12" SCIMITAR MEAT KNIFE BY DOLOMITEN INOX

I use this 12" scimitar meat knife for cutting ribeye joints and sirloin joints down into steaks, and for that job the blade shape makes a lot of sense.The length is useful because it lets you make longer, cleaner cuts through larger pieces of meat rather than having to use lots of short sawing motions. That matters when portioning steaks because a smoother cut gives a better-looking finish and helps keep the thickness more even. The curved scimitar shape also feels natural for this type of work, especially when trimming or following the shape of a joint.The handle is one of the better parts of the knife. It has a soft rubber-style material that feels comfortable in the hand and gives a secure grip. That makes a difference when you are cutting a whole joint into multiple steaks, because the knife does not feel harsh or tiring to hold. It helps reduce hand fatigue compared with harder, cheaper-feeling handles.It is definitely more of a meat prep knife than a general kitchen knife. The 12" blade gives good reach, but it also means you need enough space to use it properly and safely. For small kitchen jobs it would be too much knife, but for breaking down ribeye or sirloin joints it feels much more suitable than a standard chef’s knife.Overall, I’m happy with it. It is a practical knife for anyone cutting larger joints into steaks, especially for BBQ prep or bulk meat portioning.

exceeds expectations=================I bought it purely to slice and chop whole chicken and mutton. if a Machete and a cleaver had a baby then it might look like it. it has the right length and weight to do the job for you.I bought it only for chopping whole chicken and mutton and after many months of use it has retained it quality and performance. you can use it to chop or press it down from spine and handle without effort through bones and meat. I clean it after every use and I am using it for past few months and pictures are after 3 to 4 months of use.Handle : the Grip is nice and comfortable to hand. the surface and shape of bolster and the butt in J shape helps in preventing the slipping.Balance: the knife is good forward balance.weight: the weight of the knife is just right for slicing and chopping. it has good weight for confident chopping actions without effort. the edge of the blade and weight does the work for youSharpness.edge retention: its razor sharp and I never tried to run my finger through it. a slight touch did cause a cut so I advise caution.material: for its price the quality of steel and the handle is great.overall I am very happy with this buy. there are many more expensive and awesome blades out there but for a use only in family kitchen it does more than enough. I am sure it can hold its own against more expensive and exclusive professional knives and can act as a stop gap but I will leave that for the professional butchers and chefs to decide.

Brilliant knife, excellent for breaking down of a carcass, very comfortable in the hand and well balanced

I was really pleased when I opened the package, exactly what I wanted for my home butchery. Then I went to use it only to find it was not very sharp, not sure if someone was using it to open cardboard boxes. Once I sharpened it it did exactly what I purchased it for, just a shame I had to sharpen a brand new knife.

Bought this for my husband, after researching for quite a while, and certainly not disappointed. A very solid knife yet glides through meat as if slicing through salmon! Have had no problem at all cutting through any types of meat so far. Extremely sharp, yet even when I use it I don't feel nervous as the knife has a nice sturdy, solid feel. This has been the best buy in the kitchen so far, and the item most used - really recommended.

Brilliant piece of kit, hoes through meat like butter

I bought a full set of Dolomoten knifes last Christmas for my wife and she was so impressed with them, this year I bought her another 3 or four knives separately along with another magnetic knife holder - all from this supplier. The knives are well balanced and very sharp and I would recommend these to anybody. For the price, these are the best knives we've ever had and they're still going strong 12mths later. I do look after them, ie. hand wash only and give them a light sharpening regularly - and they look the business mounted on the kitchen wall... my wife is the chef in this house and she loves them!

Firstly, I ordered two products from the Knife Sharpening Company, the 12" butchers scimitar meat knife which I will review in a second, and the Folder Wallet. Top marks for packaging and waste because not only was the knife sent with the Wallet, it was delivered safely inside the wallet. Very thoughtful, very safe and very economic.The knife immediately feels robust. I knew it was 12" from the outset, but it still looked bigger and more weighty. The blade also feels strong and instinctively looks as though it will make light work of tough jobs. Very happy indeed.

Per tagliare la carne é perfetto

Coltello perfetto. Grazie

mio marito è molto soddisfatto

Lama spessa è mediamente pesante, acciaio di qualità.. Il manico è un po' "minimale" ma per il prezzo pagato è più che buono.. Lo consiglio anche ai professionisti se hanno bisogno di un coltello da macellaio da battaglia ma che faccia il suo dovere

Ottima da usare quando serve un coltello che faccia sul serio, attimo tagliente, forse un manico in legno dava la quinta stella in plastica è un po' povero.
