Ideal for cutting through a herb-crusted topping on your Sunday roast and enabling you to get a perfect slice every time, even from the largest joints – the long scalloped razor-sharp edge of the I.O.Shen Mizu Slicer glides through pork crackling and the ‘bark’ of a flame-roasted or Cajun-style ‘blackened’ joint even after hours of slow-cooking in your barbecue or oven. Also benefitting from I.O.Shen’s lighter weight, medium-sized handle for easier handling, the rounded end of this knife can be used for spreading thick sauces or glazes just like a palette knife.

Designed by experts for experts, this 14″ serrated knife has been developed with help from British barbecue gurus like Alvin Harris aka DrSweetSmoke and Marcus Bawdon, the editor of UK BBQ magazine, who rates this as “a stunning blade” while Dr Sweetsmoke says: “This is 14″ of laser-like steel finesse, combined with the perfect amount of flex for smooth, single stroke cutting.”

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.
