Scottish smoked wild salmon are high-status foods that demand careful slicing as close as possible to the time of serving, the long, thin, slicing machine is just the tool for the job. Like the sashimi cutting blades, the slicer is long, allowing a slice to be taken with a single stroke and avoiding unpleasant ‘sawing’ marks on the cut surface of the food. The blade is flexible so it can be bent flat against the inside of the salmon skin at the end of the stroke. Because the blade runs parallel to skin, it need never touch them, or indeed, the cutting board. A slicer, therefore, if used carefully, can be given a much more acute and ultimately sharp grind than other knives because it’s never going to be traumatised by hard stuff

Molybdenum stainless steels are a general class of Japanese steels that have a higher content of molybdenum than standard stainless steel knives. While all stainless steel knives have 10.5% or more chromium, not all have molybdenum. Molybdenum increases the corrosion resistance of stainless steel, making its use in kitchen knives particularly useful.

Currently our most popular series, the Professional Series features a thin 2.0-2.5mm blade for less wedging into cuts and an added bolster on the handle for weight and balance.  Most of the knives in this series are made with our Original steel with the exception of the MSK-65 and MTH-80 which use the Superior steel. The weight of the bolster in combination with the thin blades makes these knives extremely well balanced in the centre of your hand when using a Chef's grip; allowing you to cut through most foods using minimal effort.  Except for the MTH-80, MSK-65, and MSL-105 which feature elevated handles, these knives have traditional European shapes with a straight handle and pointed tip.
