Slicing Knives
Slicing knives perform a similar role to a carving knife, although they are is generally longer and narrower. Slicers can have either plain or serrated edges and often incorporate blunted or rounded tips. Some more expensive brands also feature Granton edge (scalloped blades) to improve meat separation. Slicers are designed to precisely cut smaller and thinner slices of meat, and are normally more flexible in order to accomplish this task. Ham and Salmon slicers are common varieties, though cooks can use them for all slicing jobs including slicing ham, roasts, fish, or barbecued beef and pork. This page also lists other kitchen equipment used for slicing.
