Description: Handmade by Journeyman Smith Jim Arbuckle, this fine point slicer is a perfect choice for slicing in the kitchen. Fine cuts of fruits, vegetables, and meats are a breeze. The slender shape also makes this a great choice when removing silver skin from meat.
The 5-3/4 inch blade is formed from high performing 154CM stainless steel. It is hardened and triple tempered to 58-59 Hrc. A hand rubbed satin finish lends an heirloom quality. The blade is convex ground to minimize food sticking to the blade. Though this technique is much more difficult to create, it is much more effective than a granton edge, and is clearly worth the effort!
The contoured grips are formed from cocobolo Dymondwood and secured by nickel silver pins. By using Dymondwood, Jim ensures that it will hold up well to the demanding environment of either a home or commercial kitchen. A deep choil provides a comfortable, secure place to rest the first finger. The handle allows for several different grips and makes the knife easy to maneuver even with slippery hands.
A very attractive and functional tool for the kitchen, collector, or to be used out in the field.
