Wüsthof Classic 4.5-inch Asian Utility Knife
This Wüsthof Classic Asian utility knife takes the length of a small utility knife and gives it a taller, 1.2-inch blade with a gently curved edge. The added height gives your knuckles room above the board, so the knife can mince garlic and chop herbs with a rocking motion as well as slice.It is a good size for the small, frequent jobs of a weeknight, such as a few cloves of garlic or a knob of ginger. The wide blade also scoops what you have cut and carries it to the pan, which a narrow utility knife cannot do.On the board, the curved edge rocks easily, and the flat face of the blade crushes a garlic clove before mincing. For a narrower blade that slices and trims, see the Classic 4.5-inch utility knife. The Classic 5-inch hollow edge santoku is the next size up for chopping, and both come together in the Classic 2-piece Asian knife set. Our kitchen knife shapes guide covers Asian-style blades.

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 ProDynamic 4.5-inch Steak Knife, Plain Edge

It is a practical way to fill a steak knife set or a restaurant’s cutlery.The black plastic handle is hygienic and comfortable, and the light weight suits everyday use. A plain edge can be honed and resharpened, so with care the knives keep cutting well for years.Restaurants that serve steak can stock these knives in quantity without a large outlay for each place setting.

A heavier, forged plain-edge option is the 1905 4.5-inch steak knife. Avoid scraping plain edges across porcelain or glass plates, which dulls them quickly. Learn More -

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 Carving and Boning Knife

It is long enough to follow a tenderloin in one pass and pointed enough to work around bones. The same member of staff finds the shape easier to resharpen than a typical boning knife, which matters on a knife used every day.The 7-inch length is also comfortable for trimming lamb racks and pork loins.For poultry joints and closer boning, the 1905 6-inch flexible boning knife bends further.
