This extra-long slicer packs a great deal of weight and is perfect for the chef with larger hands. The 10-inch blade is also an ideal size for carving larger turkeys, hams, or roasts (or the occasional peasant loaf). Its wavy, serrated edge slices cleanly without tearing meats, delivering slices of uniform thickness. Wüsthof's Grand Prix knives are formed with the perfect balance of high-carbon, no-stain steel so knives retain their edges longer and never become discolored. The blades are ground and polished by computer, ensuring perfect tapering from bolster to tip, and the edge is then hand honed for precision slicing. The tang extends through the slip-free, molded polypropelene handle for excellent balance and heft. This knife is dishwasher-safe, but hand washing is recommended to preserve the blade.
