Art Gladius 10-Inch "Jamonero" Slicing Knife, Walnut Handle

Masterful Slices with Elegance and Stability

This knife is designed for lovers of the perfect cut. Its long, thin blade, combined with a more substantial construction (weighing 217g / 7.7oz), ensures exceptional stability for smooth, even slices. It is ideal for:

• Slicing large cured hams with absolute confidence.
• Precisely carving hot and cold roasts, such as roast beef, pork leg, or turkey.
• Slicing smoked salmon and other large fish into translucent slices.
• Effortlessly cutting large cakes and desserts.

A Precision Blade for a Perfect Glide

The heart of the knife is a 10.2-inch (26 cm) blade made of high-quality 440 stainless steel, hardened to 58-60 HRC. This guarantees extremely long-lasting sharpness and resistance to corrosion. The blade surface features a luxurious mirror polish finish that minimizes friction. A key advantage is the Granton edge, which creates air pockets. This prevents even juicy or thin slices from sticking to the blade, ensuring a perfectly clean cut. The blade is delivered razor-sharp and ready for immediate use.

A Walnut Handle with a Unique Detail

The handle is crafted from a single piece of dark walnut wood, known for its beautiful grain, strength, and durability. Its simple, cylindrical shape provides a full and secure grip. A unique design element is the red accent rings at the transition between the wood and the steel bolster, giving the knife a distinctive character. The solid steel butt cap at the end of the handle ensures the knife is perfectly balanced.

Care for a Masterpiece Tool

To ensure this gem serves you for as long as possible, give it the care it deserves.
