The shape of this blade is a little different. Just like my other picks, the blade is pretty thin. But look at how the height tapers slightly from bolster to tip. This makes the knife just a bit more maneuverable. If you like a heavy, balanced knife with a beautiful finish, look no further.
Craftsmanship is outstanding.
This knife does have the thickest blade, but it's still plenty thin enough for a great slicer. Making paper-thin cuts is just a bit tougher. In my testing, I kept running across salmon slicers. The blade is thin and flexible. Its narrow shape makes sense for cutting super-thin slices of salmon off a big fillet.
