Slicing Knives

A slicing knife is a long, thin knife with a sharp, often flexible blade, designed for making clean, even slices of meat, poultry, fish, and other large cooked items. It's typically used for carving roasts, ham, or turkey, and can also be used for slicing fruits and vegetables. The long blade allows for smooth, continuous cuts, while the thinness reduces friction and sticking. The overall form is very similar to a carving knife but generally a slicing knife thinner and more precise.
