Is the 10" version of this knife good enough to slice through german chocolate cake when making layers?(horizontal)

Yes, I think so. It is a very sharp knife so slicing is effortless. I ordered the 14" initially but it is way to long and wound up cutting my fingers several times. This is a wonderful knife.

I bought this knife specifically to slice cakes into layers. It's very sharp and will cut through your cake layers with very little effort. The fourteen inch blade lets me slice a cake up to twelve inches in diameter in one pass. The ten inch blade will slice through a cake up to nine inches in one pass with ease.

It is double bevel cut. So it should work that way. I'm left handed too. Bread knives and boning knives are where you have to worry most. The blade states it is solid VG10 steel which is stainless steel and is supposed to be very good. My only complaint with the knife is that it tends to stick when cutting thru stuff due to the thickness of the blade. It's very comfortable in your hand though.

It is good for the "regular" cake but if you have a cake with fondant (the hard covering that encases a design) then no it is not sharp enough to cut an entire cake. I used it for the initial cut but for the entire cake we used the knife provided by the catering hall

10 inch knife implies 10 inch blade. These are fairly good value for commercial use.

I bought it as a gift and haven't used it. From what I understand global knifes are shapend at a different angle than German knifes. It wouldn't be ideal.

I bought the Schrade 690T old timer knife. Maybe if you look that one up you can tell by the dimensions.

I would not cut steel with this blade. This is primary used for wood/laminate. This gives a very nice finished cut with ripping.

yeah u could wrap it and tie it off at the srew holes but i would prob drill some more holes in to make it a better wrap depending on what kind of wrap your wanting to do and then u will have to heat up the kydex to close it to fit the knife cause the sheath is fitted for the G10 scales.

It is not a quarter inch thick. You are thinking of the esee 5 by Rowen. Jeff randall knife

The blade is about 1 1/2" deep at the heel, which just clears my knuckles to the cutting board with the blade horizontal. Should be fine unless you have VERY big hands or are wearing thick gloves.

Yes! This knife is excellent. I use it all of the time and it works with every type of bread I've come across so far.

It's a small knife, more suited to soft cheeses or cheesecake, things like that. It's super for slicing and not sticking. Great for havarti, Brie/Camembert, cheesecake, etc. I love mine.

The long blade has a very tiny wavy cut into it so it can slice through bread, angel food cake and tomatoes or anything else that may be difficult to slice.It is a fabulous knife to add to your kitchen!

I would say yes but not without seriously dulling the blade. I'd suggest a different knife for that. Still a good knife though.

Yes, I was doing that yesterday with cheap 7mm laminate!The blade acts equally over the whole surface of the laminate, so the wider the piece (or if you cut at an angle), then the harder work it is to cut.

It's not sharp but it's not super thick or dull at the edges. I'm not sure if you'd be able to cut a wedding cake perfectly with it. Maybe you can get it sharpened... I don't know. Awesome idea by the way

Would be too thick if you used the knife to guide. I don't have the knife anymore because of that- wasn't useful for cutting even slices.
