Not sure if anyone else has seen this tread on BBQ Brethren but one of the US teams has been working with Wusthof to produce a new knife to slice your cooked briskets with. Not sure if Toby, Scott or John saw any of these at the Jack as i belive there were a few prototypes being tested.

Here is the link for the guy doing the development work on it.

From what i understand there is going to be a limited run of 1,500 units being produced and all of them are going over to the US They're expecting delivery on the 1st of December in time for Christmas.

I'll be looking to get an order in for 1 of these as soon as they become availabe, if anyone else wants to add to my order and split shipping and import please feel free to drop me a PM.

Not a Wusthoff or tapered but these do the job well and are very good value for money.....http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B004 ... e=&seller=

Sent an email to the Wusthof factory in Germany and the MD at Haus, will let you know what i hear back.

Just when I thought my Wusthof collection was complete, wonder if it will be available in time for next years season?

Have to agree with Joker Smoker these "ham slicers", mines a Victorinox, do a wonderful job BUT if ya gotta have toys knives are the way to go.

The scalloped edge on slicing knives was developed by a British company , Granton of Sheffield and in fact the generic term these knives have become known by is '' granton edged''.Now normally I would have to agree that Germany and Japan manufacture the best blades in the world but this is the one instance I always ''Buy British''. I would recommend these knives over and above their more glamorous foreign imposters and suggest you do too and save yourselves some money.
