Product Description
The Wusthof Classic Super Slicer is a long, narrow slicing knife with a wavy edge, forged from high carbon steel and fitted with a full-tang black polypropylene handle. The 26cm blade is designed specifically for drawing cuts through large joints, roasted meats, cured cuts and similar preparations where a smooth, single-pass slice is the aim. The wavy edge differs from a plain slicer in that it grips and bites into the surface of the food before the blade travels through, which is particularly useful on items with a crust, rind or firmer outer layer.
In a working kitchen environment, this knife earns its place on the carving station and at the pass. The blade length allows operators to work across large joints without lifting and repositioning mid-cut, which helps produce consistent slices with less effort over a busy service. The high carbon steel holds an edge well under regular use, and the Classic handle is a proven, familiar format that most experienced kitchen staff will adapt to quickly.
- Wavy edge handles crusted, rinded or firmer-surfaced joints without tearing
- Full-length blade reduces the need to reposition during a single cut
- High carbon steel construction supports reliable edge retention with regular honing
- Full-tang handle provides balance and control during extended carving work
- Dishwasher-safe construction simplifies end-of-service cleaning routines
As with all high carbon steel knives, some care is required — prompt drying after washing reduces the risk of surface discolouration over time, and regular honing will keep the edge performing as it should. This is a single-purpose tool; it excels at slicing but is not intended as a general-purpose knife.
The Classic Super Slicer suits kitchens where whole joints, large cuts of cured meat or whole fish feature regularly on the menu — carvery operations, hotel kitchens, restaurant pass stations and delicatessen-style counters are typical environments. For lighter or less frequent slicing work, a shorter slicer may be more practical to handle.
If you are unsure whether this blade length suits your particular service style or menu, our team is happy to help you think it through.

Frequently Asked Questions
- It depends on what you are carving. A wavy edge is particularly well suited to joints with a crust, rind or firmer outer surface, as the serrations initiate the cut before the blade travels through. For very soft boneless cuts with no outer crust, a plain-edged slicer can produce a slightly cleaner face. If your menu involves a mix of preparations, the wavy edge is generally the more versatile of the two.
- High carbon steel benefits from regular honing to maintain the edge between sharpening sessions. Prompt drying after washing reduces the risk of surface discolouration, which is a cosmetic rather than structural concern but worth managing. Polypropylene handles are robust and hygienic, though hand washing is preferable over time to preserve the handle finish.
- A 26cm blade is a practical length for whole roasting joints and large cuts, allowing a full draw cut without needing to reposition. For very large whole hams or salmon, some operators prefer a longer blade. If you are regularly working with particularly large or long cuts, it is worth discussing your typical preparations with us before ordering.
