Brisket Slicing Knife - Ultra Sharp Premium 11-inch Stainless Steel Carving Knife for Slicing Roasts, Meats, Fruits and Vegetables

I needed something to slice larger cuts of meat. I've used it on sous vide roast beef right out of the bag, seared, and rested, and I can slice it so thin, you can see light through it, almost like paper thin deli sliced. I've made some epic beef dip heros. I've also used it to slice up home cured and smoked bacon when I didn't feel like breaking out the meat slicer and cleaning up after it. Perfect slices. I couldn't achieve that with my $400 Henkel knives. The difference between using a chef's knife and this is that you can get one long even slice with this knife as opposed to doing 2-3 with a standard chef knife. You have more control and slice more evenly.It was nice and sharp right out of the box. It lives in its box when not in use. Using the right type of cutting board (endgrain wood. side grain is fine with maple but not as easy on the edge. resin and glass boards will destroy your blade), it'll be a while before I have to sit down and sharpen it. In the meantime, a little edge dressing, here and there, with a steel will keep it in check. Make sure you dry the knife before storing (you should do this with any chef knife after washing).

Razor sharp and glides through chuck roast like it was butter! I am very happy with this purchase, and can't wait to use it on a brisket. BUY IT. I am so pleased with this purchase!

I cook and cater all the time and this knife is one of the best I have ever used. Slices beautifully, even when you want to slice very thin.

(UPDATED BELOW)Seems nicely made but rather than the razor sharp edge I had been expecting it doesn't seem to have any indication of having ever been finish ground to an edge at all.When I have time after the holidays I'll see what I can do with it and update.UPDATE 4/25Because the blade is perfectly straight, sharpening this knife on a flat stone isn't a good idea.I bought a belt sharpener and it worked brilliantly to put a very nice edge on this. If you buy this knife, I recommend picking one up.This knife DOES take a nice edge and it slices chilled meats thin enough to read text through it.The down side is that it doesn't retain that edge for terribly long. It isn't going to just go dull immediately. It'll start getting noticeable after several uses. You're going to need to sharpen it fairly often.For the price it was a good value.If you're looking for something legendary, that isn't a reasonable expectation for this price range, BUT for home use occasionally for slicing chicken or roast beef for sandwiches this is a very reasonable purchase.
