We had about 25 years, a EMIDE slicer for left-handers the always work well, however, so slow goodbye to the knife. We thought that the Ritter fortis 1 really runs almost by itself through the bread, but you have to watch as the knife quite tedious because by torturing anyway. Sounds pathetic sometimes ... The cleaning is quite complicated to manage through the many corners and edges but. The normal serrated blade gets on well with all cutting goods (bread, cheese, cabbage). But even good! In addition, the cable storage is built very narrow, so that in the stowed cable back and forth rooms always fall out. The enclosed carving knife was just welcome for the Christmas ham for testing. Has done well ... All in all: a good slicer with solid workmanship. I'm not euphoric.
