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 ErgoGrip 14-inch Butcher Knife
The longest butcher knife in the ErgoGrip range, this 14-inch ErgoGrip butcher knife is for trimming fat and breaking down whole primal cuts where reach matters more than nimbleness.Fourteen inches of edge crosses the full width of a beef side or a whole brisket, so the cutter can separate it without restarting the stroke. The wide blade adds stiffness and a broad face for moving large pieces. The ErgoGrip handle has a pronounced guard and a wide thumb rest for a secure hold on a long knife.The long edge also turns large roasts and briskets into even slices without sawing.For most counter work, the 12-inch ErgoGrip large butcher knife or 12-inch butcher knife is easier to manage. Large seafood such as tuna can also be broken down with the 12-inch bull nose butcher knife. A knife this long belongs in a F. Dick Knife Scabbard with Belt when not in use. Learn More$60.45 -
F. Dick ErgoGrip 12-inch Scimitar
Cutting steaks from whole primal cuts is the job of a 12-inch scimitar, and this ErgoGrip version is used at grocery butcher counters, in slaughterhouses and on beef processing floors. It also trims fat and silver skin before portioning.Twelve inches of curved edge crosses a whole ribeye or strip loin and finishes a steak in one stroke, which keeps the cut surface smooth and the thickness even. The rounded spine and the ErgoGrip guard and thumb rest make the long blade safer to handle, and the polished surface is easy to clean.The long blade also trims the fat cap from a whole rib before portioning, so the cutter can move from trimming to steaks without changing knives. That speeds up a busy counter.The 10-inch ErgoGrip scimitar is easier to control on smaller cuts. For a rounded nose at the same length, the 12-inch bull nose butcher knife is the alternative. Protect the edge with the F. Dick Scimitar Knife Sheath. Learn More$45.50 -

F. Dick ExpertGrip 2K 8.25-inch Breaking Knife
High-volume breaking work wears on the hand, and this 8.25-inch knife pairs F. Dick’s breaking blade with the cushioned ExpertGrip 2K handle. It breaks hogs, lamb and deer into subprimals and cleans tendon and fat from the pieces.The two-component handle has a hard core with a soft outer shell, so the grip stays secure through grease and moisture without becoming hard on the palm. Our staff call it a “double pour” handle. F. Dick molds it so there is no gap where the blade enters. The curved, narrow blade is made for the long, flowing strokes of breaking.At 8.25 inches, the blade reaches through a pork shoulder or a leg of lamb in one stroke, and the tip stays close enough to follow a seam. The soft shell also absorbs some of the shock of repeated pulling cuts.The 10-inch ExpertGrip 2K breaking knife handles beef. For a handle with a thumb rest and pronounced guard, choose the ErgoGrip 8.25-inch breaking knife, which is also offered with a granton edge. Learn More$22.10 -
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.

F. Dick ErgoGrip 10-inch Granton Edge Breaking Knife
Designed with a beef butcher in mind, this 10-inch breaking knife takes the primal cuts out of a hanging side, and the granton hollows along its blade keep meat from clinging as it goes. Hunters dressing deer and elk use it for the same reason.A breaking knife works by long, pulling strokes, and a flat blade can drag on fat and moisture. The hollows, which F. Dick calls Kullenschliff, put air between steel and meat, so the cut stays smooth through brisket, chuck and the fat cap of a rib. The narrow, upswept profile lets the edge follow seams between muscles.The 10-inch length also gives a full stroke through a whole chuck roll without restarting the cut.Cutters working hogs or smaller game choose the 8.25-inch granton edge breaking knife. The plain-edge 10-inch ErgoGrip breaking knife suits lean cuts, and the ExpertGrip 2K 10-inch breaking knife offers a softer handle. Our kitchen knife shapes guide explains how breaking knives differ from butcher knives. Learn More$37.70
