As a wanna-be chef, and journeyman cook, I like good tools. I’ve been accumulating a kitchen full of cool stuff over the last couple of years, so much so that last time Dad was over, he asked me if I was going to be starting a diner.
That ain’t gonna happen for a couple of reasons.
1. You should never do what ya love for money. I have some small experience with this.
2. I hate cleaning up the kitchen.
I make beef jerky, a lot of beef jerky. And while I love my butcher, I wanted to take a crack at doing some carving of my own. Shortly before Christmas I got a call from my brother, pumping me for gift info. So I did some quick searching and came up with this:
Now that’s a knife!
18 inches long, scimitar blade, and a really skinny edge. Like less than 20 degrees. I will determine the real angle when it’s time to sharpen it.
That’s 12 inches of butterflying, carving, butchering goodness.
Cuts like butter through a chicken breast, easily cutting them into 3 thin quick cooking pieces.
I’ll let you know how it works when I get me a big ol’ roast to cut up for jerky.
Thanks Bro!!!
