> 24 hourAt 12, it is long & a bit difficult to handle because of the length, but its a great knife.

> 24 hourOh my, sharp, such smooth even slices. I bought this to slice meat for jerky, best buy since my dehydrator, maybe better. I started to make jerky for high protein, low carb, low sugar snacks. If youve never had fresh warm jerky, you have missed a true treat. Home made beats the packaged brands less cost, and allows for a variety of meats and flavors (beef, chicken, pork, spicy, teriyaki.....). I Tried it on two eye of round roasts, as I was anxious, the first was chilled firm, but not as solid I usually had to for the knife that came with my old slicer set. The difference was like night and day, smooth cuts, no sawing. Cuts were uniform, no blade flexing making uneven spots, cut all the way through (horizontally under the meat), no tapering, didnt have to move the roast to orient to a trailing edge. finished slicing in 1/3 the time too. Then when I would have had to switch blades to trim to size, once again this knife did the job, cutting like soft butter, and because of the length I got some fantastic pieces. The second roast was a bit firmer, I tested other cuts, first I took rounds off the thick end, even tried some free hand (with out the slicer form, just this knife), and finished with the slicer unit, the knife started sharp and remained sharp. I even though about donning a cutting glove, as I got near the end of my task, with the meat being about twice the width of the slice. This knife also was great with some left over turkey breast, I can hardly wait to use it on the holiday ham. If there was any downside, it was the packaging, a plastic bubble, that while allowing a good view of the knife and keeping the edges protected during shipping, may lack the elegance of a box that some people may desire. It also lacked an edge guard, but with only adults in the kitchen, it is not an issue for me. Personally I would rather have a good knife, the package doesnt matter when it in use, and thats what this is. A very good knife. Final notes - the Fibrox handle was very comfortable at different cutting angles. It has a dual sided Granton blade. The blade is well balanced and centered in the handle, and should be usable right or left handed. For a 12 inch blade it is very light and maneuverable. The blade is Swiss made, and NSE certified. It is supposed to be dishwasher safe, though I would be sure to place it in a way other items wont bump the cutting edge.

> 24 hourI own the non-serrated 12” Victorinox Fibrox with the granton edge and absolutely love it. It is extremely sharp, has great ergonomics, a very comfortable handle, and is very reasonably priced. I decided to get this serrated version as I find a serrated edge to be better for getting through crispy bark on things like a long-smoked brisket. Although both knives are from the same Fibrox series, that is where the similarity ends. The serrated knife is lighter, with a much lower blade height, has a lot more flex, and doesn’t have the balance or the granton edge. I ended up returning it in favor of the Dexter-Russell 12” with scalloped edge (see separate review).

> 24 hourBought because we have the 8” chefs knife and love it. This brisket knife is the perfect length to slice without having to make multiple cuts. Glides through meat like it’s butter. 10/10 would buy again and strongly recommend to anyone looking for a carving knife.

> 24 hourThis knife is perfect for slicing roasts with. I had cooked a large rib roast, and this knife worked wonderful for slicing either steak thickness or thin slices for sandwiches. It comes extremely sharp (watch your fingers!), and cuts through meat very easily. I believe the Granton style blade helps with this.
