Ham knife I believe...Sab experts?

[Dave Martell]

I believe that this has been called a ham slicer by many manufacturers but this is technically a beef/meat slicer (that is also used for ham) whereas a true ham slicer has a pointed tip that looks like it's broken but isn't. The rounded tip was introduced for serving lines where the need for a pointless knife shaped object was necessary for safer plating.

Ohhhhh...

Ham slicer(?)

Great! Misono's kid's knife!

It's a ham knife. The Glestain Salmon slicer is the modern version of it. It's called a ham knife because it is round on the end. When working at a buffet station slicing ham you can use the knife to put the slice of ham on the customer's plate with no danger of accidentally stabbing the customer.

Ooo... hmmm. I'm going to start looking at the salmon slicer completely differently now.

Thanks for the explination!

I'm going to have to google image this...

Thanks for the explanation!

LOLOL Clearly, yes.

No joke though, that thing is sharp. I was an idiot and let my guard down holding it, then cut myself with it. I felt silly for the rest of the day.

True! The Misono kids' knife is actually a very cool, very useable little knife! I know someone in the industry who has a thing for them. Haha. The worst part is...I completely get it! They're very cool!

It's a great knife. I love using it for buffet service. It's also excellent for cutting cheese cake. I've seen a few places that serve smoked salmon on a buffet. Again, the rounded tip you don't have to worry about accidentally stabbing someone.
