"Great addition to the kitchen"
I have had one of these for many, many years (I think it was one of my original Lakeland purchases) & I use it regularly. The blade is still as sharp as it was when I first got it.I only use it for slicing meats, as I can't carve a joint for love nor money, I end up with wedges of various thicknesses. I tend to buy a joint that is larger than needed for the Sunday roast & use the left over slices for packed lunches.There is definitely a knack to taking it apart to wash it & putting it back together but it is something that is worth mastering. It has paid for itself many, many times over the years. I'd hate to be without it.
