Brisket Slicing Knife

[WiscoKid]

I would like to chime in, as this was something I dealt with myself. I have a Victorinox slicer and the thing I most appreciate about it is the grip. No matter how wet or greasy my hands may get, I always feel in control of the knife.

It seems Malcom reed agrees one of his primary concerns was the handle different knife same reason.


Personally This knife is on my short list

If edge retention is an issue this knife will be a winner the steel in this one is amazeing at keeping an edge. It is the other one on my list and will be the most likely purchase since I have several others in this series.

I am very much in Malcom Reed’s camp. The commercial knives with the textured NSF handles are as good or better for this task than the much more expensive forged knives with traditional European style handles. When your hands are full of juice and grease, the commercial handle is a huge benefit.

This is one of those rare cases where the less expensive knife is actually the better one.

I'm going to be a contrarian and suggest if you need a really sharp top shelf knife to slice your brisket, you're doin' it wrong. :tongue:

(I use a Chicago Cutlery 10" slicer that they don't seem to make any more. If money were no object I'd probably have the Wusthoff, but it is and the slicer does fine for me. Just don't get the one with the serrated blade. It won't cut straight.)

I agree with Ron from Chicago, the Wusthof is exceptional and the BEST knife I own... however, I never have used the Victorinox.
