Engineered to perfection at 55 Rockwell hardness, with a full-tang and triple riveted construction.

Review: Hier spricht der Metzger/Fleischhauer. - Hallo Fazit: Dieses großes Rindfleisch-Messer ist für Rinderhälften und Schweinehälften zum Grob zerlegen perfekt geeignet. Als Koch/Gemüsemesser ist das Messer zu groß. Wenn du wenig Platz hast wirst du mit diesem Messer keine Freude haben, weil du stößt und eckst überall an. Mit diesem Messer brauchst du Platz um die Schnittlänge ausnutzen zu können. Verwendungszweck: Zum Rinderviertel zerlegen (z.b. in Knöpfel/Platte/Schulter/Englischer usw.) und Schweinehälfen zerlegen (z.b. in Karree/Schulter/Kopf/Bauchfleisch/ Schlögel usw.) hat das Messer die richtige länge. Auch für Rindsrouladen schneiden ist es optimal nutzbar. Große Fleischstücke zu zerteilen funktioniert mit diesem Messer perfekt. Auch kann man damit, große Steaks (z.b. Tomahawksteak) Tellergerecht zerteilen und das Fleisch so zuputzen, daß es manierlich am Teller aussieht. Das Messer braucht allerdings auf Grund der Länge viel Platz, beim Hantieren. Handhabung: Für (Kleinvieh) Kaninchen, Hasen, Rebhühner, Huhn und Gemüse klein schneiden, ist das Messer zu wuchtig. (da gibt es andere Messer z.b. Hasenmesser, Geflügelmesser, Gemüsemesser glatt und gezahnt u.s.w.) Für Kottlett, Schnitzel ,Steak, Schinken (dünn) und Speck (dünn) schneiden, passt es aber. Tipp: Vorsicht mit der Spitze, (sehr Spitz) Ein Kettenhanschuh mit Ringerl und eine Stich/Schnittschutzschürze mit Ringerl hilft dir da nicht. Die Stich/Schnittschutzschürtze sollte Platten haben. Sicherheit geht vor. Wieso ? Die Stichschutzschürtze schützt euch vor Bauchstichen. Da gibt es so eine Vene/ Artertie wo man wenn man da genau reinsticht, nach ca 6 Minuten verblutet ist. Bitte verwendet Stichschutzschürzen und Schnittschutzhandschuhe. Den Schnittschutzhandschuh gibt es mit 3 Fingerschutz, 5 Fingerschutz und auch mit Unterarmschutz. Alle Fleischhauer und Metzger tragen einen Fingerschutz und auch eine Stichschutzschürtzte. ich sehe viele Köche mit Pflaster an den Fingern !!! Muß das so sein ? So das war es dann auch schon wieder von mir, liebe Grüße an die Leserschaft und viel Spaß beim Kochen.

*by G***S on 9 August 2019*

Excellent product excellent knife and razor sharp

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Really solid knife - beautiful!
*by M***D on 20 October 2020*

5-Stars, with a caveat. The knife is absolutely beautiful. The quality of craftsmanship is apparent from the moment you hold it. The knife comes beautifully packaged with a very substantial sheath for protection. Balance is very good. Extremely sharp. Well designed. The caveat: I am saving this for a gift item - which I did not intend until I saw it. I'll get another for myself very soon, so I have yet to actually put it thru its paces. But any doubts this item won't be appreciated by the recipient should be laid aside. If they use knives and know quality, they'll love it!
