Chef’s Slicing Knife, 10″, by Forschner (Old Sku 40044) -5.4500.25

The Victorinox 40044 Chefs Slicer Carving Knife is an excellent tool for producing thin cuts of meat quickly. Designed and built with the same high-quality standards that make Victorinox a popular cutlery choice, the stamped construction provides a thinner, lighter blade for a more precise slice. The simple, straight edge is great for smoothly rocking the knife to provide a more precise cut. Only 10 inches tip to handle, perfect for all sizes of chef!

It has a rosewood handle, adding a touch of class to any culinary setting. As with all Victorinox knives, the handle is ergonomically designed to minimize wrist tension and provides a natural fit. Hand-washing of wooden handles is recommended.

The blade has an exceptionally keen, razor-sharp edge. 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.
