Hopefully it will help with my trimming technique. Thanks for the recomendation @cazzy . I love that the brand is Dexter. That's funny to me.

It's supposed to be a great knife for trimming larger cuts of meat such as brisket, ham and the such. @cazzy posted a picture of Franklin using a knife that looks just like it if not the same while trimming a brisket.
If it works for @cazzy one of the more talented cooks I "know" by being on the forum and works for Franklin, I'll give it a go.I raise my kids, cook and golf.

There you go spending my money again. I don't work tomorrow and am a couple of beverages in. Forgive me for not using trimming and slicing properly.

Happy to help boss! Congrats on the new knife. It also works great for ribs and sausage. I have also used it with poultry and steaks too.
It is very sharp so use proper knife techniques. The scallops really do a great job.Just a hack that makes some $hitty BBQ.... -
Thanks again @cazzy, really appreciate it. Thinking I'm going to do a pastrami tomorrow and test it on that and do some ribs this weekend.I raise my kids, cook and golf.

For slicing meat, is the scalloped blade preferred over the straight edge version?Phoenix
-
The scalloped blade is better for carving through bark and not screwing it up. I have a victorinox granton edge slicing knife (basically no scallops) and it doesn't even come close. This cuts through bark better than any knife I've used.blasting said:For slicing meat, is the scalloped blade preferred over the straight edge version?Just a hack that makes some $hitty BBQ.... -
Thanks cazzy for the advice and op for posting. I'm glad I asked. I had the 12" victorinox granton in my cart @ amazon.Phoenix

Mine came Monday. Now I need time to cook something!

something so wrong about knives named DEXTER, that series was just sick lolNEPA, Med egg,

Yes, @cazzy nailed it. The serrated blades cut through the bark and crust in bread much better than even scary sharp Japanese steel. Use the right tool for the job.
