Designed in consultation with professional chefs, this award winning Signature 30cm / 12 inch flexible slicing knife has a long thin blade which allows for good reach and accuracy when slicing delicate meat, poultry or fish. The flexibility of the long blade makes it perfect for cutting thin slices of smoked salmon or cured meats, and ensures ease of handling around the bone. An additional use is as a cake or sponge splitter, creating fewer crumbs than a serrated knife, with the blade length ideal for cutting slices of large cakes too.

Care
- Washing: Handwash recommended. Rinse to remove food traces, then wash gently in warm soapy water with a soft cloth. No need to soak. Dry each knife thoroughly and individually, and apply a non-abrasive metal polish for the best finish. Avoid scouring pads or abrasive cleaners, as these will scratch the surface.
- Chopping boards: Use wood or soft plastic boards to keep the blade sharp for longest. Avoid glass, stone, metal or very hard bamboo, which can dull or damage the edge.
- Handle care: Periodically apply a food-safe mineral oil to the handle to maintain its colour, wiping off any excess.
