Tekut Bamboo Biltong Slicer with Carbide Knife Sharpener a bamboo twist on our Classic Biltong Slicer with Tungsten Carbide and Ceramic Knife Sharpener built-in for easy sharpening. Biltong is a specialty of the South African and Namibian cuisine consisting of air-dried beef and venison; comparable to the Beef Jerkey known in the US (dried meat). With this cutting board with an integrated knife these specialties can easily be sliced, but also many other foods are easily parted. Bamboo is by nature anti-bacterial and therefore a hygienic alternative to wood cutting boards. The blade remains sharp for a long time and can easily be sharpened with the integrated knife sharpener. Bamboo can grow per day by more than one meter, so it is an absolutely sustainable and eco-friendly alternative to deforestation of the forests of the earth. Bamboo grows in wet or dry areas and is purely organically grown without the addition of pesticides and fertilizers, while it produces 40 % more oxygen than trees forests.
