Jamonprive - Ham Knife with Accident Guard for Lefties & Righties (30 cm) - Ideal for cutting Serrano and Ibérico Hams

Having just bought my first Jamon I was looking for a decent knife to carve it with and decided on this one for a couple of reasons. The positive reviews this has speaks volumes about how good it is and I have to agree this is really excellent. I was also concerned about buying a huge knife and the possibility of a visit to A&E. The safety feature renders the knife incapable of severing a digit (or limb) with the guard in place but does not interfere with it's intended function at all. It does a beautiful job slicing my Jamon and I feel quite safe using it. The initial apprehension I had about buying a whole Jamon and how I was to deal with it is completely gone and in future I will be very happy to do this more often. My first couple of slices were slightly too thick but after that I was carving properly partly guided by the guard to keep the knife at the correct angle. I'm no expert at this yet but have to say if you're a beginner this is the only knife you should consider, safe in inexperienced hands while being sharp enough to do a thoroughly professional job of carving Spanish ham.

I have bought Serrano ham in the past and found it impossible or really difficult to cut thin slices with a normal kitchen knife or the poor quality knives that come with some ham stands. A friend also had a very nasty accident whilst cutting her ham and needed a trip to A&E for stitches. I have found this knife a really good addition to my kitchen. It cuts nice thin slices depending on the amount of pressure you apply when you cut. A light pressure using long cuts of the blade gives a wafer thin slice add a little more pressure and the thickness gets more. The knife most of all is safe and you cannot cut your self when using it. I feel confident enough to let my kids cut from the Serrano. As with anything it requires some practice to use but I have found I am improving and learning how to use it effectively. Some reviews have said it is hard to sharpen, once you slip off the guide/protector I sharpened it with a 'steel' with ease and achieved a nice sharp blade. I would recommend this knife.

When this first arrived I thought it was useless and was going to return it. Once sharpened though...it is an excellent knife for the money, its a pity because it should be sharp when it arrives but I would still buy this knife again because its good quality. The knife guard....don't even bother trying to slice with it on, its a gimmick, however, its a very good addition to have to protect the knife when not in use.

This is a first class knife for slicing Jamon Serrano. Having received a gift of a ham for Christmas I was at a loss as to how to slice it properly. I did a little research and eventually discovered this knife. I had been told that the ham should be sliced very thinly and in short, 2 to 3 inch, pieces but that a very sharp, flexible blade was needed and great care was necessary in order to a) cut the pieces thinly enough and b) not slip with the blade and cut oneself. This knife delivers all of the requirements effortlessly! The blade is very flexible and razor sharp but is protected in a unique plastic/nylon guide that also acts as a guide and depth stop so that it is easy to slice very thin pieces. I heartily recommend this knife for anyone interested in achieving a professional job effortlessly.

I bought this knife a little while ago and have just bought a Serrano ham. I wasn't convinced how effective it would be, but it really is a rather clever bit of kit. The knife seems sharp enough (I haven't needed to sharpen it yet) and it works effectively on producing nice thin slices of ham. The protector, apart from the obvious safety advantage, seems to provide a good guide and makes the task easier. With a 'free-hand' knife my efforts on my last ham did improve over time, but I was not always getting the consistency I seem to be getting from this knife. I thought the price seemed a little high for a plastic handled knife, but it certainly does the job well, and there's no 'waste' because of poor cutting style. A very clever product that I enjoy using.

After receiving a Serrano Ham Leg with a stand as a Christmas present, I realised I needed a quality knife to produce very thin slices - and I could not have chosen a better one than this model from Jamonprive! Razor sharp and flexible, the knife cuts through the dried ham very effectively. The anti accident guard is a very clever idea - and it pushes the slices away from the knife blade. The knife is also excellent for slicing english style ham as well - the extra long blade makes cutting thin slices a dream! Best purchase ever!!!

Great product. Does exactly what it says it does. The knife is very sharp. The guard enabled me to cut thin slices of ham safely. I am very inexperienced and found that the knife could slip across the leg, so I really appreciated the anti-accident protection. The guard makes the sharp knife safe in storage. The construction of the knife means it is comfortable to hold and easy to clean. It is very reasonably priced and arrived quickly. Very pleased and looking forward to improving my knife skills.

I had originally purchased a Huelva ham holder. This arrived complete with a knife which although ok it was not quite right. It needed lots of sharpening and not really flexible enough and occasionally I cut the ham a little on the thick side making them very chewy. After reading several reviews on Knives I decided to purchase this knife. I was not disappointed, with or without the sleeve I can cut slices as thin as I require. It is ideal, fine with sleeve just hold the handle and the other end of the sleeve and taking care pull the knife along the meat and perfect neatly sliced pieces of meat. If you are a more confident user then remove the sleeve and use the flexibility of the knife to cut slices as you like.

Parfait ! J'ai acheté ce couteau pour le mettre sur le buffet de mon mariage ou j'avais prévu un jambon entier. J'avais la crainte d'une coupure de mes invités ( qui se servaient seul ) et la protection a très bien fait son travail . Tout le monde était ravie de cet ustensile. Le couteau coupe très bien et le guide/protection fait très bien le job . Il permet d'avoir des tranches très fine sans aucuns danger . Je recommande++

Good sharp knife with a very smart solution that ensures equal thickness of all slices

Lame beaucoup trop souple. Bien pour certains jambons mais pas pour d’autres.

Exelente gracias

Sehr scharfes und robustes Messer. Der Gebrauch mit der Schutzvorrichtung ist echte Klasse
