Does anyone have any recommendations for a good quality 10" or 12" slicing knife.  My budget won't allow for the high end knifes.  I understand you get what you pay for, but I am seeing if anyone has and recommendations for a solid knife in the $25-$30 dollar range.  Guessing it's a long shot but thought it was worth a shot.  Appreciate any and all responses.

I have been very pleased with my Victorinox Cutlery 12-Inch Slicing Knife, Black Fibrox Handle.  Mostly use it on brisket and rib roasts.  Has stayed very sharp only with simple honing.  Check out Amazon the price is about $40.

I recently purchased this one on the big A...its sort of multipurpose but its sharp, slices well and only $14.

If you have access to the Restaurant Depot, you could find one there.  I think they sell Dexter.  I have a few Dexter knives and they work fine for me.

Good advice given above.  The big box membership stores might have a limited selection.

How does Dexter compare to Victorinix?  I will be going to KnifeWorks in Tennessee in a few days to look for a knife for slicing.  I have two of the Victorinix knifes with the granton edge.

Thanks for starting this thread Greg.  I am also looking for a slicing knife.  Right now I have been using a 8 inch all purpose type knife.

I just ordered this for $15 to try. If I like it and it doesn’t last I’ll order the Victorinox then. I have been using an electric and been happy that’s why I tried the cheaper first.

I bought a guard for mine and never put it in the sink with other dishes, it will take a slice out of your finger. I use a steel on mine and it's as sharp as the day I got it.

I have several Dexter knives and several Victorinox knives.    IMO they hold their edge about the same, and have been happy with both.  Dexter are a little more cost effective, Restaurant Depot has pretty good prices and selection on them.

I ordered and received the Mercer Culinary M23011 slicing Knife.  I have only used it to slice and cube 8lbs of brisket point into burnt ends, but was very happy with how it performed.

Glad you are happy with what you bought.  I am not big on spending big bucks on knives like I do on most other things.  I just keep buying $20 or so one's until I find what works for my needs.
