FAQ
What does a 290 mm salmon slicer do better than a chef's knife?
The salmon slicer's long, narrow, flexible blade cuts fish slices in a single pass without crushing the flesh — something a wide, rigid chef's knife can't do: it mashes the salmon fillet while sawing. Those 290 mm also slice carpaccio, cold meat or a rested rib rack. For portioning and chopping on a board, the chef's knife is still your tool.
Is the flexible blade a problem for cutting meat?
Not for slicing: the flex helps follow fish skin and produce even slices of rested meat. It is a limit if you try to cut through bone or press hard against a board, because the blade gives. For that use a stiff boner (Riviera 130 mm) or a butcher's cleaver (Wüsthof Cleaver).
Can it be sharpened with a pull-through sharpener?
Better not to overuse one: the blade is very long and thin, and a fixed-slot pull-through tends to round the tip and mark the flex. Realign it with the 230 mm Arcos steel each use and, when it loses bite, take it to a fine-grit stone. Hand-wash always; a blade like this pits quickly in the dishwasher.
