Description
xPremium performance for serious home cooks
The SHAN ZU 12-inch slicing knife is crafted for precision and comfort, making it easier to tackle large cuts with controlled, clean slices. The long blade glides through meat, ham, and roasts, while the double-edged blade is expertly ground at a 15-degree edge, delivering a sharp, responsive feel in hand.
Materials you can rely on: this carving knife is forged from premium German 1.4116 stainless steel, offering strong edge retention and solid rust resistance. With a hardness tier of 55–57 HRC, it balances durability with the flexibility needed in daily kitchen tasks. The full tang runs through an ergonomic wooden handle, creating a balanced, confident grip and a built-in finger guard for safety.
Cutting efficiency you’ll notice: a centuries-old forging process yields an ultra-thin blade, and a groove design helps food release more easily, reducing sticking and improving cutting rhythm across thick roasts and delicate slices alike.
