Jonathon You know what they say a picture is worth a thousand words.

Jonathon thx very much for running this down! Those are measurements everyone contemplating an expensive slicer purchase will want to know, hopefully they can make it to the product specs on their page

Jonathon Thanks for the update

zbigjeff Thanks Jeff. I’m sure I will enjoy it. I’ve been living with two 7 1/2 inch slicers for 10 years or so. They still work fine but we just wanted to up grade so we don’t have to cut some things in half in order to get full sized slices. (plus we wanted to take advantage of the 20% off for Fathers Day!)

So just to be clear, on these slicers would you have to fold over or split in half a pork belly slab to do bacon slices on the 10 and 12 inch Walton Slicers, or am I missing something.

Bob Stehlik I can see the smile on your face when you open it for the first time. Nice buy.

I’m curious as well. I did slice a side on my 8in, but that led to some bandages.

PapaSop Yikes!!!

processhead If your pork belly is 11 or 12 inches wide then yes you can split it in half or I ‘fold’ the belly. I fold mine in the shape of a U, put a rubber band on it and put it on a shelf in my freezer to really stiffen it up. Then I feed it through the slicer with the bottom on the U to be first to hit the blade. The handle/gripper on the slicer held it well and nice even slices until you are almost out of bacon.

jfyoung45 Never thought of that, good idea.
