Bull Nose Butcher Knives and Scimitars
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
Hone the edge on a steel through the shift rather than waiting for it to go dull. Our best-selling steel overall is the EuroCut 12-inch Round Regular Cut Steel; serious professionals who want a finer finish choose the Dickoron Micro 12-inch Oval Super Fine Cut Steel. A steady angle somewhere between 15 and 25 degrees is fine. Our guide to honing steels walks through the 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.
