Know before you buy
A 9-inch slicing knife is specifically designed to create thin, uniform slices of larger items like roast meats, smoked fish, and firm fruits or vegetables. Its length and slim profile allow for long, smooth strokes that prevent tearing or shredding delicate proteins.
Full tang construction means the metal of the blade extends all the way through the handle. This provides superior balance, stability, and durability, ensuring the knife feels sturdy and secure in your hand during repetitive slicing tasks.
Tru-Sharp stainless steel is formulated for a balance of edge retention and corrosion resistance. This means the blade stays sharp through regular use while remaining easy to maintain and resistant to rust, even when working with acidic foods.
Because the handle is made from natural solid walnut, it should be hand-washed and dried immediately rather than placed in a dishwasher. Periodically applying a food-safe wood oil will help maintain the finish and prevent the wood from drying out over time.
The limited lifetime warranty covers defects in materials and craftsmanship. While it does not cover normal wear and tear or dulling from regular use, it protects you against manufacturing issues that might affect the integrity of the knife.
