[customtrim]

Thanks for any replies

[BigCountryQ]

what kind of slicing are we talking about here. Vegetable slicing, meat slicing........

[Mosca]

There is only meat.

I got this one, and it's pretty damn good. Not sure the AR code carried into the link.

I have that knife and it is the best! Crazy sharp.

[Mosca]

Thanks Fuzz!

I use a 12" Victorinox/Forschner for all my slicing needs. Fantastic value and a great knife. Full disclosure, I use their breaking knife and boning knife as well.

[EdF]

They consistently get "best value" from publications like Cooks Illustrated too!

[Spinaker]

Here is what I use. This thing is cheap, but it works like a charm. I have had it for over a year and probably 20 briskets or so later, its still sharp. The blade is really long, 12" , so you can slice all the way across the brisket. The blade is also a bit heavier in weight. Which is nice to get through the bark in tough spots. I have a expensive, Shun slicer, and my Dexter gets the nod over that when I do briskets.

Damn Right! @Craiger gets it!

How do you sharpen it Spinaker?

[Spinaker]

I haven't had too yet. But I would take it to a guy to sharpen it. it only costs about 5-10 bucks to have it sharpened. Skip

+1 On Victorinox/Forscner. I have the slicing knife in reply #3. Love the chef and boning knife also!!

I purchased a Mercer Culinary millennium slicer about 6
months ago, and I love it. I am getting ready to buy another.

They call it a bread knife, but it is excellent for roasts and brisket as well.

Bingo!!! I bought this very knife due to Spinaker 's suggestion last year. I use it exclusively now for slicing all of our meat.

[DWCowles]

I have had that same knife for 3 years now and still does a good job slicing meats

and fingers!

[Craigar]

DWCowles Ha! Yes, it does a very good job of slicing fingers. I think I finally got the hang of it as I haven't had to break out the Band-aids the last couple of cooks.

[fuzzydaddy]

I've added our AR code to all the Amazon links posted.

[GadjetGriller]

Check and see if you have a restaurant supply store near you. (one that allows the public as well) go and look at what they have! I have seen so many cooking shows where the proprietors use those type utensils (IE reasonably priced) for many years and love them! (look for NSF stamped on them somewhere means they are approved for commercial use.)

For slicing fresh bread I like an electric knife to minimize tearing. I haven't tried enough different brands to make a specific recommendation, however.

Sometimes my wife and I make sandwiches in quantity for church events. She likes to slice off the crusts, against my wishes. We stack the sandwiches, about 4 or five to the stack, and the electric knife is really slick for taking off the crusts.

​​​​​​​The electric knife also works well on turkey breasts. We take each breast half off the bird as intact as possible and slice crosswise like a roast. Shingling the slices makes a nice presentation.

I use a Rapala folding fillet knife. Super sharp!

[Spinaker]

Great knives!

[Gooner-que]

I got this one for Christmas and it is great.

I was given a Dexter knife at a contest last year (every team got one with the contest logo etched in). I love it. For the price, I'm buying that Dexter slicer above. Thanks, Spinaker! For high dollar knives, I love Wusthof. I still have some Forschner/Victorinox that get used too.

[Spinaker]

You bet. They are cheap, but they work like a charm!
