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 -
F. Dick ErgoGrip 8.25-inch Granton Edge Breaking Knife
Fatty and moist cuts cling to a flat blade, and the hollow-ground ovals on this 8.25-inch breaking knife break that contact so the meat falls away. F. Dick calls the pattern Kullenschliff; in the United States it is known as a granton edge.The hollows create small air pockets between blade and meat. That reduces drag on a pork belly or a fat cap and keeps thin slices from sticking. The blade itself is the standard ErgoGrip breaking profile, narrow and curved upward to a point for long, smooth cuts through subprimals.Hogs, lamb and deer are well suited to the 8.25-inch length. A cutter can reach through a shoulder in one stroke and still control the tip along a seam. The hollows also help when slicing thin pieces of fatty pork.For beef, the 10-inch granton edge breaking knife adds length. The plain-edge 8.25-inch ErgoGrip breaking knife is simpler to hone and works well on lean cuts. The comparison table lists the ExpertGrip 2K versions as well. Learn More$33.15 -
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 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
