Butcher / Breaking

Primarily used for processing large cuts of meat, butcher and breaking knives are essential tools for professional chefs and cooking enthusiasts alike. With blades typically ranging from 8 to 12 inches in length butcher and breaking knives are often thought of interchangeably however there are definite distinctions in form that enable each to excel at different tasks. Butcher knives have long, stiff blades that come to a clubbed end which is ideal for holding a straight line while portioning steaks and trimming fats from primal cuts. Breaking knives are thinner and more flexible than butcher knives with tips that curve upwards towards the spine of the blade. Breaking knives are designed for use on primal cuts out of a hanging side of beef and are also extremely functional when breaking down whole fish. Scimitars (sometimes spelled Cimiters) are commonly categorized along with breaking and butcher knives as well. Similar to butcher knives in thickness, scimitars are wide and stiff with an upward curvature. This curved shape is beneficial in that it creates a longer slicing area which allows for a greater range per single slicing motion.

The blade shape of the dagger is narrow towards the front and has a pronounced tip. This ensures the crucial pinpoint stab. The knife has a blade length of 21 cm and a double-sided blade.

  • F. Dick Expert Grip 10 in. Breaking Knife

    The F. Dick Expert Grip 10 in Breaking 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 unique feel of the handle allows you to grip with lightning speed and precision, increasing output and productivity. The knife fits comfortably and naturally in your hand, so you will feel less tension, strain and pain. Even when wet and greasy, the surface structure of the handle is particularly non-slip and the knife lies securely and firmly in your hand. Thanks to the special manufacturing process – soft shell, hard core – there are no gaps between the blade and the handle, which prevents residues and bacteria from entering between the handle and the blade. The handle is easy to clean and resistant to heat, impact and abrasion. The butcher's break knife is used as a versatile tool in slaughterhouses and butcher's shops. The task of the break 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
