A long slicing knife for wafer-thin, even slices of ham, cured meats and fish. The fluted 30cm blade lets air between the food and the steel, so slices fall away cleanly instead of sticking.

- 67-layer VG-10 Damascus steel: Holds a keen edge, resists corrosion and shows a distinctive layered pattern.
- Hardened to HRC60+: A hard blade that stays sharp for longer.
- Olive wood handle: Warm natural wood with an opal-effect ring, comfortable and well balanced.
- Leather sheath and gift box: Protects the edge in a drawer, and arrives ready to give.

Questions and Answers
Q: Why is the blade fluted?
A: The shallow hollows along the blade create small air pockets between the food and the steel. Thin slices release easily instead of clinging to the knife.
Q: Can I use it for smoked salmon?
A: Yes. The long, fine blade suits delicate fish as well as ham and cured meats, giving thin, neat slices for presentation.
