The 28 cm slicing knife is a professional kitchen knife with a long, narrow blade, designed for hand-slicing meats and cured meats: roasts, roast beef, boiled meats, ham, coppa, salami and cured sausages in general. The long blade lets you complete the cut in a single pass, with no sawing motion, producing even slices of the desired thickness and a clean surface.

The usable blade length (28 cm) is the knife's defining feature: a long blade spans the entire cross-section of the piece in one stroke and is especially handy on large cuts (roasts, whole hams, loins). It is a manual cutting tool, an alternative or complement to a slicing machine when you want direct control over slice thickness and finish.

Care and when to replace it. For long service, hone/sharpen the edge regularly (steel or stone) and wash and dry the knife after use. Replace it when the blade shows chips or nicks that cannot be restored on the edge, when it is bent or deformed, or when it no longer holds an edge and the cut becomes irregular or requires excessive pressure (a sign of a worn or unsafe blade).
