Did I talk to you in NOLA about this knife? I jotted down a few brands but forgot who recommended what?

I use an electric for brisket  - Cuisinart CEK-40

I use an electric knife. It works well for me.

I used the Sani-Safe 12" scalloped roast slicer model: S140-12SC that Aaron Franklin recommended for the first time last week, it worked pretty well. I think it is the same as the Dexter Russell. It is available on Amazon.

Nola knows of it.  I've been pushing it for about two years.  Mainly because its the cheapest and most effective knife you can get for brisket.

You can find it cheaper than that if you look.  I usually pay $25.

Yep Dexter scalloped slicer. I have the non scalloped and it works but, the scalloped works much better. Pick em up online or at RD which is where I bought mine.

Brisket is a jiggly lump o' flesh with a crusty bark.  You need to slice cut rather than push cut.  The serrated is superior in this regard.  The Dexter has good value. Is it the best?  no.  Does AyAyron Franklin use it?  Yes.  Sufficient for brisket?  More than.
