Thanks to its anodized aluminum guide, cutting is performed safely with no risk of slipping.

Perfectly balanced, designed for both amateur cooks and professionals chefs, it is also particularly helpful for visually impaired users and anyone seeking consistent results in their food preparation.

The slice thickness is adjustable, allowing for slices up to 16mm (5/8″).

The BaouRouge Precision Slicing Knife is suitable for all types of foods, hard and soft, cooked and raw, ideal for cold meats, ham and sausage, bread loaves, cheese, fruits and vegetables.

Loosen the thumbscrew counter clockwise to adjust slice’ thickness by setting the guide on the handle’ rails. The cutting guide has a 1 to 16mm indicative scale. Once set, securely tighten the thumbscrew by turning it clockwise.

The cutting guide is about 2/3 the length of the blade, leaving the tip unencumbered for carvings and other free cuts. When you want to cut a slice, you will want to start your cutting motion near the handle, pulling the knife towards you.

Bring the knife to the product you want to slice, pressing the guide firmly and horizontally against the food to be sliced.

Proper position of the knife is against the guide, near the handle

Start your slice near the handle with a pulling motion, then pushing the knife forward and down as you cut through the food, then pulling the knife up and back towards you (in order to position it for the next cut if you have completed your slice). The sharp blade makes this practically effortless.

When you first begin using your Precision Slicing Knife, go slowly and enjoy the precision of your new kitchen cutlery. As you gain experience, you will be able to work more quickly. No matter what your experience, be careful and always pay attention to where your fingers are in relation to the knife.

Beware that an up-down (chopping) motion is unsuited for this type of knife.

Remember. As you near the bottom of the slice, from horizontal motion, start tilting your knife to a 25~45 degree angle so that the tip of the knife points downwards.

Initiate the slicing motion from the handle toward the tip and not the other way round

 

Finish your slice at this 25-45 degree angle by pulling the blade completely in a single motion. In this fashion, the blade will cut all the way to the bottom (if you maintain the knife horizontal, the height of the guide may hit the cutting board first and prevent the blade from completing the slice).

Always finish your slices at an angle

To use as an all-purpose kitchen utility knife, simply loosen and remove both the thumbscrew and the metal guide. To re-assemble, affix the guide on the rails, and insert the thumbscrew in position.

The knife (without the guide) can go into a dishwasher, but it is recommended that you hand wash your knife using warm water and a mild soap. Please refer in particular to this post on the Aluminum Guide Care for more information as the Aluminum is prone to oxydation from machine detergents.

Pro tip: To use your knife as a mandoline, rotate the knife a quarter turn to the right so that the blade is horizontal and the guide has its flat side up. Press the tip of the knife on a cutting board to slightly tilt the blade. In this position, it is no longer the knife that moves, but what you have to cut that slides on the guide: the knife is then used as a cutting board, which is very convenient, for example, for cutting thin slices of cucumber, carrots, potatoes or others. But beware of your fingers at the end of the cut!

Also, when slicing cheese, wet the knife often in clear water for smooth slicing!

Always be extra careful when using a tool with a sharp blade!
