Slicing Knives

Slicing knives have a rounded tip and a long straight cutting edge to allow large chunks of meat to be sliced into nice even pieces. A slicing knife serves a similar function to a carving knife, although it is generally longer and narrower. These are great for carving a ham, roast, or turkey. By reducing the amount of friction these knives can easily slice smoothly through the meat. Slicers may have plain or serrated edges.
