F. Dick ErgoGrip 7-inch Narrow Trimming Knife

A narrow blade makes fine trimming easier, and this 7-inch ErgoGrip knife is built for separating meat from fat, tendons and skin where the cut needs care. It also portions larger pieces like a classic butcher knife.

The blade curves upward slightly and widens a little toward the front, which gives a long pulling stroke and enough surface to lift trim away. Its narrow profile turns easily inside a cut, so the edge can follow a tendon or work under a membrane without taking good meat with it.

The 7-inch blade suits brisket and pork shoulder trimming, where the cutter has to follow fat seams between the muscles without cutting into them. It also portions smaller cuts when needed, so it can stay on the board between jobs. That makes it a dependable second knife beside a butcher or breaking knife.

For longer pieces and small fish, the 8.25-inch narrow trimming knife adds reach. The wider 7-inch ErgoGrip trimming knife has more flex for silver skin. Our kitchen knife shapes guide explains where trimming knives sit among butcher knives.
