Brisket knives? What's your preference

Wolfpack

Ready to break down and get one- what do you use serrated or slicer? I'm leaning towards a scalloped edge to help bite through the bark but wanted to check with people that have and use them...

I like a slicer non serrated. Mainly because I wanted something I could sharpen if need be.

Picked these up at RD for a reasonable price.

I've used an electric knife on my briskets at home.

 

A couple months ago I entered my first barbeque contest, and didn't have electricity.  I brought my slicer and serrated knives (both Henckel's).  The slicer worked beautifully on the first briskie (used up for attendee samples) but my second one had a hard crust on the bottom; the slicer didn't cut it, the serrated blade did but really tore the slices up.  I'm extremely happy I got 5th out of 16 for brisket, because I KNOW I got zero points for presentation.  

 

A 'que Competition was marked off my Bucket List, I doubt I'll ever enter another one.  I like cooking in my backyard for friends and family, and I'll use an electric knife for that.  

But a slicer works too...

Let me point out that I have the Victorinox Granton Slicer...IT SUCKS MAJOR BALLS compared to the Dexter Sani Safe Roast Slicer.

You won't regret it. It also makes a great bread knife.
