Forschner by Victorinox - 40642 - Serrated Slicer - 14inch

Victorinox (Forschner) 14" slide with a serrated (wavy) edge. The blade is 1-1/4" wide at the handle. The serrated or wavy edge is best for slicing cold meat. The patented black Fibrox handle is hygienic and very sanitary, being NSF approved as minimizing crevices that would offer hospitality to bacteria. It is dishwasher safe, although hand-washing is recommended. The handle is ergonomically designed to minimize wrist tension. The handle fits comfortably into both large and small hands and remains slip-resistant even when the hand becomes greasy with fat during butchering. The high carbon, stainless steel blade is hand finished by skilled craftsmen at Victorinox in Switzerland. A special tempering process is used to produce an edge that can be resharpened over and over again. Each Victorinox knife is stamped from a single sheet of metal. The blade is then hardened, tempered, ground, polished, etched and finished. This Victorinox product, which is made in Switzerland, has been marketed in the U.S. under the R.H. Forschner brand name since 1937. As of 2009, it is now being sold in the U.S. under the Victorinox brand name. It was Forschner 40642, and is now Victorinox 40642. The original model number was Forschner 855W-14.
