Sure will Ice, hope it also helps solve the problem of trying to thinly slice my cold smoked back bacon as well! :-[ :-[ :-[

Previous attempts have been very hit and miss, although the misses typically come when i get hungry after a few beers!! ;) :D

Watch those "misses", Manxman.....don't want your new forum handle to be "Stubs"! ;)

Note to Gizmo....I definitely agree with you on the purchase/use of a knife. Each and every one of them has to be a separate and distinct test drive/feel/purchase. Wish you could take em' home for a week before purchase, especially at the prices they get! As far as the sharpener, I'm too old and set in my ways to learn too many new things...(not enough ROM left in the grey matter!), and I prefer to use the Wusthof steel that I inherited from my dad...he bought it in his early twenties (around 1936) for a brief stint as a meatcutter. Unbelievable that after 70 years and countless moose/caribou/deer/sheep/elk/etc., the steel still puts a razor edge on my 'Classic' blades! Plus, it just "feels" right! ;)

Nice inheritance. Guess that answers my question on will I ever have to replace my sharpening steel.

Depends I suppose whether or not his finger nails were clean at the time. :o :D
Man, that hurts just thinking about it.

Well, as far as I am concerned the salmon knife I bought is very good for the price. Sliced some cold smoked salmon very nicely and also used it on some ham and bacon. :D

Sure you could get better if you came up with the £££/$$$'s but for what I want it is great.

Only thing I did take care with was to hand wash it rather than use the dishwasher, don't think the wooden handle (in particular) would do well in the dishwasher.

Hi Manx, i'm glad to hear you're happy with the knife, i might get one myself for that price, mine is ok but far from top quality, it did do a good job on my pastrami though, i got nice wafer thin slices, and it performs pretty good with salmon.
I also hand wash all my cooking knives ;)
