Cimeter knives, also known as scimitar knives, are the perfect cutlery choices when slicing large pieces of raw meat. Commonly used in butcher shops, supermarkets, steakhouses, and meat markets, these knives allow users to easily and safely divide tough meat into retail-sized portions. Each scimitar knife features an extremely sharp and long blade that helps users trim meat closer to the bone, so they can get the most from their product. You can also find knives with granton edges that prevent product from sticking to the blade’s surface.
The blade of a cimeter knife is slightly curved, and its tip raises above the level of the handle, giving users a larger range of motion when slicing. Many of the cimeter knives we carry feature Fibrox handles to provide the user extra support during heavy-duty preparation. This non-slip material won’t become dangerously slick, even when its exposed to water and other residual juices.
If you’re handling raw steak, lamb, beef, or chicken, then you should have a set of cimeter knives on hand. Not only will these knives make the process easier and more efficient, but they're also safer to use than other cutlery options. A majority of the knives we carry are also NSF Listed, which is crucial when handling raw meat and poultry. When performing this type of prep, be sure to protect your hands with
cut resistant gloves. For more great products to package fresh cuts of meat, be sure to check out our
