Ham knives
The ham knife is a knife with a long, thin blade with a rounded tip. There is no depth to the blade as this knife is primarily designed to remove thin slices of ham from the bone. This knife can also be used for any fine slicing, including slicing smoked salmon or fish for sashimi. The blades of some ham knives are fitted with slots. The air that circulates between the meat and the knife prevents the meat from sticking to the knife. The fact that it is also very decorative is certainly a bonus.

Blade size greatly influences the choice of tool
It helps determine the cutting capacity. For example, a 330 mm diameter blade is recommended for a 260 mm cut. With a 250 mm blade, the cutting capacity is 215 mm. A knife with a 370 mm blade is suitable for all ham sizes. On the other hand, a 195 mm model is reserved for rosettes or sausages. The choice depends on the daily volume of food to be cut. Likewise, restaurants or caterers are advised to prefer a blade between 250 and 300 mm. For cooked meats, it is better to choose larger models. As for the material, the blade is available in stainless steel, aluminium, etc. Khurts offers you a wide range of ham knives in every blade size and in different materials. Simply choose the model you need.
Another decisive criterion when buying a ham knife is the rotation speed
It allows precise and smooth cuts to be made effortlessly. Note that blade size affects speed. In other words, a large blade has a lower speed than a small blade. However, power can also affect speed, even with a larger diameter blade.
Slice thickness is the last important element for a ham knife. Existing models generally offer adjustable slice thickness. This adjustable option allows you to adapt the cut according to your needs or orders: thin or thicker slices.
The handle: for a firm grip
The best knife for carving ham must have a comfortable and well-balanced handle to allow you to cut thin, even slices without tiring quickly. It must be wide enough to hold in the hand and non-slip so that you have a firm grip.
It features a water-resistant polypropylene handle. The handle is seamlessly attached to the blade to avoid gaps that could trap small pieces of meat. This feature, combined with the water resistance of the handle, guarantees hygiene, as any trapped piece of meat and moisture attract potentially dangerous germs.
