Messermeister Meridian Elite Round-Tip Kullenschliff Slicer 25 cm

The Messermeister Meridian Elite Round-Tip Kullenschliff Slicer 25 cm (10 inch) is designed for clean, controlled carving of brisket, ham, turkey, and larger roasts. Its long, slender blade encourages smooth drawing cuts through cooked meat, while the rounded tip suits carving work. Alternating Kullenschliff hollows on both sides of the blade reduce drag and help food release during slicing.

Forged in Solingen, Germany, this one-piece, hot-drop hammer-forged knife is crafted from German 1.4116 stainless steel alloy for strength, toughness, and stain resistance. Heat treated and cooled to 57–58 HRC, the steel is engineered to handle everyday kitchen stress without being overly fragile, while remaining easy to maintain and re-sharpen when needed.

The 1.4116 alloy is also valued for excellent corrosion resistance thanks to its high chromium content, helping it resist rust, oxidation, and staining in busy kitchens. Its moderate hardness makes it responsive to regular maintenance, and the three-step 15° Elite edge is hand stropped on a cloth wheel to deliver a fine, polished cutting surface for dependable slicing performance over time.

The Meridian Elite series features classic triple-rivet, full-exposed tang construction with a black polyoxymethylene (POM) handle for durability and a secure, comfortable grip. A bolsterless heel lets you use the entire cutting length from heel to tip and simplifies honing and sharpening tasks, keeping the knife efficient for everyday carving and serving.

Care instructions:

Hand wash with warm water and a mild detergent, then rinse and dry immediately to protect the edge and finish.

Do not place in the dishwasher, and avoid cleaners containing bleach or citrus extracts. Store safely in a block, sheath, or on a magnetic rack to protect the cutting edge.
