Crafted by 4th generation knife artisans in the historical cutlery city of Solingen, Germany, the Messermeister Meridian Elite 10 Slicing Knife, has a narrow spear-point, fine-edge blade that is used for medium to large carving chores. It separates meat from the bone and slices it into thin serving portions. The alternating kullenschliffs (a.k.a. kullens, hollows or grantons) on each side of the knife reduce drag and prevent items from sticking to the blade.
