Ultra Tec Biltong-Pro radiused Slicer with Magnetic Stainless Steel Tray

I have been making biltong in the UK for a while now (handy seeing as I've married a South African) and while I've always used a sharp cleaver to slice it, I've been making more and more recently, and started looking to upgrade. This slicer caught my eye and after reading the reviews, I took the plunge. First impressions on receiving the box were that it appears professional - the packaging is good, both inside and out. Build quality is excellent. The blade is hefty and thick, and doesn't bend when used. It cuts with a scissor-like action, so whilst the blade isn't sharp like a knife, it does cut cleanly and evenly. There are non-slip pads on the base of the cutting board and these do stop it sliding around on the worktop. The metal tray attaches to the base of the board by 2x little magnets. As someone pointed out in another review, this does stick proud under the blade, and if the manufacturer had machined out 2mm to allow it to fit snugly, that would be an improvement, but this is a minor criticism and in no way indication of a poorly made product. I was able to vary the slices of biltong to almost wafer-thin. It was also able to cope with the very dry ends that are usually hard to cut with a basic knife. Included in the box is a waxed sheet briefly explaining the history of biltong, along with some basic recipes. However, these are incomplete and it would. E nice if they had included a few more recipes / guides for other variations of biltong. However, that said, i didn't buy this for the recipe card, I brought it to cut biltong, this does an excellent job of that! I cannot recommend it highly enough!

I make my own biltong & have always thought about getting a slicer. Browsed a few of the cheaper versions but kept coming back to this one. As soon as I unboxed it, I could tell this was a premium product. Even the outer box tells you, you have made a quality purchase. This implement has been very well designed and beautifully crafted. The curved 'trough ' of the cutting board lends itself to round objects such as biltong, salami or vegetables...etc and discourages them from moving away from the blade when pressure is applied to cut it. The blade is secured to an elegantly machined fulcrum by means of 3 stainless hex bolts with spring washers. The blade itself is curved, made from high quality ground, high carbon steel, with a high quality satin finish. The machining and overall finish on the metal work is of a very high standard with care and attention. The blade is EXTREMELY sharp and closes on an opposing plate that forms part of the base, in a self sharpening scissor action. The metal tray is stainless steel and attaches to the base via magnets - very slick. The slicer unit will fit into the tray snugly, for easier storage. Oh, and of course this amazing implement slices paper thin, if you want it to, with ease and comfort. It's an absolute joy to use. Trouble is now, that most of my current batch of biltong is now sliced up and mostly devoured by my kids...! If you're looking for a biltong slicer, spend the extra on this unit, you won't regret it.

Great cutter. Feels sturdy and well made,cuts flawlessly through the meat. Blade is very sharp. The tray is a great addition to the cutter. My only criticism is that the magnet's became unglued from the wood base easily fixed. I was concerned initially as I am left handed but am able cut using my right hand. Overall a fantastic cutter which makes the whole process easy.

I've been making biltong for a few years and persevered with a knife. Decided to buy a decent cutter. Looked at this one for a while and liked the design with the scissor action cut, rather than a blade cutting against nothing. Was not disappointed it produces a clean cut and makes my biltong really look the part now. Taste just the same though. Fantastic.

Very sharp cuts biltong like a dream

Very nice product and easy to use. One problem that I have however is that when cutting biltong sometimes the tray will be collection tray moves. This only happened when you have have a lot of biltong to cut or you ave to push down hard. Although I mentioned this as a problem it is one that doesn't bother me too much as it all happens due to the collection tray being magnetic which does in fact make up for it shifting out of place every now and again as it makes it very easy to store and clean after uses. If you do buy this product and have similar problems as I do I suggest just not letting the biltong pile up to much and don't try to rush cutting your Biltong.

Having recently moved from South Africa I have found it necessary to make my own biltong, because lets face it, life just isn't the same without it. So after getting hold of a dryer, the next item on the list was a cutter. I have owned a few different biltong cutters/choppers in the past but this is the first one that actually slices the meat rather than just a straight downward chop. I absolutely love it. Cuts like a dream. Great quality, handy little tray to catch your sliced meat. If you are the type of person that enjoys eating biltong, you will most certainly love using this little machine. I rate it 5 stars because it goes above and beyond your traditional biltong "choppers" Delivery was very fast and the product was very well packaged. It would make a fabulous gift.

A good quality , solid product. Slices through biltong with no resistance. The blade is EXTREMELY sharp, so be careful, should not be handled by kids or drunks. Very good build quality and the detachable magnetic collector is great for serving up if snacking. Worth the money as this is going to last me a long time.

Well crafted, Beautifully made. Super sharp! So happy with this purchase & highly recommend ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

I was afraid the cutter would be cheap and not cut hard biltoung easily. It is solidly made and high quality. I have been using a sharp cleaver and struggling to cut pieces. Light pressure on the handle and snick. Major problem is that it is so easy to cut that you finish you biltoung in minutes
