Know before you buy
The 10-inch length is specifically designed for slicing large proteins like brisket, prime rib, roasted turkey, and ham. Its long, straight blade allows you to make clean, uniform slices in a single motion without sawing through the meat.
The quad-tang construction provides superior balance and stability, which helps reduce wrist fatigue during repetitive slicing tasks. It offers a secure, ergonomic grip that allows for better control when you need to make precise, thin cuts.
This knife is not dishwasher safe, as high heat and harsh detergents can damage the Pakkawood handle and dull the blade. You should hand wash it with mild soap, dry it immediately, and store it in a knife block or on a magnetic strip to protect the edge.
This German high-carbon stainless steel is known for excellent edge retention and durability. While it will stay sharp through many uses, you should maintain the edge with a honing steel before each use to keep it performing at its best.
Hammer Stahl offers a lifetime warranty against defects in materials and craftsmanship under normal use. This ensures that if you encounter issues related to the manufacturing of the knife, the brand will stand behind their product.
