Granton Ham Knife – Precise Slices with Minimal Resistance
This 31 cm Granton ham knife with a wooden handle has been developed specifically for cutting thin, uniform slices of ham and other charcuterie. The blade features Granton's characteristic hollow-ground dimples, which minimise friction between the knife and the food. The knife is made from Sheffield plate steel with a hardness of 56 HRC, ensuring long-lasting sharpness.
Ideal for professional chefs and food enthusiasts who value precision and control when slicing delicate meat products.
Precision Cutting with a Granton Edge
Granton's iconic hollow-ground dimples, invented in 1928, make a significant difference when slicing. The small scallops 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 compressing the meat. The long, slender 31 cm blade also provides optimal control throughout the entire cut, so you can carve uniform slices 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 wear resistance. This quality steel actually improves with each sharpening, making the knife a long-term investment in the kitchen. The ergonomic wooden handle sits naturally in the hand and provides a secure grip during use, even during extended cutting work. Weighing just 120 grams, the knife is also light enough to prevent hand fatigue when carving for larger servings.
Maintenance and Care
To preserve the knife's quality and sharpness for as long as possible, always wash it by hand and dry it 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 will serve you in the kitchen for many years. The knife is best sharpened professionally to maintain the special hollow-ground dimples and optimal cutting performance.

- Precision cutting with minimal effort thanks to the friction-reducing Granton edge
- Durable Sheffield steel with 56 HRC hardness that retains its sharpness for a long time

Frequently Asked Questions
How does a ham knife differ from other kitchen knives?
A ham knife has a longer, slimmer blade (here 31 cm) and often a Granton edge, making it possible to cut very thin, uniform slices of ham and other charcuterie with minimal friction.
Can I sharpen my Granton ham knife myself?
It is recommended to have the ham knife sharpened professionally to preserve the special hollow-ground dimples. Routine maintenance can, however, be carried out with a honing steel.
