I.O.Shen’s Miho Slicer Knife has a super-sharp Tri-Plex cutting edge along the full length of its impressive, semi-rigid 36cm blade, allowing for smoothly cut, uniform slices of meat or fish that will impress even the most discerning guests. Perfect for cutting super-thin slices of raw or home-smoked meat or fish, it has a rounded tip which can be used as a palette knife for spreading pastes or thick marinades and a lightweight, medium-sized handle for easy manipulation.

Designed by experts for experts, this 36cm (14″) long knife has been developed with help from British barbecue gurus like Alvin Harris (aka Dr Sweetsmoke) who calls it “14″ of laser-like steel finesse” and Marcus Bawdon, the editor of UK BBQ magazine, who says you need a big knife with minimal flex for slicing brisket, but also one that’s thin enough to “glide through like butter” – and confirms that the Miho Slicer fits the bill perfectly.

I.O. Shen knives offer a unique blend of Japanese and Western sensibilities, setting them apart from the traditional Japanese knife. Sure, their Triplex Steel Technology is a marvel, but the design elevates them to another level.

A Western Touch:

Most Japanese knives are known for their lightweight build and handles crafted from metal, bamboo, or wood. I.O. Shen takes a different approach, incorporating a distinctly Western influence. Their handles boast a satisfying weight, akin to a classic German knife, perfectly complementing the razor-sharp, 15° angled Japanese steel blade.

Beauty Meets Balance:

The artistry doesn’t stop at functionality. I.O. Shen handles feature the captivating Tai Tang pattern, adding a touch of elegance to your culinary arsenal. No wonder renowned Chef Felice Tocchini describes using these knives as “…like working with a piece of art.”

A Modern Classic:

Launched in 2004, I.O. Shen Mastergrade knives have become a favourite among professional chefs and home cooks alike. Their combination of innovative technology, superior craftsmanship, and stunning design makes them a true standout in the world of cutlery.
