Sakai Takayuki Grand Chef SP Slicer Knife, 270mm / 10.6" Paring Knives Forget those tiny 8" steels

Forget those tiny 8" steels that come in "sets" -- this serious 10" length is good for even a large chef's knife

Once you try a nice slicer like this you'll never go back to that thick and short "bread" knife that came with some set you bought years ago

Just as with the other knives in this series

Sakai Takayuki Grand Chef SP Slicer Knife, 270mm / 10.6" Paring Knives Forget those tiny 8" steelsThe Japanese equivalent of our traditional carving knife. A great addition to a growing knife collection, and an important tool in the kit of any working chef. This 270mm size is a popular choice for professional chefs and other users who might already be using a larger chef's knife and so find the extra length of the 270mm slicer worthwhile. For most home users though, I'd definitely recommend the 240mm (9. 5") length. Great for slicing big meats,
