12″ Roast Beef Slicer Knife, Granton Blade, Round Tip, 1″ Wide Maple Wood Handle

The hollow ground, granton edge, allows food to fall away from the blade rather than sticking to it, helping the knife to cut more efficiently. Hollow ground blades have concave, beveled edges that are ground starting midway down the Blade, Round Tip, instead of at the spine. Use this versatile knife for everything from dicing onions to slicing a roast. Important change made to wood handles: Victorinox cares about the environment and due to new protections for Rosewood Trees, this item will no longer have the original Rosewood handles. The handles have been changed to maple wood that is stained in rosewood color.

Our classic, traditional Maple Wood handle is designed to provide maximum comfort at all times. Maple Wood handles feature a carved handle design with the unique beauty of natural Maple Wood, extra durable. A slicer serves a similar function to a carving knife, although it is generally longer and narrower. Slicers are often more flexible and as such are better suited for slicing ham or fish.

High carbon stainless steel blades are hand finished in Switzerland by skilled craftsmen. These blades do not discolor or stain. These knives are specially ground and tempered so that they can be re-sharpened over and over again, keeping a sharp edge throughout their lifetime.

Each Victorinox knife is stamped from a single sheet of metal. The blade is then hardened, tempered, ground down, polished, etched and finished. Swiss Army Victorinox provides professionals in food processing and preparation with superior quality, value-priced cutlery that enhances performance and increases productivity.
