F. Dick ErgoGrip 12-inch Bull Nose Butcher Knife

The longest bull nose knife in the ErgoGrip line, this 12-inch blade trims and portions whole beef primals, and seafood processors also use it to break down large fish such as bluefin tuna.

A long, rounded-tip blade makes a full cut across a wide piece without restarting the stroke. The broad nose adds weight at the front and keeps the tip from catching, and the tall blade holds a straight line through dense meat or a tuna loin. The ErgoGrip handle’s guard and thumb rest add security on a knife this size.

On a tuna loin, the long, tall blade takes clean, even blocks without tearing the flesh, which keeps the cut surface bright.

A black-handled version carries the same blade for color-coded stations. For smaller cuts, the 10-inch bull nose butcher knife is easier to handle, and the 12-inch scimitar offers a sweeping curve at the same length. Store it in a 12-inch wide blade guard.

    Both shapes are made for long, single strokes through meat. The bull nose has a broad, rounded tip; the scimitar sweeps up into a long curve. Our guide to kitchen knife shapes shows the two profiles.

    Tips for Best Results

    A few passes on a steel keep this edge aligned between sharpenings. Hold any consistent angle from 15 to 25 degrees. For a plant or shop, the EuroCut 12-inch Round Regular Cut Steel is our best-selling steel; the Dickoron Micro 12-inch Oval Super Fine Cut Steel gives a finer edge. See our honing steel guide for technique.


    Care

    Wash by hand in warm water with a mild detergent, rinse, and dry the knife before putting it away. Store it in a scabbard, sheath or blade guard so the edge does not knock against other tools.
