: This exceptional Scimitar Breaking is the work of Argentinian knifemaker Pablo Untroib. Pablo lives in Buenos Aires. He specializes in knives for professional and amateur cooks as well as making outdoor knives.
The Breaking Knife is designed to cleanly and confidently divide large cuts of meat. While commonly seen in professional butcher shops, it is equally useful at home or out in the field. This is the perfect knife for breaking down large cuts of meat bought at a store, such as whole loins and shoulders, into smaller portions. Hunters will often use this style of knife for processing large game themselves rather than pay a butcher shop to do it. It is also the preferred knife for filleting salmon and other large fish, removing their fins, and even the head! Whether used on fishing trips or in the kitchen, this scimitar will be a workhorse!
The blade is O2 carbon steel. At Hrc 60, it will have a keen, long lasting edge. An elegant forced patina provides limited rust resistance and helps you get comfortable working with carbon steels. Because this knife is made from carbon steel, we recommend camellia oil to avoid rust and oxidation.
Quartersawn Argentine Lignum Vitae (Bulnesia sarmientoi) wood handle scales are set on the full tang for strength and durability. This wood is also known as palo santo (holy wood). This rare wood has similar properties and uses to “true” lignum vitae, combining tremendous strength and durability. Its interlocking “boar’s bristle” grain combines light brown and green tones. The interlocking figure is particularly dramatic. The domed handle is nicely contoured so that it fits most hands.
The knife is accompanied by a veg tanned leather sheath. This well balanced breaking knife can be used for hours without fatigue. It is a perfect choice for both home and commercial chefs – as well as fisherman.
