Mercer Culinary Renaissance 11" Granton Edge Slicing Knife — 11-inch high-carbon German steel, triple-riveted handle

The Mercer Culinary Renaissance 11-inch Granton Edge Slicing Knife is a precision-forged carving blade designed to produce consistent, paper-thin slices of meats and fish with reduced sticking.

This long, narrow knife combines high-carbon German cutlery steel with a Granton (scalloped) edge to minimize drag and food adhesion while you slice. Balanced for control and forged for strength, the blade and ergonomic triple-riveted handle are built to withstand frequent use in both professional and home kitchens. Follow hand-washing care to preserve the edge and finish.

How does the Granton edge improve slicing performance?

The scalloped dimples along the blade create tiny air pockets that help release slices as you cut, reducing resistance and preventing sticking. This yields cleaner, more uniform cuts with less tearing—especially useful for moist proteins and delicate fish.

• Scalloped Hollows: Reduce surface contact and drag.
• Smoother Release: Less food clinging saves time and effort.
• Uniform Slices: Ideal for presentation-ready cuts of salmon, ham, or beef.

What makes the blade and handle construction durable?

The blade is precision-forged from high-carbon German cutlery steel for lasting sharpness and edge retention. The handle uses a triple-riveted, ergonomic design that resists wear and provides a comfortable, secure grip through extended use.

• Forged Blade: One-piece strength for stability and balance.
• High-Carbon Steel: Improved edge life and consistent performance.
• Triple-Riveted Handle: Durable attachment with reliable feel.

Which foods and tasks is this 11-inch slicer best for?

The long, narrow profile excels at cutting thin, even slices from large roasts, whole fish, and poultry breasts. It’s intended for tasks where length and control produce consistent portioning and refined presentation.

• Large Roasts: Prime rib, brisket, or ham.
• Fish: Slicing smoked or cured salmon and whole fillets.
• Poultry: Turkey and chicken breasts for uniform serving slices.

How should I care for the knife to keep it performing?

Hand washing after each use with warm water and mild soap is recommended to protect the blade and handle. Thoroughly dry the knife immediately and avoid dishwashers and prolonged soaking to prevent corrosion and handle damage.

• Wash by hand: Use mild soap and warm water only.
• Dry immediately: Prevent water spots and corrosion.
• Avoid dishwasher: Heat and detergent degrade the steel and handle.
