Carving & Slicing Knives
Carving and slicing knives are designed to be used when slicing meat. Both carving and slicing knives have long, thin, blades that typically range from 8 to 14 inches in length. This enables the user to create a long slice of meat or fish in a single stroke avoiding unnecessary back and forth sawing motions that tear at flesh and jeopardize the cleanliness of the cut. The thinness of the blade lends versatility to the carving knife which is often used by chefs when slicing wellington, cordon bleu, and other breaded dishes. Carving knives come to a sharp point unlike slicers also known as slicing knives. The tip of a slicing knife has been rounded for the protection of anyone on the other side of a carving station who may be overly eager to reach in for an extra helping of roast beef. Note that a Granton or Kullenschliff edge is most appropriate when applied to this knife shape as opposed to any other.

Shun Kanso 12-inch Slicer (SWT0778)
Precision Engineering for the Professional Carving Station When the rush hits and you’re faced with forty pounds of brisket or a dozen prime ribs, your knife shouldn't be the bottleneck. The Shun Kanso 12-inch Slicer (SWT0778) is specifically engineered to handle the largest proteins with a single, fluid motion. At 305mm, the blade length allows you to draw the edge through the meat without the 'sawing' motion that tears delicate fibers and releases precious juices. This is a tool designed for the chef who values both visual presentation and speed. The Kanso Philosophy: Beauty in Simplicity 'Kanso' translates to 'simplicity,' but don't mistake the rustic look for a lack of sophistication. The heritage finish on the blade hides scratches from daily use while the high-vanadium AUS10 steel stands up to the rigors of contact with joints and connective tissue. Unlike thinner, more brittle slicers, this blade offers a 3mm spine thickness, providing the stability needed to maintain a straight path through dense cuts of beef. Industrial-Grade Ergonomics The handle is crafted from Tagayasan wood, known in Japan as 'Iron Sword Wood.' It is incredibly dense and moisture-resistant, ensuring that the knife remains balanced and secure in your hand even during a 12-hour banquet shift. Whether you are a professional pitmaster or a home entertainer who takes pride in Sunday roasts, the Kanso Slicer delivers a combination of Japanese sharpness and industrial-strength durability.
