Ritter Elexa #5 Food Slicer

The Ritter Elexa 5 Food Slicer is a clever, fold-away slicer built for home users who want reliable slicing without giving up bench or cupboard space. Made in Germany, the Elexa 5 combines a sturdy feel with a lightweight footprint, folding down flat so it can easily be stored in a drawer or pantry.

The serrated circular blade handles a wide range of foods — from cold meats and small cured cuts to cheese, bread and firm vegetables. Slice thickness is adjustable, allowing you to move from wafer-thin pieces through to thicker cuts for plating or meal prep. The carriage glides smoothly, helping maintain even slices with minimal effort.
