What is your sliciest knife?

My thinned out Manix2 in S110v works really well. My Japanese kitchen blades are really fun to use too.
 
Other than my Vics and Opinels, I'd say it's the FFG on the Hold Out I and II.

True meat slicers, and excellent food prep blades!

Most Cold Steel blades are slicy, though, not just designed to stab 55 gallon drums and beat sh*t to pieces.

Do you care to share how you got yours. I have been talking to him through email for almost 9 months and he never has one to sell!

I contacted him via email as well, told him I was interested in purchasing one of his knives to use for hunting. He responded, told me he didn't have anything available at the momen (spring 2015) but was in the process of making a batch of Southforks in K390. He said when he was close to being finished he would contact me with further details to se if I was still interested. When the time came he told me what he had, I agreed, sent payment, then in September a forest fire burned down the town he lives in. I'm not sure of the details but I believe some or a good portion of his home was affected by the fire but I was lucky enough to get my knife in October. I do know my knife was finished prior to the fire and he made me a sheath before he sent it. Like I said I don't know the details of the fire but I am certain it had an impact on him. It was tens of thousands of acres that burned. Ankerson's or someone closer to him or even Mr. Wilson can give you the details, anything else from me would be more speculation.
 
Technically my fillet knife is my best slicer.
For carry knives it would be
My sodbuster Jr ( nice thin grind and some major belly to it )
My buck 110
My vic Gardner

I will say be patent with him and just get on his list.

He did lose his house in the fire, he is fine heath wise, but some things have changed.

Not my place to say anything else.

I can't remember where I got this but it slices as good as a my Opinel and has a snap like a Gator.
 
First off, a pleasure to see the Phil Wilsons! I'm another in communication with him hoping to acquire a knife.

In no particular order: my spyderco JD Smith, PPT and Sprig are all great. Just got a Benchmade 710 and that is impressing me too.

I would certainly enjoy seeing videos of people filleting fish with some of those "slicey" thicker bladed knives.
 
My MAC 8" Damascus Chef's Knife cuts better than I have ever seen around here.!** But then I just got some of my Knives back from Mr. Graley
today & he did a great job on my GEC #42 ELK Scaled Knife ~~ razor sharp & sliced an onion paper thin with it and cleaned er up good.!
Great job of sharpening and fast return back to me.! 100% AOK
 
I used to think my FFG Delica and Endura were great slicers until the first time I used my hollow ground Gayle Bradley 2. The GB2 is now my folder for cutting fruit, cheese, bagels, etc., on road trips. The difference is that the GB2 cuts straight, with no effort, and the FFG folders tend to cut in arcs (for me at least).

For thin cuts, it's hard to beat a FFG though (the Sprig would be my first choice for a fixed slicer).

Have to go with a ffg Endura or Delica, a Serrated Vic Spartan is great. Gary
 
My Carter Cultery
Wow what a slicer and my best to date .
But I have a Fiddleback on the way that should give it a run for its money on my top slicers .
For now this is the winner 😉
 
Old school carbon steel scalpel.
2nd would be a cheap SAK veg/garden knife similar to the knife gasman posted above.
 
Given the same sharpness on the edge, a thinner blade will always outperform a thicker blade for slicing tasks that require the blade to get into and through the material, and full flat ground blades generally outperform other grinds in these cases. Example tasks include cutting tomatos and filleting fish.

I would generally choose spydercos over ZTs for such slicing tasks, and certainly kitchen knives over folders.
