The Guinness World Records' record for the longest marathon slicing meat is 33 hr 2 min 12 sec and was achieved by Francisco Javier Aguza Nuñez (Spain) at Caseta Municipal in Zafra, Badajoz, Spain, from 4 to 6 April 2014.

  Guinness World Records also recognized the world record for the most people slicing meat; it is 162, achieved at an event organised by Antonio Ramos García (Spain) in Benarraba, Spain on 2 March 2014.

Spaniard Gregorio Perez on Sunday broke the Guinness record for the most time spent slicing ham, a feat for which he prepared for more than a year and which forced him to lose 21 kilograms (46 pounds).

   Starting Friday night and continuing until dawn on Sunday, Perez wielded a knife without stopping and carved 36 hams.

   He thus managed to break the previous Guinness World Records' ham-slicing record of 33 hours and 3 minutes held by one of his countrymen.
