Description:
Precision Butchery Meets Custom Craftsmanship
Engineered specifically for the demands of the cutting board and smoker station, this custom-made 6″ trailing-point slicer merges the sweeping geometry of a traditional butcher’s cimeter with the agility and balance of a high-end chef’s knife. Designed to excel at seam butchery, fat-cap trimming, and portioning barbecue, it delivers effortless, flowing draw-cuts without tearing or snagging delicate bark.
The Geometry of the Draw-Cut
Measuring 11 inches overall, the knife is optimized for smooth, fluid motion. The 6-inch trailing-point blade features a continuous, sweeping belly that maximizes effective cutting length while the raised, acute tip provides surgical control for tracing bone, lifting silver skin, and scoring briskets. With a generous 1.5-inch heel height and a deep choil relief, it offers full knuckle clearance on the board and creates an intuitive pocket for a choked-up pinch grip during detailed trim work.
Razor-Grade Swedish AEB-L Stainless Steel
At the core of this build is AEB-L Stainless Steel, renowned for its fine grain structure, high toughness, and exceptional corrosion resistance. Ground lean from 3/32-inch stock, the thin geometry dramatically reduces drag when slicing through dense proteins and roasts. The blade is meticulously brought to a hand-rubbed satin finish, highlighting clean grind lines while providing a refined, glare-resistant aesthetic that wears beautifully over time.
Surgical 12.5-Degree Edge
To complement the fine grain of the AEB-L steel, the edge is hand-honed to a laser-keen 12.5 degrees per side. This acute bevel bites immediately and glides effortlessly through proteins, ensuring single-stroke, clean-faced slices on everything from tender pork belly to whole briskets.
Artisan Split-Scale Handle: Black Ash & Dyed Maple Burl
The handle showcases a striking two-tone construction that pairs rugged durability with organic luxury. The forward bolster section features an intricately figured, dyed Black Ash Burl, transitioning seamlessly into the rich, warm figure of Maple Burl. Accented by precision G10 liners and spacers with solid brass pins, the handle is shaped with an ergonomic palm swell and a flared rear pommel. This contour locks into the hand for a secure, slip-resistant grip; even when working through greasy, wet barbecue prep.
