A 6" Victoranox boning knife is top rated and cheap.

Flexible one is good

I love my good old fashioned fillet knife. 25 bucks at wally world. I use it for almost all of my meat cutting. I just tune it up on my steel before I start.

I use this one:


I'm sure there are better ones out there, but this does the job for me. Love the reactions whipping this bad larry out of the drawer too, people think i'm wielding a katana.

You don't use a slice or carving knife for trimming up a brisket.
Lol

lol I already have a very nice slicing knife. Only thing I asked for this year from santa. I appreciate the responses!

This is the one I use for trimming everything. I even carve turkeys with it.
Just keep it sharp. A few passes on a diamond steel each time you use it & your good to go.
And with shipping it will be way under $20.

I have had mine for several years & it is just like new.

I use a large Breaking Knife that came with my knife set. Breaking knives are for breaking down big cuts of meat and being such a large knife makes it easy to span the size of a brisket when I trim it :)

Here's a Victorinox brand 10" Breaking Knife for $36. They are a well known brand and having a breaking knife is nice!

I use a plain stiff blade filet knife (robbed from Dad's tackle box) to trim. A slicing knife is for slicing..

There is a company that my dad did business with, bought his smokehouses from, his ham netting, etc. from:

(from 1946 Koch catalog that my dad had)

...of which I modeled my smokehouse from:

If you're on facebook, get to know Dawn Wollesen, she is the rep for them and is fantastically helpful!

This is the carving knife I want to get for brisket. I had one but it dulled and wore off the scalloped edge (30 years of use).

Lol

You actually can trim a brisket with a slicer quite successfully.

Trimming, it’s my Rapala 11” filet knife. (Birch handle, leather sheath, Canadian 1980’s provenance)

Slicing, it’s the Magic Chef 14” electric knife we got for our wedding.

Go to Kutco.com. High quality knives. I have 2 of their skinning knives. They have everything you may need.

My bad. Cutco.com not with a K.

I've tried using lengths from 6-12", but find a 6" chef's knife (or boning knife) gives me the best control trimming any cut of meat, especially briskets and tri tips.

6" filet knife here, Victorinox is my favorite cheap knife even though there not real cheap lol
