Sharp. For my needs, it works better than the serrated oneI’ve been using the serrated one for almost two years because it’s what came with my slicer. I changed over to the straight blade, and used it to cut almost ten pounds of bacon I made. It cuts really well. I’ll be saving the serrated blade for breads and other stuff.

Not the sharpest upon arrivalOrdered this blade for my 615a slicer and everything fits perfectly. Blade isn’t very sharp so you would definitely need to sharpen before first use due to the way it’s contained in plastic. I would order again if I needed a replacement.

Great to slice cooked meat for lunchmeat sandwiches!! And cheese, and… LOLI bought this blade as from everything that I’ve checked, if I wanted to slice meat/whatever thin without ‘tearing’ it, this was the blade that I needed for my slicer
Chef’s Choice 615 Premium Electric Food Slicer
Which it is the blade I needed and I’ve used it to slice MULTIPLE products… Okay, lets see if I can remember pretty much everything I’ve sliced so far using this blade (and that way I can copy this information and paste it onto my slicer review when I do it!). I have sliced two full pork loin’s from Sam’s Club – which they are roughly… 3′ in length?? I semi-froze 1-1/2 of the loins (cut each in half – and cooked 1/2 of one), sliced a couple pieces off to decide what thickness I wanted then went to town slicing them with the original sawtooth blade. I did rotate the meat to try to keep the cutting uniform without having any ‘hanging edge’ which wasn’t really a problem with the semi frozen meat, but figured it wouldn’t hurt.Anyways, for this blade – after breaking down slicer and washing everything and I cooked that 1/2 loin and let it cool down to room temperature (I maybe should have/could have put it in the fridge and let the meat firm up a little but me and the hubby were wanting to eat dinner, darn it!) I moved it to a relatively thin slice to do our own sliced pork sandwiches with bbq sauce and started slicing. About every 5-6 slices I’d rotate the meat as it would develop excess on the bottom where it wasn’t being cut – not a big deal. We’re talking $150 slicer compared to $400+ to maybe not have it do that? No thanks. I’ll save the $250. LOL This blade did real well slicing the cooked pork loin.So, after the 2 pork loins, I cooked a small roast hubby picked up at Publix, sliced it after it got to room temperature, doing the same as above, worked great. Then got an eye of round roast and something else, cooked both of them (made roast beef using these two roasts) and yep, you guessed it, sliced them up and froze half the meat, and ate on the rest the next few days. Next? Big large summer sausage, sliced half of it along with a big block of Cabot Extra Sharp Cheddar cheese for munchies – this blade worked great for all the above. Oh, and I’ve basically had the slicer and blade for a month – maybe a day or so longer but that’s about it. Don’t you feel sorry for it? LMAO

Produces wonderful results, you must care for it.PROS: paper thin cuts, very sharp /// CONS: cleaning and maintenance, rust proneThis blade delivers results! Paper thin cuts of meat that turn a regular sandwich into a work of mouth watering art. BUT…..you have to clean and care for this blade. It WANTS to rust. You have to use food safe lube on the gear teeth, which tends to be messy. You must clean the food off immediately after use. I washed it and it produced pre-rust/corrosion spots minutes after washing. I coated the blade edge with canola oil immediately, then wrapped in paper towels and ziplock bagged it with desiccant to keep it safe. So, some work is needed to keep this thing in top shape! Not for lazy people.

PERFECT addition for all 7″ Chef’s Choice Food Slicers. Super thin cuts, and no jamming.While the Chef’s Choice Food Slicer models come with a serrated blade, it is far better at slicing bread and some cheeses than slicing meat products. The answer is this non-serrated blade…and it works exceedingly well at that task.Easy to install and perfectly matched to all Chef’s Choice 7″ Slicers, this blade cuts through meat like butter, So much easier than the stock serrated blade. For cutting meats for things like French Dip sandwiches, or bacon, it excels for those thin slices. It does equally as well when slicing much thicker cuts, like 1/2″ Steaks, and pork chops.Unlike the serrated blade, cutting meats with this blade eliminates the need to flip meats regularly in order to avoid some getting stuck under the blade. This happens with the serrated blade, but not with this one at all.Easy to clean, and sharp as a razor. Highly recommended addition to your Chef’s Choice Slicer. We love it! A++

Need it to slice thin cuts of meat.Pricey but a must for slicing thin cuts of beef or pork for Shabu Shabu. It should really come with the slicer and not as an extra item since most wouldn’t buy a sliver just for bread and cheese right? I feel it’s like the printer industry making more money on the cartridges.It’s very very sharp so be wary of drying it. Also the recommended lubricant makes it difficult to wash. You must hand dry or else it may rust. I left it a while after washing and it easily left water spots. I polished it off briskly quickly.

Great for slicing frozen meat!This item is perfect for slicing frozen meat with my Chef’s Choice 615, much better than the original blade. For cleaning you need to use quarter to disassemble first. I bought the anti cut gloves to wash with, not tried dishwasher yet.

Great for sukiyaki / shabu shabuThe serrated blade came with my Chef’sChoice is not good for cutting raw meat. After swap it to this non-seraated blade, it’s much easier. I purchased a whole strip roast and cut them to about #3. They made great Suki Yaki

Surprisingly GoodI had high hopes for this slicer, but my expectations were not so high. However, it worked surprisingly well. I did purchase the non-serrated blade,and mostly use it.The machine is obviously not commercial quality, but still reasonable solid. While I wouldn’t say cleaning it is a pleasure, it comes apart pretty easily and is straightforward to wash. I would have liked better instructions for the machine as well as tips for how to use it.I particularly liked my eye of round roast, slow baked to medium rare, then sliced fairly thin (but not shaved). It was extremely tasty, reasonable tender, and a big hit at our gathering. By reasonably tender, I don’t mean that it was as tender as processed baloney, but that it had a moderate chew. Everyone like it.If I had sliced the roast with my chef’s knife, the slices would have been somewhat thicker and less tender.Yes, I recommend this product.
