I have a 12" F-Dick slicer, the one below but am looking for something short like 8". Haven't found one but know they exist. Any recommendations?
That style slicer is designed for long pulls that wouldn’t work with an 8” version.
Tell us why you want an 8” knife and what you will use it for, and we can better suggest a style to meet your needs.
Most chefs knives are 8-10 inches so you could start there but its not going to be a true slicing knife, more of an all purpose knife.
