What customers say
This Wusthof slicer earns high praise for its specialized performance, particularly concerning delicate proteins like salmon. Users consistently report exceptional sharpness allowing the knife to glide through food without tearing. The 11-inch length facilitates smooth, uniform slicing across large fillets. A key feature is the hollow edge, which users confirm effectively reduces friction and prevents thin, moist slices from sticking to the blade. While stamped rather than forged, the knife offers a comfortable, lightweight balance for extended use. Despite a premium price point for a single purpose tool, the superior slicing precision and expected durability lead most customers to agree the investment is worthwhile for serious culinary tasks.
Know before you buy
The hollow edge features small indentations, or dimples, along the blade. These create tiny air pockets between the steel and the fish, which prevents delicate slices from sticking to the knife as you cut.
While specifically designed for salmon and other large, delicate fish, the 11-inch length and thin profile also make it excellent for carving roasts, hams, or turkeys into thin, uniform slices.
Yes, this model is dishwasher safe. However, to maintain the sharpness of the high-carbon stainless steel blade and the integrity of the handle over time, hand washing and drying immediately after use is recommended.
Full tang construction means the metal of the blade extends all the way through the handle. This provides superior balance, strength, and durability, ensuring the knife feels stable and secure in your hand during repetitive slicing motions.
This high-carbon stainless steel is a professional-grade alloy known for its excellent balance of hardness and corrosion resistance. It holds a sharp edge well and is relatively easy to hone when it eventually loses its initial bite.
