Your question isn't specific enough. Generally speaking, bread is best cut with an extremely sharp thin knife or best yet a thin serrated “bread knife”. Thin wire in a handle like a large cheese cutter has also been used. All three types require a light steady sawing motion to avoid compressing the bread. If you are doing something like Sandwiches for tea. Bake the bread per usual and turn out on a rack. Let the bread become stone cold and aired out on the rack as moisture and heat will spoil your work, then use a bread knife and a sawing motion, cut the sides and ends off in smooth slabs. Unless you need bread crumbs for stuffing, croutons, bread pudding etc. or you like feeding ducks, this wastes a lot of bread, and it takes some practice so as to end up with square sandwiches. Many hostesses therefore use store bought sliced bread and cookie cutters, but as I don’t, I cannot advise you regarding their use. If you are given a piece of bread or sandwich at the table that has a crust, it is very rude to cut or tear the crust off at the table or to eat only the soft part, leaving the crust behind and crumbs all over the table and floor. Do that at my table and you won’t be invited again. Do that at a company lunch counter or business affair and you can kiss your promotion good-by. I’m not kidding. Your table manners reveal volumes about your character and training. And as only children do this, it marks you as that kind of particularly unpleasant, selfish, self-centred, stubborn, childish person that nobody wants to know, and that no business wants representing them. If you are at restaurant, specify that you want the crusts removed when you order, or better yet don’t order bread as most restaurants no longer know what fine dining is any more anyway, and it’s nearly impossible to remove the crusts from the usual dinner rolls and biscuits. If on the other hand, you are an Elizabethan reinactor, then cut or peel away the crusts to your heart’s content and throw the crusts to the dogs. Elizabethans were pigs at table, the crusts of their bread were filthy and vile from handling, and as their only concern was not spotting their fine clothes, they often did things like tucking the tablecloth in at the neck or belt !!! If you are asking about cutting the dough before baking, often called ‘slashing’, any very sharp knife may be used in a slashing motion. If the cut isn’t deep enough, repeat with another slashing stroke --- do not saw. In some ancient cultures bread was never cut, only broken into individual portions, for the reason that it was difficult to get very thin sharp knives suitable for cutting bread, and/or for superstitious reasons. Good table manners thus required that Jesus, as host or most honoured guest, to break the bread for the rest at the Last Supper.
