{"title":"Slicers, Carving Knives, Sujihikis","description":"\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eThese are what most people know as \"Carving Knives\". Good for slicing roasts, fowl, big fruits, etc. Sujihikis are the Japanese versions which typically are the same thing, but sometimes with a straighter edge profile, and as with most Japanese knives, they tend to be a bit thinner and sharper (which means they can require a bit more maintenance to keep that razor sharp edge, and they can be more fragile, with some risks of chipping\/cracking of the edge if abused or used with poor technique or hitting bones). Most knife \"sets\" come with 8\" slicers, but those are kind of short... if you're buying one separately, I'd recommend a 9\" or 10\" (or a 240mmm, which is about 9.5\" if buying a Japanese model). If you do lots of large meats, then a 270mm or 10\" or larger could make sense as well, as long as you have somewhere to store it safely (they won't fit in most knife blocks).\u003c\/span\u003e","products":[{"product_id":"wusthof-classic-ikon-6-inch-16cm-utility-sandwich-knife-creme-4506-6-16","title":"Wusthof Classic IKON 6-inch (16cm) Utility (Sandwich) Knife, Creme - 4506-6\/16","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eVersion of the popular 6-inch utility\/sandwich knife featuring the beautiful \"creme\" off-white handle!\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIdeal companion to a Chef's knife.

A great addition to a growing knife collection, and an important tool in the kit of any working chef. This 240mm size is the most popular, but many professional chefs still prefer to go to the longer 270mm version... for some and most other uses, I'd say the 240 is still plenty long, but I guess it would depend on the length of your chef's knife -- if you're already using a 240mm chef's knife, the 270mm slicer might make more sense. Great for slicing big meats, vegetables and fruits. Some people even end up using these knives are all-around kitchen tools because they're so comfortable to handle and slice so well (though for tougher items I'd still recommend a proper chef's knife). The blade is low profile, thin, flexible and extremely sharp -- a true high quality slicer. As with all Sakai Takayuki knives, I find the fit and finish and overall quality excellent, and the edge is very, very sharp and precisely ground and finished.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eAll Grand Chef series knives are made from high quality Bohler N685 stainless steel.

And when you maintain it, you should concentrate your sharpening and honing efforts on the right side of the blade. Of course if you sharpen both sides you're free to change the edge to a more symmetrical bevel, or even to a left-handed bevel (this is also more easily accomplished quickly and easily if you have an electric knife sharpener with a coarse stage, or a coarse sharpening stone). Or you can bring it to a professional knife sharpening service (a GOOD one that you trust!) who can re-grind the edge however you'd like. A symmetrical right\/left bevel (good for left or right hand use) in my opinion really won't diminish the performance much if you maintain it, so that's also a good option if you're left-handed or just want something easier to maintain.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Sakai Takayuki","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":37551123923127,"sku":"SAK-10223","price":216.95,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0507\/3177\/8231\/products\/t_798.jpg?v=1605110648"},{"product_id":"wusthof-classic-ikon-carving-set","title":"Wusthof Classic IKON Carving Set - 9647","description":"\u003cp\u003eBeautiful professional-grade carving knife and fork.
