The Brisket Knife

J. A. Henckels has been forging knives in Solingen since 1731 - one of the oldest and most respected names in professional cutlery. This 310mm brisket knife is built for the long, controlled slice: breaking down whole briskets, roasts, and large smoked cuts with minimal resistance. The fully forged carbon steel blade sharpens to a finer, keener edge than stainless and develops a natural patina with use - a characteristic prized by serious cooks and collectors alike. One-of-a-kind and not available anywhere else.

Care & Maintenance

• Hand wash only - never dishwasher
• Dry immediately after washing to prevent rust
• Apply a light coat of food-safe mineral oil to the blade if storing long-term
• Sharpen with a whetstone - carbon steel responds exceptionally well to sharpening
• A natural patina will develop with use - this is normal and desirable
