The Zyliss 7.5-Inch Carving Knife has a slightly thinner blade that allows for cutting precise slices of cooked meat and poultry. Aim to slide the knife forwards and backwards just once as you push down through each slice rather than a sawing motion. This will give your cuts a nice smooth, uniform texture. Blade also has a slight flex to enable even thinner slices. Blade made from high-grade Japanese stainless steel with a Rockwell hardness of 50-52C which holds a sharp edge well and is easy to re-sharpen. Knife has a sculpted, ergonomic handle with textured soft grip so it is easy to hold, even when hands are wet. The distinct color and nonstick coating makes knife easy to identify and easy to clean. Knife includes a blade cover for safe storage and makes the knife easy to transport when on-the-go. Dishwasher safe. By Zyliss. Zyliss is a Swiss company that's been around for over 50 years.
