Butcher’s Scimitar


£174.95

The I.O. Shen Scimitar was designed to perform several jobs without the need to change knives. The European angle to the first 13cm of the knife allows for small/medium bone work (for example poultry & lamb). The Japanese angle in the last 17cm of the blade is the precision meat slicer. An I.O. Shen twist on the traditional Butcher’s steak knife.

The Scimitar is long enough to act as a slicer for large cuts of cooked and raw meats. It works as a classic butcher’s scimitar and the heavier European style blade profile at the heel means that smaller bones, gristle, cartilage etc. can be dealt with easily. While it’s a large blade, it’s well balanced and the I.O. Shen handle means it’s comfortable to work with for extended periods of time.

This is a knife of epic proportions. Versatile, stylish, well balanced and most importantly, perfect for butchery.

“This Scimitar is ‘the’ kitchen tactical blade and boldest, most multifunctional knife in the series”

    This beauty was bought for me as a 50th birthday present, engraved with my name in Japanese. As someone that likes to cook large slabs of meat, this knife is superb for preparing large joints or for carving them once cooked. Goes through cracking with ease – this is like the combination of a cleaver and carving knife, incredibly well balanced and easily manageable, even for a big blade. I should also mention that my wife told me that Natalie was incredibly helpful and very lovely over the phone when taking the order and advising on the engraving service. I love this knife, it makes me smile whenever I use it.
