Knives for cutting meat

[Will Squared]

Choices Choices!!!!!!!

Even though I have LOTS o knives in the kitchen I am currently in the process of making my own 4 piece set.....It will have a 7.75 inch Chef, 5.5 inch Mini Chef, 7.75 inch Slicer/Carver, 5.5 inch Mini Slicer/Carver....They will be out of AEB-L SS with a cryo treatment to target a RH of 60. They will have stabilized two tone hickory & mesquite handles with black G-10 and bass pins!!! I actually have wooden replicas I have been testing for comfort and function......Like I said a knife is a very personal choice!

Another Knife Maker !
I use 440C.

Never had a knife come with a book!

 

[civilsmoker]

Ah who reads the instruction manual. Toss it and take a pic of the blade!

Ps DON’T put it the dish washer.....that’s all you need to know out of that book!

I still can’t believe how quick you bought that.

 

[73saint]

I can’t believe how quick it got here. In all honesty, I wanted that blade design for years but never knew it was called Cimitar, until this thread. So that and a little quick research and bam...late night shopping.

Oh and I’ll read the book. Cover to cover. Like I said I’ve got issues.

 

[Will Squared]

WOAH !
I just googled it and saw the price !
Glad I was sitting down !

What? $100? For a good knife that’s not too bad. No?

 

[civilsmoker]

Looks pretty legit 73!!!

You don’t have issues you have focused priorities.....lol. 100 isn’t out of the realm for a nice blade!

FYI, looks like a linen micarta handle.....or is it carbon fiber?

Not sure but I’ll try and figure it out when I read the book haha!

I’m reading faster than you!

ok it’s a G10 handle! 66 layer Damascus blade. RH of 62+ is killer! 8 to 12 degree edge.....razor!

all I can say is sweet!!!!

 

[Will Squared]

What's G10?

 

[civilsmoker]

What's G10?

G10 Garolite handle.....a high-pressure fiberglass laminate material! Tough as nails and stable in all environments......
Not that I would do it but it could sit in the sink with water for a week and be fine!

That thing is beautiful 73! Congrats! I’ll have a nice set of Damascus knives one day (each custom made for what I want, not a premade set)!!!

You use your k-bars? lol man and I thought I was old...

At 49 you are just a young whipper snapper fella. My knife block and four Classic steak knives just arrived from Wusthof today, had the scissors and blade steel included. I've got two slots to fill on the block to complete my set. I'm ordering the Ikon Classic 9" Cooks Knife and the Classic 8" Bread blade, all my others just came out of the box. They should outlive me. RAY

Well I just separated a 20lb Packer brisket flat from its point. It’s pretty smooth, I’m happy!

That's about the only way I could ever stay awake long enough to get a brisket done on my offset, one half at a time. RAY

Well I’m doing the All Things BBQ Texas brisket chili tomorrow. It calls for a smoked brisket flat, and I only have to smoke it for a few hours so it ought to be a quick and easy cook. Usually I smoke the whole packer.

It's not the years, it's the miles.
