Flint and Flame Classic Series Ham/Brisket Knife

The scalloped edge creates small air pockets between the blade and the meat, which prevents slices from sticking to the knife. This design is essential for achieving thin, clean, and uniform slices of brisket or ham without tearing the delicate fibers.

This knife is designed specifically for long, smooth slicing motions rather than intricate deboning work. While it has a slight flexibility to help it glide through large cuts, it is not a boning knife and should not be used to cut through bone or cartilage.

The silicone handle is specifically chosen for its non-slip properties, providing a secure, tacky grip even when your hands are wet or covered in meat juices. It offers more stability than traditional wood or smooth plastic handles, which is crucial when handling a 12-inch blade.

The included cover is a lockable hard-shell guard that snaps securely onto the blade. It is designed to protect both the knife's edge and your fingers when reaching into a drawer, making it much safer than a standard fabric or soft plastic sheath.

Because this is a scalloped blade, you should avoid using a standard pull-through sharpener, which can damage the scallops. Instead, use a honing rod regularly to keep the edge aligned, and have it professionally sharpened or use a specialized serrated sharpener when it eventually dulls.
