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.

F. Dick Ergo Grip 8.5 in. Granton Edge Breaking Knife
The F. Dick Ergo Grip 8.5 in. Granton Edge Breaking Knife the task of the butcher's break knife is to produce beautiful pieces of meat that have been cleanly separated from components such as tendons and fibers 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.

F. Dick ErgoGrip 10 in. Granton Edge Breaking Knife
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$37.70
