How to choose your Slicer knife?

As the polyvalent knife par excellence, the mincing knife is indispensable in the kitchen. Whether you are a professional or an amateur, this knife allows you to cut all types of food with amazing precision. This essential cooking tool is perfect for all types of cutting. Thanks to this polyvalence and the thinness of its cutting, it can replace many specific knives. At Les Artisans du Couteau, each one of our knives is handmade in the best French cutlery tradition.

What is a mincing knife?

As the multifunction kitchen knife par excellence, the mincing knife owes this extreme polyvalence to its pointed blade measuring from 20 to 35 cm. The latter is convex, which allows separating the food with a swing movement.

This swing movement is efficient for all types of food. Therefore, by putting the point of the knife on the chopping board, all you need to do is to pull the handle down to cut your ingredients.

Meat, vegetables, poultry or fish, nothing can resist you.

2 criteria to choose your mincing knife

To make sure you find the best quality mincing knife, it is essential to pay attention to two elements: the blade and the handle.

The blade

An exceptional quality knife must ally elegance, sharpness and resistance.

Indeed, a blade which is not sharp enough may spoil your meal, while a blade with no refinement may ruin your cooking experience.

That is why we offer you satiny blades measuring 15 cm and made with 16% forged nitrox steel. They shall provide you with unfailing sharpness, as well as an inimitable style in the kitchen. Moreover, its professional steel remains sharpened even in contact with humidity or in case of impact. Consequently, our knives can last a lifetime.

The handle

In the kitchen, your knife is an extension of your arm, and the handle is the point of contact. Therefore, the perfect handle must combine elegance and efficient grip. Indeed, your hands are likely to be wet when you cut food, especially meat or vegetables. And you would certainly not want your very sharpened knife to slip from your hands.

That is the reason why, at Les Artisans du Couteau, we provide you with mincing knives with highly-resistant polymer handles. This polymer is designed for being skidproof, humidity-resistant and for providing you with unfailing grip.

Aesthetes shall also be pleased with this knife. Indeed, not only this handle is handy, but it is also designed for being very beautiful.
