Victorinox Cutlery 12-Inch Straight Butcher Knife, Black Fibrox Handle

Victorinox Cutlery 12-Inch Straight Butcher Knife, Black Fibrox Handle Review



Victorinox Cutlery 12-Inch Straight Butcher Knife, Black Fibrox Handle Feature

  • 12-inch butcher knife handles the largest butchering jobs with ease and is ideal for cutting whole roasts and big cuts of meat
  • High carbon stainless-steel blade provides maximum sharpness and edge retention; conical ground through length and depth for a wider break point; ice tempered to sustain sharpness longer
  • Blade stamped from cold-rolled steel; bolsterless edge for use of entire blade and ease of sharpening
  • Patented Fibrox handles are textured, slip resistant, and ergonomically designed for balance and comfort; NSF approved
  • Hand washing recommended; lifetime warranty against manufacturer defects; expertly made in Switzerland
The R H Forschner by Victorinox Butcher Knife features high carbon, stainless steel blade, hand finished at Victorinox in Switzerland by skilled craftsmen. A special tempering process is used to produce an edge that can be resharpened over and over again, so the knife can keep its original sharpness throughout the entire life of the blade. Victorinox handles are ergonomically designed to minimize wrist tension. They provide a natural fit. A good heft and comfortable, positive grip are indications of a well-made knife. A sure-grip handle with a finger guard is valuable feature since the handle inevitably gets greasy, wet, or both. Although cutlery steel is naturally sanitary, materials and construction details of the handle minimize crevices what would offer hospitality to bacteria.

Wusthof Gourmet 6-Inch Cleaver

Wusthof Gourmet 6-Inch Cleaver Review



Wusthof Gourmet 6-Inch Cleaver Feature

  • 6-inch cleaver for splitting poultry, disjointing meat, cutting through ribs, and more
  • Stamped from high-carbon steel with a stain-resistant alloy
  • Synthetic polypropylene handle triple riveted for durability
  • Precisely tapered from base to tip; made in Germany; hand wash for best results
  • Measures approximately 11 by 4 by 1/2 inches; limited lifetime warranty
A heavy cleaver is an extremely useful kitchen tool for splitting poultry, disjointing meat, and cutting through rib bones with utmost efficiency. This exemplary 6-inch model, best for moderately heavy bones, provides hefty weight and sufficient blade length to cut through bone and cartilage with ease. If you find yourself sawing at joints to section poultry or repeatedly hacking spareribs to separate or cube the bones, then this model is for you. Beautifully balanced, this cleaver has a comfortably long handle plus a blade "eye" for hanging when it's not in use.

Part of the Classic series, this cleaver represents two centuries of unexcelled Wüsthof craftsmanship. Like other cutlery in the series, it's hand-forged from a single piece of stainless steel for maximum strength; the hand-polished blade is exactingly calibrated to be hard enough to resist dulling yet soft enough to take a keen edge when it's honed or sharpened. Dishwasher-safe and with a traditionally shaped, ergonomically designed handle that is triple-riveted for durability, this cleaver brings a guaranteed lifetime of low-maintenance cutting to its owners. --Arthur Boehm A formidable tool, the cleaver blade is thick, inflexible, heavy and forwardly weighted. Tough enough to chop through joints and bones.

J.A. Henckels International Eversharp Pro 3-Piece Stainless Steel Knife Set

J.A. Henckels International Eversharp Pro 3-Piece Stainless Steel Knife Set Review



J.A. Henckels International Eversharp Pro 3-Piece Stainless Steel Knife Set Feature

  • Special serrated edge never needs sharpening
  • Three-piece knife set: 8-inch chef's, 5-inch utility, 3-inch paring
  • High-grade, rolled stainless steel capable of withstanding extreme stress
  • Polypropylene handle is impact and shock resistant
  • Dishwasher-safe, but hand washing preferred
This three-piece set of knives benefits from J.A. Henckels's 260 years in the cutlery business. The 8-inch chef's knife is a popular all-around knife for slicing and chopping, while the 5-inch utility knife will easily slice and dice smaller items, and the paring knife is great for peeling apples or slicing potatoes. They're made from high-grade, rolled stainless steel, produced using Henckels's own Sintermetal Component Technology. This process allows different grades of steel to be combined to form a single integral piece capable of withstanding extreme stress--each part of the knife is made from the grade of steel with the optimum characteristics for that component. Cutting edges feature a specially designed serration pattern, ensuring prolonged sharpness without resharpening. The full-length tang (meaning the metal continues all the way through to the end of the handle) gives you a better-balanced and stronger knife. The polypropylene handle with rustproof rivets is nearly indestructible. It's dishwasher-safe, but be careful that the blade doesn't touch other objects; hand washing is recommended to keep steel blades scratch free. --Doree Armstrong Henckels Eversharp Pro Three Piece Kitchen Knife Set: Model HK-08336. Includes 3" paring, 5" serrated utility and 7" chef's knives. Micro-serrated stainless blades never need sharpening. Visible tang. Triple riveted polypropylene handles. Hang packaged. Made in Japan.

  • Unique Global GF series for those that want a heavier Japanese knife
  • Face-ground with long taper so edge remains sharp longer
  • Blades made of high-tech CROMOVA stainless steel
  • Stainless-steel handles are molded for comfort and dimpled for safe grip
Global heavy weight 7-inch butchers knife. This heavy weight Global knife has more heft and a thicker blade than the knives in our classic G series. Excellent for butchering meat. Loved by professional chefs around the world, Global knives are an excellent choice for the serious home cook. The thin and razor sharp Global blade allows the cook to cleanly slice through foods, preserving the integrity of the ingredient and maximizing its flavor. The majority of Global knives are ground to a straight point rather than the western style of beveling the edge. To balance their knives Global uses a hollow handle that is filled with just the right amount of sand to create the correct balance. The handle has its own unique darkened dimples for a non-slip grip. Global knives have a smooth contour and seamless, all stainless construction that eliminates food and dirt traps. Global knifes are forged in Japan from CROMOVA 18 Stainless Steel, a blend of 18-percent chromium for good stain resistance plus molybdenum and vanadium which gives excellent edge retention.
