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.

The F. Dick Red Spirit 10 in. Scimitar or "Hektor" is not your average scimitar as it is made of a high carbon stainless steel that should have better edge retention than similar scimitars on the market. Scimitars are often used by butchers who like soft steel than can be quickly honed with a rod. This "Hektor" scimitar by Friedrich Dick should not require such frequent honing due to the harder steel, making this a reliable blade. Made in Germany. Learn More

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
