Friedrich Dick NSF Plastic Handle Knives

Designed with a beef butcher in mind, this 10-inch breaking knife takes the primal cuts out of a hanging side, and the granton hollows along its blade keep meat from clinging as it goes. Hunters dressing deer and elk use it for the same reason.A breaking knife works by long, pulling strokes, and a flat blade can drag on fat and moisture. The hollows, which F. Dick calls Kullenschliff, put air between steel and meat, so the cut stays smooth through brisket, chuck and the fat cap of a rib. The narrow, upswept profile lets the edge follow seams between muscles.The 10-inch length also gives a full stroke through a whole chuck roll without restarting the cut.Cutters working hogs or smaller game choose the 8.25-inch granton edge breaking knife. The plain-edge 10-inch ErgoGrip breaking knife suits lean cuts, and the ExpertGrip 2K 10-inch breaking knife offers a softer handle. Our kitchen knife shapes guide explains how breaking knives differ from butcher knives. Learn More
