Norvic Pitmaster 12" Slicing Knife

• Long blade for smooth drawing cuts
• Double bevel edge for controlled slicing
• Hand sharpened in Norfolk and diamond stropped using 1 micron paste

The Pitmaster slicer is designed for the final cuts after a long cook. Its 12 inch blade suits brisket, gammon and roast meat, with an ebony handle for control.

You don’t spend 14 hours managing a fire, wrapping in butcher paper, and building the perfect bark, just to tear it to shreds at the finish line.

We adopted this knife because the UK BBQ community was asking for a serious, purpose-built slicer that didn’t cost the earth. You needed something long enough to handle a massive brisket in one smooth draw, without sawing back and forth. Something to make light work of that succulent gammon joint after the cook, but then be able to thinly slice it as ham the next day.

We started with a massive 12-inch blade forged from heavy-duty X50 steel, a true workhorse stainless alloy designed to take a beating on the board and resist corrosion. A beautifully finished Ebony handle with a western style feel help to keep this knife feeling precise and controllable despite its length.

But the real magic happens in Norfolk. Every single one of these slicers is brought into our workshop and hand-polished on the buffer wheels until it holds our signature edge polished using 1 micron abrasive.

The result? The knife does the work. You just guide it. Pitmasters who have tested this slicer all report the exact same thing: it glides cleanly through the fat and meat, leaving the bark completely intact for a flawless presentation.

A premium, razor-sharp tool, built for real BBQ and real meat.

The Details:

• Blade Length: 12 Inches (300mm) - Built for single-draw slicing.

• The Steel: X50 High-Carbon Stainless Steel.

• The Grind: 50/50 Double Bevel to 15 Degrees per side. (Unlike single-bevel Japanese sashimi knives, this cuts dead straight through dense meat without "steering").

• The Norfolk Finish: Hand polished using 1 micron abrasive for a hair shaving edge in our UK workshop before dispatch.

• Warranty: Backed by the Norvic Lifetime Guarantee.

(Note: Hand wash and dry immediately. Never put your Norvic in the dishwasher)

About the finish: 1 micron refers to the size of the diamond abrasive used during finishing. It is not a measurement of the finished cutting edge.
