12 inch - Slicer knife The way you slice your meat has a huge impact on the look and taste of your finished product. With a length of 12 inches (30cm), this knife allows you to easily cut thin slices of your meat in a single stroke. The knife also works as an excellent bread cutter or for cutting large pieces of meat such as steaks, turkey or ham. The recessed blade edge reduces friction causing less damage to the meat - High quality German steel for unmatched performance and incredible sharpness. The heat and cold treatment of the steel provides exceptional strength, flexibility and good corrosion resistance to make this your knife for life. - A blacksmith with more than 20 years of experience has hand-sharpened the knife's blade to a staggering 12-15 degree angle on each side using the traditional 3-step Honbazuke method. This process ensures a razor-sharp cutting edge in all positions.
