Scimitars / Cimeters

Precision Portioning: The Professional's Choice for Masterful Butchery When high-volume meat processing demands both speed and surgical precision, the Victorinox 12-inch Scimitar (Cimeter) stands alone. Designed for the professional butcher and the serious pitmaster, this Swiss-made masterpiece is the definitive tool for portioning large sub-primals into retail-ready steaks. The aggressive curve of the 12-inch blade is not just for aesthetics; it provides a longer cutting edge that allows for single-stroke slicing, reducing the 'sawing' motion that can tear delicate proteins and mar the presentation of your cuts. Crafted from Victorinox's world-renowned martensitic stainless steel, the blade offers a perfect balance between edge retention and ease of sharpening. At a Rockwell Hardness of 55/56, it is resilient enough to handle the rigors of the butcher block while maintaining a razor-sharp 50/50 bevel. Whether you are removing the fat cap from a brisket, stripping silver skin from a tenderloin, or cubing scrap for premium stew meat, the blade's weight and balance do the heavy lifting for you. The handle is a testament to traditional craftsmanship, featuring Modified Maple Wood (commonly referred to in the trade as Rosewood for its rich hue and durability). This hardwood is naturally slip-resistant and ergonomically shaped to reduce wrist fatigue during extended use. Unlike synthetic handles, the maple handle develops a unique character over time while providing the warmth and tactile feedback that professional chefs and butchers prefer. This is more than a knife; it is an extension of the artisan's hand, built to withstand decades of service in the most demanding culinary environments. Learn More
