The Stainless Steel Mousetrap® Steel takes performance and cost savings to a higher level. Uniquely-functioning secondary steeling rods guide the knife into the slot, minimizing edge dulling or damage should the edge come in contact with the slop walls. The always consistent and reliable counterweight mechanism creates precise and calculated resistance for restoring a dulled edge, edge maintenance, and edge alignment. Open design features coupled with the smooth electro polished surface produce stronger resistance to product build-up and contamination adhesion which equates to quick and thorough sanitizing.
