Review on ๐Ÿ”ช Improved SEO: Victorinox Fibrox Pro 8-Inch Curved Breaking Knife for Efficient Meat Cutting by Matthew Marquez

Revainrating 5 out of 5

ultra sharp right out of the box!

I needed a super sharp knife with this curved blade to trim the fat off a breast before smoking. Not only was this blade very sharp, but the handle was easy to hold and has a nice non-slip finish that allows you to hold onto it even if you have a little grease on your hand. The curve is especially important with this type of use, as opposed to a straight blade, so you don't hit the tip of the point with the layers of fat you're trying to slice off. IDK which has led some customers to criticize the lack of sharpness on this blade, but that is not the case with what I received. When the brisket had smoked for 9.5 hours and rested for 2 hours I used the same knife to slice it into strips about 1/4 inch wide to serve to my guests and it worked better and easier than 3 special carving knives, which I have used for this purpose! In the days that followed, I even used it to easily and cleanly slice ripe, homegrown tomatoes, which are notorious for being difficult to cut through the skin. It went through butter like a chainsaw! This 8 inch blade is actually meant specifically for removing chest fat and is about 2 inches longer than would be ideal for this purpose, but it is such a high quality, super sharp steel blade that I look forward to adding it to our kitchen collection for many uses in the future. Maybe go back and try buying the 6 inch fat trim version as it's a little better suited for that. I have never had cutting tools from this famous Swiss brand, but now I believe in their high quality! I recommend this to all foodies who are serious about getting good results on the cutting board with their kitchen creations. Great knife!
