Granton ham knife - precise slices with minimal resistance
This 31 cm long Granton ham knife with a wooden handle is specifically designed for cutting thin, even slices of ham and other charcuterie items. The blade features the distinctive Granton air pockets that minimize friction between the knife and the food. Made from Sheffield plate steel with a hardness of 56 HRC, it ensures long-lasting sharpness.
Ideal for professional chefs and food enthusiasts who appreciate precision and control when slicing delicate meat products.
Precision slicing with air pockets
The iconic Granton air pockets, invented in 1928, make a significant difference in cutting. The small indentations on both sides of the blade reduce the contact area between the knife and the food, preventing slices from sticking to the blade. This design allows you to cut extremely thin slices without tearing or crushing the meat. Additionally, the long, slender 31 cm blade provides optimal control throughout the cut, enabling you to slice uniformly from end to end.
Durable Sheffield steel and comfortable wooden handle
The knife is made from classic Sheffield plate steel with a hardness of 56 HRC – a perfect balance between sharpness and durability. This quality steel actually improves each time it is sharpened, making the knife a long-term investment for your kitchen. The ergonomic wooden handle fits naturally in your hand and provides a secure grip during use, even during extended cutting tasks. Weighing just 120 grams, the knife is light enough to prevent hand fatigue during larger servings.
Maintenance and care
To maintain the quality and sharpness of the knife for as long as possible, it should always be hand-washed and dried immediately after use. Avoid the dishwasher, as it can damage both the blade and the wooden handle. With proper maintenance and regular sharpening, this Granton ham knife can accompany you in the kitchen for many years. The knife can be professionally sharpened to retain its special air pockets and optimal sharpness.

- Precision slicing with minimal effort thanks to the friction-reducing air pockets
