Butcher / Breaking

The F. Dick ErgoGrip 10 in. Granton or Hollow Edge Breaking Knife was designed with a butcher in mind. This knife is used for breaking the primal cuts out of a hanging side of beef. Useful in dressing out wild game like deer and elk. Break knives must be very sharp, durable and resilient as well as having all the necessary safety features, such as an ergonomically shaped handle with finger guard. It must also comply with the hygienic food law requirements. When used in slaughterhouses and cutting plants, functional handles are an absolute must for ergonomic, safe and fatigue-free work. The butcher's knife must sit comfortably and securely in the hand without slipping, as professional knives are in continuous use for hours on end. The finger guard on the handle prevents your hand from accidentally slipping off and coming into contact with the knife blade. For our butcher's knives, we exclusively use high-quality knife alloys (X55CrMo14) and material compositions for the blade and handle. The blade's balanced hardness of 56° HRC significantly reduces material consumption and ensures that the cutting edge has a long life time. For you, this means considerably less sharpening. In our special hardening process, each blade is individually case-hardened and monitored - with optimum results in terms of hardness and structure. Each cutting edge is given a polishing finish: even sharper, even faster, even better – also thanks to the knife's cutting edge and blade geometry. You can rely on our professional quality: the knife retains its cutting ability and edge retention for a very long time. This allows for effortless, fatigue-free work. Your wrists are not subjected to unnecessary strain. After all, working with a dull butcher's knife requires more strength, places greater strain on the joints, increases the risk of accidents and can lead to tension and pain. With the polished blade, we guarantee the highest level of hygiene. This means that less residue can adhere to the blade, making them corrosion-resistant and easier to clean. There is no gap at the blade exit from the handle, and the handle absorbs neither grease nor dirt. Furthermore, it is easy to clean and resistant to heat, shocks and abrasion. The break knife of the ErgoGrip and Expert Grip 2K have been awarded the American NSF seal for hygiene and quality. The special Kullenschliff (Granton or Hollow Edge) reduces sticking to the blade, as air cushions are created between the food to be cut and the blade. Learn More

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

The Industrial Standard for High-Volume Seafood Processing When processing large-haul seafood or maintaining a commercial prep station, a standard fillet knife simply lacks the torque required for structural breakdown. The Dexter Sani-Safe 12-inch Fish Splitter (S112-12H) is engineered specifically for tasks that demand 'backbone.' Whether you are cleaving fish heads, processing oversized deep-sea species, or preparing massive quantities of chum, this tool provides the weight and leverage necessary to move through bone and cartilage with professional efficiency. Engineered for the Commercial Environment At the heart of this tool is DEXSTEEL™, Dexter's proprietary high-carbon, high-alloy stainless steel. This metallurgy is specifically balanced to achieve a Rockwell Hardness of 56-58, providing the perfect 'sweet spot' between edge retention and impact resistance. Unlike brittle high-end Japanese steels, this blade is designed to withstand the shock of heavy-duty splitting without chipping, making it the preferred choice for commercial seafood markets and charter boats. The Sanitary Advantage The Sani-Safe™ handle is not just an industry icon; it is a safety essential. The textured, slip-resistant polypropylene grip ensures absolute control even when submerged in scales, oils, and moisture. The impenetrable blade-to-handle seal is NSF certified, preventing the growth of bacteria in the 'danger zone' where the blade meets the grip. Designed to withstand temperatures up to 250°F, this knife is as easy to sanitize as it is to use, ensuring your kitchen remains compliant with the strictest health standards. Learn More
