The Wusthof Gourmet 11" Salmon Slicer is the ideal tool for preparing and carving a salmon. With its flexible and extremely sharp blade, this knife slides easily through fish and is particularly suitable for salmon as it allows for the cutting of wafer-thin slices. The dimples - slight depressions near the edge of the blade - create small air cushions that prevent the fish from sticking to the knife. GOURMET laser-cut knives are crafted in the company's factory in Germany. Well-balanced and durable, GOURMET knives are made of high-carbon stainless steel. GOURMET knives feature a new handle design made of a highly durable synthetic material – Polyoxymethylene (POM) – which has a tighter molecular structure to resist fading and discoloration.
