About Berkel
If you've ever admired the red flywheel slicer behind the counter at a good Italian deli, there's a decent chance it's a Berkel. The company's been making cutting equipment since the late 1800s, and its slicers became so iconic that people in parts of Europe still call any meat slicer a "Berkel." The lineup today runs from those classic manual flywheel slicers down to compact electric models built for home kitchens.
Beyond slicers, they also make Italian-crafted kitchen knives and small gear like vacuum sealers and champagne sabres. This is a brand for people who take charcuterie and home butchery seriously, not casual cooks — the flywheel slicers are as much kitchen sculpture as tool. Be ready for premium pricing, since these are built-to-last purchases rather than budget appliances, and some models ship from Italy so delivery can take longer than a typical kitchen order.
What they sell
- Manual flywheel slicers (Volano series)
- Electric meat and food slicers for home use
- Italian-made kitchen knives and knife blocks
- Vacuum sealing systems (Icon Mini)
