Product Information
Full details
The Gustav Emil Ern Serrated Slicer is a professional-grade cutting tool designed for both home cooks and culinary experts who demand precision and durability in their food preparation. Crafted in Solingen, Germany, this 12-inch slicer excels at handling crusty breads, delicate pastries, and tough-skinned produce with minimal effort. While its large size provides excellent reach and efficiency for large roasts or loaves, its 30.5cm length may feel unwieldy for those with limited counter or storage space.

FAQs
Is this knife dishwasher safe?
While the materials are durable, hand washing is highly recommended to preserve the edge sharpness and the handle finish.
Can I sharpen the serrated edge myself?
Serrated edges require a specific honing rod or tool designed for serrations; standard flat sharpening stones will not work effectively.
What is the total length of the knife?
The blade itself measures 30.5cm (12 inches), with the total length including the handle being slightly longer.
Is the handle real wood?
No, the handle is made of a hygienic synthetic material designed to provide the look and texture of wood without the maintenance requirements of natural timber.
Where is this knife manufactured?
This slicer is crafted in Solingen, Germany, a city globally recognized for its long history of premium knife manufacturing.
What is the best way to store this 12-inch slicer?
Due to its size, a magnetic wall strip or a large universal knife block is ideal to keep the edge protected.
Troubleshooting
The knife feels like it is tearing rather than slicing.
Apply a gentle sawing motion rather than downward pressure to allow the serrated teeth to do the work.
Dark spots or residue appearing on the blade.
Ensure the knife is thoroughly dried immediately after washing and avoid prolonged exposure to acidic food juices.
Pros and Cons
Pros

- Hygienic synthetic handle remains easy to sanitize

Setup, Compatibility & Care
This slicer is ready for use immediately upon unboxing. To maintain its longevity and peak performance, avoid using glass, ceramic, or stone cutting boards, as these surfaces can dull the serrated teeth prematurely; a wooden or high-quality plastic board is recommended.
While the synthetic handle is highly durable, hand-washing with mild soap and warm water is strongly advised. Dry the blade immediately after cleaning to prevent water spots and to maintain the integrity of the steel. Store the knife in a knife block, on a magnetic strip, or with a blade guard to protect the edge from damage and to ensure household safety.
