Victorinox Cutlery 12-Inch Semi-Flexible Slicing Knife, Black Fibrox Handle

I grew up in a restaurant family, and I love nice knives. When my wife and I were married, my brother gave us a set of mismatched high end restaurant knives, including a 12 inch slicing knife, and they are still a joy to use. When my daughter asked where she could find a "watermelon knife" I started looking for something similar to the slicer, and I discovered this. It's a little wider than I would have liked, but it's well worth what it cost and more. My daughter loves it.

Big as in long, NOT heavy. Could be too big for many people - I like big knives and big cutting boards; Da Boss (my Wife) likes small knives and small cutting boards. but I'm big and She's not. This knife slices like a demon. You probably would not want a bigger slicing knife.

I have been in the business for many years and have used many different slicers and for the price it is, you are getting superior quality that will not lose its edge, unless you let it

it made cutting big stuff for preparing in the kitchen easier. it would definitely made my day and the eagerness to cook more inspiring..
