Slicer

A slicer is a long, thin kitchen knife designed for making smooth, even slices of cooked or raw meats. Its narrow blade reduces drag so it can cut in long, continuous strokes without tearing, preserving texture and presentation. The pointed tip provides control for trimming and detail work. Ideal for roasts, brisket, ham, turkey, and other large proteins where uniform slices matter.

  • Expect oxidation (color change, staining, spotting) with use.
  • Prolonged exposure to moisture or food debris will cause rust; remove any rust with a light abrasive.
  • Use only on a quality wooden cutting board.
  • Do not use on hard surfaces like bamboo or plates.
  • Don't twist or scrape the edge on the cutting surface to avoid early dulling and edge damage.

Medium - Western Carbon

We recommend hand sharpening on whetstones to a low-medium finish starting around 400 and progressing to around 1000 grit with a monodiachrome strop finish. Gentle use with steel honing rods work well for as-needed edge maintenance. Avoid pull-through sharpeners and non-water-cooled mechanized sharpening. If you have to use a honing rod to be able to use the knife comfortably, it's time to sharpen the knife.

XC75

Carbon (C): 0.70–0.80% | Manganese (Mn): 0.4–0.6% | Silicon (Si): 0.15–0.35%

XC75 is a simple French/EU high‑carbon steel (akin to 1075) valued for toughness and easy sharpening. Around ~58–60 HRC it takes a very keen edge, is forgiving, and patinas readily—well‑suited to workhorse kitchen and outdoor knives with regular care.
