Getting a new brisket slicing knife.

[Roadpir8]

I currently have the inexpensive 12” Dexter Russel knife that Arron Franklin uses.

It has become a glorified Ginsu knife in my house and gets used for other stuff.

Anyone here use a Victorinox slicer knife With a granton edge blade?

I’m looking at either the 12” or the 14” one. I may splurge and get the rosewood handle with a three rivet tang. The plastic handle version has a partial tang but is probably fine.

What knife do your prefer to slice briskets?

Thanks.

I just bought a Victorinox and used if for the first time on a brisket this weekend... I was very happy with it. In fact, someone watching me slice my brisket commented on how well the knife was doing... I am pleased with it so far but time will tell....

Thanks for the replies!

My new Victorinox 12” knife will arrive in a couple days.

That looks like a juicy brisket.

Which one did you slice the bacon with? Great job of slicing!

The brisket and bacon were both done with the Messermeister. I think they refer to it as a reverse scallop because when held in your right hand, the wavy part is to the outboard side of the blade.

I’ve used a scalloped dexter for years. Works perfect. Got bored a couple of weeks ago and ordered an F Dick cimeter - https://www.bigpoppasmokers.com/frdick-10-cimeter-knife-ergogrip

Only used a couple of times so we’ll see.

I recommend to anyone who asks about knives or knife sets to check out Ergo Chef. It is a small, family run business and the owners, the Staib brothers, couldn't be nicer folks. Knives are high quality. They designed the handle for Ergonomic fit, hence the name Ergo Chef. I do not own the slicer listed below, but think I will order it for myself as a Christmas gift.

It came out great. My best brisket to date... I posted a thread about that cook.

Hi, just here to recommend 2 spanish brands.

3 Claveles
Arcos

They have the same quality as victorinox, but better prices.

The best thing I have to slicing is a 3 claveles "jamonero" knife.
(The blade is flexible, but Jamoneros are that way)

If you see it where you are, give it a try.

By the way, the best thing to do is learn how to sharp them right.

For all uses I´ve got a damascus brandless knife (aliexpress) of about 20cm blade. ->great!

And a set of useless knifes I bought time ago. (bad steel, bad forms, bad sharpening,... )
