• BLADE: The Granton edge, a series of scallops ground along the blade to create air pockets that reduce drag and suction as the blade moves through meat, was developed in Sheffield, England in the 1920s. Modern slicing knives the world over have adopted the feature.

• HANDLE: G10 is a synthetic composite, layered fiberglass cloth bonded with epoxy resin, used in everything from circuit boards to professional chef's tools for one reason: it doesn't move. It won't warp, won't shrink in dry kitchens, won't swell in wet ones, and stays balanced in the hand even after a long brisket or a holiday turkey. The Meat Slicer handle is shaped from solid G10 sized for control over the 12″ blade, built for stability through the long, drawing strokes that carving large cuts requires.

• CARE AND USE: Do not put in the dishwasher. Hand wash only with soap and hot water. Dry completely after cleaning to avoid rust spots.

• LIFETIME WARRANTY: Owned for life, backed for life. Every Forseti knife passes our six-point Bench Check before it ships. We stand behind that craft with a lifetime warranty against any fault in materials or workmanship, and we sharpen your knife free for life (you just cover shipping).
