Glestain K Series 12.2-inch (310mm) Serrated Slicer

A 310mm serrated blade reaches across a whole brisket, a large boule or a sheet cake. This K Series slicer uses scalloped serrations to start the cut through bark or crust, and its long, thin blade finishes the slice cleanly.

The extra length matters most on large cuts. One long stroke through a brisket keeps the slice intact and the bark attached, which shorter knives cannot manage without sawing. The same blade slices bread and delicate pastries and cuts through firm cheese.

The handle has a bolster and no end cap. It suits catering, barbecue service and home cooks who handle large roasts and loaves.


Choosing a Serrated Slicer

The SO Series 310mm Serrated Slicer is the lighter, bolsterless version. The K Series 250mm Serrated Slicer is shorter. For slicing without serrations, see the 300mm Sujihiki. Our guide to knife shapes covers bread and slicing knives.

Care

  • Wash by hand with warm water and mild soap, then dry the knife at once. Do not put it in a dishwasher.
  • Acuto 440 resists stains but is not immune to them; do not leave the blade wet or soaking.
  • Cut on wood or plastic boards, and keep the edge away from frozen food, hard shells and heavy bone.
  • Hone between sharpenings with the Glestain hexagonal ceramic honing rod, and store the knife in a guard, a block or a case.
