I was looking for a slicer for brisket. I was almost pull the trigger to get a Mercer 14" granton edge slicer.
Then I did a but more research to see if I want a granton or straight edge. I found out the granton edge on the Mercer, or most others, are not real granton edge.
There is actually a company call Granton making the real thing.
The scallops/dimples on the "real" thing are all the way down the the edge and alternate from one side to the other which actually help cutting and not just for look... and air pocket to help not sticking.
I have a hard time finding anything regarding to the Granton brand knife because granton is a generic term now.
I hope someone here have experience with them and give me some clue how Granton brand compare to others.
For those who are interested in doing some reading.
