F. Dick 16-inch Beef Splitter
Where a mechanical saw is not an option, this 16-inch F. Dick splitter separates cattle, pork and lamb carcasses by hand. Small farms and commercial butcher shops use it to split the spine in clean, straight strokes.At about 6.5 pounds, the splitter relies on mass. The thick spine keeps the blade from twisting or wandering mid-swing, so the split runs straight down the backbone. The steel is tempered for toughness, which helps it absorb the shock of bone impact without chipping. The edge is hand-sharpened at the factory with wide bevels.Swing in a straight line along the backbone and let the weight finish each stroke. Keep the free hand well clear, and work on a stable rail or table so the carcass does not shift. A clean, straight split gives even sides and saves trimming later.For hogs and lambs, the lighter 14-inch beef and pork splitter is easier to swing. Store a splitter where its edge cannot be struck by other tools, and hone it with a few passes on a regular cut steel after each session. Learn More$390.00 -
F. Dick Red Spirit Hektor 10-inch Granton Edge Scimitar
Named Hektor, this 10-inch Red Spirit scimitar trims fat and sinew, breaks down large cuts and portions steaks, and it slices roasts at the table as well. A granton edge along the blade keeps slices from clinging.Scimitars are a butcher’s tool, and many are made of soft steel that is quick to hone but dulls quickly. The Red Spirit steel should hold its edge longer between honings, which makes it a dependable blade for a long session at the board. The long, upswept curve rolls through a steak in one stroke and leaves a smooth cut face.At a cookout, it doubles as a slicer for tri-tip and smoked turkey breast.For plant and counter work, the ErgoGrip 10-inch scimitar is built around a butcher’s handle. The Hektor is also part of the Red Spirit Pit Master BBQ set, and the F. Dick Scimitar Knife Sheath protects the edge. Our knife shapes guide covers scimitars. Learn More$94.90 -
F. Dick 1905 7-inch Granton Edge Santoku
Santoku means “three virtues” in Japanese, for slicing, dicing and mincing, and this 1905 santoku covers that everyday work on meat and vegetables. Its granton edge, a row of hollow scallops along the blade, keeps slices of potato and cucumber from sticking.A santoku has a thin blade, a flatter edge than a chef’s knife and a rounded tip, so it works best with a straight push or a forward slice. The scallops put small pockets of air between the blade and wet or starchy food, which lets each slice fall away instead of riding up the knife. The thin profile also makes it capable of decorative cuts.Cooks who prefer a rocking cut should look at the 1905 8-inch chef’s knife. A smaller granton blade is the Premier Plus 5.5-inch granton edge santoku, and the 1778 santoku offers a much harder edge. See our knife shapes guide for santoku and chef’s knife profiles.
