Brisket slicing knife

I have the victorinox one......14" not serrated, but has the bevels in it to cut down the surface tension.

I have both. I like the dexter the best but it wreaks havoc on a cutting board. 

I like the Dexter for more things that just brisket.  It's a meat slicing machine.  

Pham is right, it's hell on a cutting board.

Best bread knife around, too. I use mine for LOTS of stuff.

You can find it cheaper than it is on Amazon right now...google: dexter s140-12sc-pcp

You can also find it locally at a restaurant supply store.

Do you like the smooth edge or the serrated better?

Both are excellent if they are very sharp.  The serrated one will stay sharper much longer which is good if sharpening your knives is not in your expertise.  I have both and choose the Dexter.

Guy at work makes jerky all the time and slices with the one I gave him.  I think he uses it for everything.

Forgot...it's what I slice my bacon with too.

You savage!  

I just picked a 12 inch Dexter with scallops today for 24.99.  I just happened upon it. then come home and see this posting.  I had to laugh and also felt reassured on my gamble.

Thanks guys and also for the heads up on the cutting board.

After one round with the Dexter on my Boos, I rolled into Costco and picked up a big plastic NSF board for slicing meats and what-not. Much more palatable to see grooves in that 12 dollar board vs my "definitely not 12 dollar" Boos board.

A Dexter doesn't hold a candle to this

Nothing like slicing up some pizza after trimming up some linoleum. Adds that je ne sais quoi parmigiano never can.

For serrated blades, pizza cutters, and cleavers, it's nice to have bamboo.  So many knifesnobs hate on it, but it does serve a purpose, at least in my kitchen.
