The Braise butcher knife is made for raw meat and the grill: trimming a rib steak, breaking down a pork shoulder, cubing meat for kebabs. The wide, curved 6.5-inch blade is 5 mm thick, and with the full tang it weighs 13.9 oz. Standard stainless 5Cr15MoV at 60 ± 2 HRC, sharpened to 15° per side, raw black finish up top, polished edge, finger hole. Wenge handle with 3 rivets, leather sheath with snap included.
This butcher knife has a short, tall, curved blade built for raw meat and barbecue: trimming a cut, breaking down poultry, portioning ribs, slicing on the board next to the grill. Its weight, close to 400 g (14 oz), does part of the work.
Blade and Handle
The Braise Butcher Knife 6.5" has a thick blade (5 mm at the spine) in 5Cr15MoV stainless steel, hardened to 60 ± 2 HRC and sharpened to 15° per side. The upper blade keeps a raw black finish with an irregular texture that contrasts with the polished edge. The wide, curved blade has a finger hole for the index and three hexagonal cut-outs. The full tang runs through a wenge handle, a dark, dense wood held by three rivets. It comes with a snap-button leather sheath, handy for storage or for taking to the barbecue.

Sharpen on a stone
1000 grit rebuilds the edge. Low, steady angle.
Questions
Before you buy
Can it cut bones?
Cartilage and small soft poultry bones, yes, thanks to its 5 mm blade. For large hard bones, use a saw: a heavy blow can damage the edge.
What is the hole in the blade for?
Your index finger goes there to hold the blade close to the cut and guide it better. It also lets you hang the knife.
How do I care for the leather sheath?
Only put the knife away clean and dry, never wet. Wipe the leather with a dry cloth and treat it now and then with leather balm. Hand wash the wenge handle and dry it right away.
