Know before you buy
While it functions similarly to a bread knife, the Super Slicer features a longer, more slender blade profile specifically engineered for single-motion cuts. This design allows you to slice through large roasts or wide loaves without the sawing motion that can often tear delicate textures.
No, this knife is not dishwasher safe. High-heat cycles and harsh detergents can damage the high-carbon stainless steel blade and compromise the handle material, so we recommend hand washing and drying it immediately after use.
Yes, the scalloped edge is highly versatile. It is specifically designed to pierce tough skins—like those on tomatoes or crusty loaves—without crushing the soft interior, making it an excellent choice for delicate produce and large proteins alike.
Because of its length, this knife is best stored in a dedicated knife block, on a magnetic wall strip, or in a blade guard. Avoid storing it loose in a drawer, as contact with other utensils can dull the scalloped edge and pose a safety risk.
The rounded tip is primarily a safety feature that helps prevent accidental punctures while handling such a long blade. It also makes the knife slightly more maneuverable when navigating around large items like turkeys or roasts.
