Unbreakable Victorinox Knife Review: I needed a super sharp knife with a curved blade like this for trimming the fat from beef brisket before smoking it. Not only was this blade super sharp but the handle was easy to hold and has a nice non-slip surface for keeping your grip even if you get a little grease on your hand. The curve is especially important in this type of use as opposed to a straight blade so you are not getting the sharp tipped point caught up in the fat layers you're trying to cut off. IDK what is motivating some customers to criticize the lack of sharpness with this blade but that doesn't apply to the one I got. Once the brisket had 9.5 hours of smoking and 2 hours rest I used this same knife to slice it into prox 1/4" wide strips to serve to my guests and it worked better and easier than 3 specialty meat knives that I used to use for this purpose! In subsequent days I even used it to easily and cleanly slice ripe homegrown tomatoes that are notorious for being tough to get through the skin. This went through like a chainsaw through butter! In reality, to use specifically to trim the fat on briskets this 8" blade is about 2" longer than would be ideal for that purpose but its such a high quality, super sharp steel blade that I look forward to adding it to our kitchen collection for lots of uses in the future. I'll probably go back and try to buy a 6" version of this for the fat trimming as it will be a little more appropriately sized for that. I've not owned any cutting tools from this well known, Swiss brand but I'm a believer in their high quality, now!! I recommend this to any foodie who is serious about getting good results on the cutting board with your kitchen creations. Great knife!! Review: Sehr gut!
