This Chef's Choice 662 Professional electric food slicer is a commercial-quality slicer that's perfect for both home and professional chefs. The fine, 8.7 inch blade is perfect for slicing super-thin deli meats. It's also great on any other meat, bread, vegetables, fruits, and cheese that you would slice with a knife. This slicer from Chef's Choice comes with a blade sharpener, so you won't need to buy a separate unit for sharpening. It's also tough and lasts for a long time because it's made from rugged cast aluminum and stainless steel.
