Wusthof Knives At Williams Sonoma
Williams Sonoma has Wusthof knives at up to 65% off. If you sign up for their e-mail list you can also get free shipping or use code UPICK. The code is also good for 20% off of one item but Wusthof knives are excluded (darn!)
The Brisket Slicer is $99.95 http://www.williams-sonoma.com/produ...-gourmet-promo And their BBQ knife set is $299.95 http://www.williams-sonoma.com/produ...-gourmet-promo |
That is the gourmet model which is the entry level line. The same steel as the more expensive classic but stamped instead of hand forged.

I picked up this brisket slicer, just used it on 32 lbs. of brisket, cuts like butter

Oooo! A Wusthof cimitar. Nice.
None of the Wusthof line is hand forged anymore, and to be honest, there is a good argument against hand forging of commercial knives. |

Here is a discussion from when it was on sale earlier in the month. Post 6 has links to the development of the slicer is anyone is curious about what makes it different that other slicing knives. http://www.bbq-brethren.com/forum/sh...d.php?t=218457 |
Not labeled as a brisket slicer but they make a super slicer in the classic line but it's only 12".

Hand forging is a weird descriptor. It's not the like the days of the blacksmith or samuri anymore.
The two modern types of forging you'll most likely to see are hot drop (I'll assume that's what "hand forged" means) and modern milling. Modern forging is in some ways similar to the stamp method, but with the benefits of a forged blade such as weight, balance, durability, a proper bolster instead of the front of a handle to protect your hand and (to a lesser extent with stainless steel compared) keeping a sharp edge on a blade. Knives seem to be a hot topic around here. fwiw I like my chef's and paring knives forged for precision and balance. Boning and carving knives stamped for blade flexibility. |
Cutlery and more has the same BBQ Knife set for $279 plus free shipping.

Who wants a uni-tasker underachiever?? The super slicer does it all!
|
I have to wonder why, when anyone posts about the Grand Slicer (full disclosure, I own one) it comes about that many have to post that you can get a Victorinox cheaper and it's better or just as good?
Of course, you can get a cheaper knife. And, of course, you can get a cheaper slicer, that will slice brisket. |
Yep... As I said in the other thread, it's not for everyone, just like a Thermapen, but if you want an exceptional tool that does a great job, it can't be beat!

If I buy a knife designed for brisket will my food taste better? Don't need a dedicated slicer but I like the length over 10incher
|
I use mine for slicing most roasts that I cook, as well as tri-tips. It works fine, and no, your food will only taste as good as you cook. Same with mine. Unless I fall asleep, then it tastes less than as good as I can cook, but, as good as I cook while sleeping
