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.

    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.
