I'd recommend the 12in version. I had the 14, for me it was too long, nothing that a saw and grinder couldn't fix. Much happier now. www.cutleryandmore.com great prices and service.

I was using the granton slicer recommended above, and it's a very good knife for the price, but it just didn't feel comfortable in my hand, and it seemed to be too long for precision slicing.
I use this one now, and absolutely love it.

With the VG-10 steel, it's easy to keep scary sharp, and the shape and weight make it easy to control. It's awesome for cutting ribs too!

Any knife will work if it is sharp. Sharp knife = good brisket knife

I use the same Shun that Mr. Bob mentions above. Great knife, stays sharp and is really well balanced in your hand. Just be aware that Shun makes right and left handed knives. Be sure to get the right style handle depending on your dexterity.
Thanks,

They have a sharpener that works great as well...2 or 3 strokes and it's razor sharp.

I have a 12" and a 14" Forschner and use each as needed. Love them both.
I have not tried the Shun yet; too pretty. 14" Slicer has been my go to knife for comps and catering on roast type cuts.

That is a nice looking knife, but it is pricey...

Custom Knife by Jerry Kohl's
I did not like how my knuckles dragged with most knifes and have big mits so I designed a knife with an offset similar to the 14" Glestain Beef Slicer. I went to a custom knife builder. The cost was similar, but I picked the wood for the handle, beautiful knife. I can give you contact info for Jerry if you are interested.

The reason your electric knife is giving you trouble is the blades. The design is very important as is their sharpness. I have used three different brands of electric knives and have found the Electric Fisherman (Academy $19.00) to be perfect for slicing BBQ. I replace my blades with NEW ones three times a year. It's $6.00 well spent for new blades.
Some electric knife blades leave a velvet like texture on one side of the meat slice. Others bind during use due to wear, meat getting in between the blades and or poor design causing the knife to chatter and vibrate making clean slices impossible.
I own twelve quality knives for my home kitchen and an Edge Pro sharpening system. I carry one knife in my cookbox, a Forschner 10" Scimitar, for emergencies in case I have no power at turn in time. Otherwise I use my electric. IMO High quality cutlery is a very seductive idea but a roll of expensive high maintenance knives are not needed to slice BBQ. One sharp knife to prep the meat and a quality electric knife is all you need. You just have to choose well. $40.00
