F. Dick 6 in. (150 mm) Trimming Knife used in meat and fish processing for a variety of task. From trimming fat to skinning and removing silver skin this knife can fill a lot of rolls in the kitchen. A fair amount of flex and high quality German Steel will allow the knife to retain its edge well, while also being stainless. The trimming knife is used to separate pieces of meat from fat, tendons and skin. That is why the trimming knife also belongs to the butcher's knife family. The blade is slightly curved upwards, becoming slightly wider in the front area than in the middle. This gives it more surface area, allowing you to make a long, pulling cut. Like the classic butcher's knife, it is also used to cut larger pieces of meat. This makes the trimming knife one of the most versatile butcher’s knives in slaughterhouses and cutting plants. The purpose of the trimming knife is to produce beautiful pieces of meat that have been cleanly separated from components such as tendons and fibres and can then be processed further without any problems. The subsequent process of portioning, or cutting the meat into ready-to-eat pieces, also requires precision and exact cutting. That is why it is important that you have a sharp trimming knife in your hands so that you can cut the meat cleanly and create a beautiful cut pattern. A trimming knife is distinguished first and foremost by its blade shape. It is on the narrow side, curved upwards and ends in a wide, rounded blade tip. This simplifies handling and allows the knife to glide along easily when cutting. This means that the cuts are long and can be made in a flowing movement, while the more comfortable hand position is easy on the wrist. Learn More
