm | 9×13 inch and most standard traybake tins, the all-rounder | £34.99 |
| Set of three | 32.2cm, 37.3cm and 42.3cm | Adds the large knife for big slabs and deep trays | £79.99 |
Most bakers start with the medium. If you mostly bake in smaller tins, the small knife will suit you. If you cut big slabs or bake to sell, the set of three covers every job in the kitchen.

Frequently asked questions
How do I cut fudge without the blade dragging?
Press straight down with a handle in each hand rather than sawing. For very dense fudge, run the blade under hot water and dry it first, then wipe it clean between cuts. Every piece comes away with clean faces.
Is it dishwasher safe?
We recommend a quick hand wash. Stainless steel and nylon handle hot soapy water easily, and hand washing keeps the edge keener for longer than a dishwasher cycle will.
How do I look after the blade?
Dry it after washing and store it flat. The stainless blade will not rust with basic care, and the edge stays sharp far longer than it would bouncing around a drawer.
Which size do I need for a 9×9 inch tin?
A 9×9 inch tin is about 23cm across, so the small 32.2cm blade clears it comfortably. Choose this medium knife if you also bake 9×13 or want one knife that covers everything.
Can I get a custom size?
Yes. We make custom tools to order, so if your tins are an unusual shape or size, get in touch through the contact page and tell us what you are baking.
