Cutluxe Butcher Knife, 10" Cimeter Breaking Knife for BBQ & Brisket

I bought this Cutluxe 10" Cimeter Knife for the commercial kitchen I manage. It has a full tang, polished wooden handle, and a very sharp, curved blade which maintains its edge after heavy use. The blade is lined with divots which help prevent food from sticking, and though quite large, feels perfectly balanced in the hand. Function: I got this 9 months ago for my kitchen crew and I to use, mainly for butchering larger cuts of meat like beef eye rounds and pork shoulders. After primarily using perfectly functional, popular Swiss-inspired cimeters with black, plastic handles in the past, this Cutluxe knife feels like a huge upgrade. It has also surpassed our previous favorite knives in function, quality, and durability. We use it multiple times daily for breaking down larger cuts and for fine slicing of cooked meats for sandwiches. It holds its edge extremely well despite heavy daily use and multiple users, and the edge comes back quickly and easily with a honing rod or fine sharpening stone when needed (which isn't often). This is also washed multiple times daily in heavy-duty detergent and sanitized in bleach water, substances which can wreck blades and wooden handles, but it still looks brand new. It comes in a nice display box, and we actually use this to store the knife. Verdict: This knife is a pleasure to use and displays professional-level quality. It has held up beautifully after 9 months of constant use, and I expect it to continue delivering far into the future. Its perfect balance makes it easy to use, and its razor-sharp edge is easy to maintain. I liked it so much I purchased another knife from this brand with similar results, and I highly recommend it (with the blessings of my crew). Pros: Excellent value. Professional grade. Perfectly balanced. Easy to use and maintain despite large size. Cons: None evident after 9 months.

I started buying full racks of meat and break it down at home for a much cheaper price. I have a pretty good knife but it did not work well for this purpose. I purchased this knife, as well as a 7 inch fillet knife and I cannot explain how much easier this is. It is very sharp and is able to cut 2 inch steaks pretty easily. I am very pleased with it. The fact that is also comes with a sheath to keep it in is great as mentioned it is quite sharp.

Great quality and extremely sharp cuts the toughest meat like cutting butter, no effort needed. Quality workmanship, the smoothness of the handle and blade are a bonus! Great price

Amazon doesn't let me put in separate reviews of different knives so, i'm updating this. I ordered the scimitar along with the bull nosed knife as I knew I needed a longer, stronger, heavier knife, but I wasn't sure about which shape, would best fill my needs. Who doesn't want a Scimitar? I have never used one of these before, so I am learning which tasks it excels at, but taking rinds off melons is one! It is a beautiful knife, feels good in the hand, and is very sharp. I am certain I will find this will fill many gaps in my carving/cutting/chopping tasks as I learn to use it. The price point on these knives is something I can gamble on a new, potentially very useful tool. The bull nosed butcher knife is my new favorite knife. My Dad had one that I used growing up, but I had forgotten just how useful this size and weight of knife is. I bought it thinking primarily to use it with large pieces of meat - for cutting and shaping roasts, brisket, and the like, but now that it is in my kitchen, I also use it on large fruits & vegetables - pumpkins, watermelons, pineapples, cabbages - this knife makes preparing them a dream, so easy - this knife floats through what used to be daunting chopping tasks. I just wish I hadn't waited so long! The only "meh" is that the back tip of the bull-nose is not sharpened, so it can't be used to flick through membranes and tendons with that back point edge. I will be consulting with a knife sharpener professional to see if that can be done. Given my experience with these first two knives, I decided to upgrade my knifes and have now replaced most of my older knives with this line. I love the substantial handles - which make gripping easier in my large hands - and the wonderful balance these have. They are sharp, and seem to be holding the edges well so far. I am very impressed with the quality. These are all heavier, more substantial knives than their counterparts in my previous knife accumulation, and far superior at their tasks, so the main knife I'm hanging onto of the older ones is a chef's knife from cooking school. I like this new chef's knife, it is great for most chopping but it does not slice tomatoes with the ease my older - much thinner and lighter - chef's knife does. I wish there was a bird's beak pairing knife. They come in beautiful boxes, so they can make lovely gifts. If you have larger hands, or simply prefer substantial knives and want to upgrade the quality of your mishmash collection of knives, but aren't yet willing to shell out for a professional set that can be thousands of dollars, these are a wonderful step up. Very happy with my new knife collection.

My first impression was the packaging! Very tastefully done. The sheath was a close fit obviously custom, as it should be but there was no slop or play. Other reviews said it was sharp out of the box and that was my experience as well. I am not a professional butcher but I know my way around shoulder clods, inside rounds and chuck rolls. I am a carnivore and have been buying Costco bulk beef for three years. I had two shoulder clods to process and vacuum seal. This knife performed exceptionally well. I had a sharpened boning knife at the ready but never touched it! This 10” Cimeter nearly cut the meat by itself. Following seams was a dream. Silver skin vanished with ease. Portioning the meat in usable cuts was effortless. This is an upgrade from my Victorinox 10” breaking knife and they are not even in the same class.

Balde Shape, Blade Length , confortable handle, very good product, have a case, and protection, really sharp

Great quality knife, very sharp and ready to cut a 15lb brisket right out of the box. Handle fits well in the hand, and the blade is nice and sturdy. The edge held its sharpness pretty well through out the holidays. Came in a nice box with info pamphlets, a sheath and a cleaning wipe.

I did the whole Costco Slab of meat, 15lbs NY Strip and I needed a big knife! I mean for the price the knife is great, it cut like butter thru the thick cut of meat. There definitely is a technique to cutting and knowing how to maneuver a knife like this. But even trimming off small sections of fat were really easy with this knife. It does the job very nicely I recommend it.

This tool is by the most beautiful and most effective knife I’ve ever purchased. Extremely well packaged, it’s a great value for your money, sharp as hell. Great knife for professional and great for cutting steaks. I am very pleased
