Butcher / Breaking

The F. Dick Expert Grip 2K 8 inch Breaking Knife Knife is designed for high usage breaking and butcher work. The butcher's breaking knife, also called a skinning knife, has a long and curved blade that allows you to make a long, pulling cut. It is used to cut large pieces of meat. You can also use it to remove skin and fatty fibres. It is very suitable for shearing and covering. The butcher's knife is used as a versatile tool in slaughterhouses and butcher's shops. The task of the butcher's 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. However, it can also be used for rough cutting, including the quartering of whole meat products, which are then processed into large cuts. The subsequent process of portioning or cutting the meat into ready-to-eat pieces - known as fine cutting - requires precision and exact cutting action. That is why it is important that you have a sharp butcher's knife in your hands so that the meat is cut cleanly and is not torn. Especially expensive meat cuts such as fillets would suffer a significant reduction in value as a result. A break knife is distinguished first and foremost by the shape of its blade. It is on the narrow side, curved upwards and tapered to a point at the front. This simplifies handling and allows the knife to glide along easily when cutting. The cuts are long and can be made in a flowing movement, while the more comfortable hand position is easy on the wrist. The unique handle is designed to not only be highly ergonomic, for comfort, but also features a slip proof handle even when wet or greasy. This is what we refer to as a "double pour" handle. Meaning that there is a hard-inner core encased in a soft grip. This is to ensure that no bacteria can become wedged between the blade and handle. NSF Certified, Made in Germany. Learn More
