  • Inclination.The inclination of the blade is what distinguishes professional slicers from domestic ones: thevertical slicersare those that allow the slices of the cut food to be extracted with tongs, think for example of those of the charcuterie maker.Thegravity slicersare usually those for domestic use and allow the slices to fall directly into the plate thanks to the slight inclination of the blade.
