Know before you buy
A cimeter knife features a curved, 10-inch blade specifically designed for butchering tasks. The curve allows for long, smooth slicing motions, making it ideal for trimming large cuts of meat, removing silver skin, and portioning steaks with minimal effort.
The Fibrox handle is made from texturized nylon, offering a superior, non-slip grip that is NSF-approved and dishwasher safe, making it the practical choice for high-volume kitchen work. The rosewood handle provides a classic, ergonomic feel and aesthetic, though it requires hand-washing and occasional maintenance to preserve the wood.
While the high carbon stainless steel is designed to hold a sharp edge and resist corrosion, it is not rust-proof. We recommend hand-washing and drying the blade immediately after use to maintain its integrity and prevent spotting.
This knife is a versatile tool for anyone who frequently processes large cuts of meat at home. While it is built to professional-grade standards, its ergonomic design and balance make it an excellent addition to any home kitchen where butchery or large-scale carving is performed.
The frequency of sharpening depends on your usage, but the high carbon steel is known for excellent edge retention. Using a honing steel before each use will help maintain the blade's alignment and sharpness, extending the time between professional sharpenings.
