Title: You just never know!!
Post by: Tenpoint5 on September 01, 2010, 09:07:01 PM
I had this Jerky cutting board sent to me by a friendly Canuck. Only problem was I didn't have a knife long enough to reach all the way across the thing to make a cut. I happen to stop at a yard sale and for $3 I found this Carbon steel knife that was made between 1920 and 1950 then they changed the blade steel. My son calls it Pappa's Pirate knife!! I think it was a good deal, what do you think.

It will also make for a great brisket slicing knife

I have a similar knife that I bought from a butcher supply store for slightly more money :'(.    It's blade might be slightly longer.   I used it for cutting meat, although my wife has grabbed it on occasion and used it to cut homemade  pizzas.    I've seen butchers use them and thought I should have one ;).   Thought it might be a little awkward but it works great.

That'll make for a great Christmas picture, with you posing w/ the knife (carefully) between your teeth...

AVAST!
