BBQ Brisket Slicing Knives
Mouthwatering aromas waft into the air as you finish one of our BBQ brisket recipes and finally plate that tasty slab of low-and-slow brisket, fresh from the smoker. The next few minutes are all you've thought about today — ever since you started dry-rubbing your special, carefully guarded spice blend across this beautiful cut. Bless his soul, your butcher did you right. The dishes are out, the drinks are chilled. Sure, conversation carries on, but nobody's fooled. Every nose turns your way. Every stomach growls. The moment of truth has finally come: It's time to carve up dinner. If you're lucky? Your next few lunches, too.
Do you really want to reward all your hard work and anticipation with a literal hack job?
Not every meat slicing knife is made equal. Brisket joints tend to make large, tough, and fibrous meats; it stands to reason that the best knives for slicing brisket will be both long and sharp enough to make that important initial cut. We recommend brisket knives with blades measuring at least 9 1/2 inches long; this guarantees your meat carving knife is up to the challenge. When it comes to dinnertime, you've got two great choices for a quality brisket knife:
Straight-edged blade — less likely to tear the meat while carving and makes for cleaner cuts
Serrated-edged blade — better for tougher meats, such as cooking at higher temperatures
Our select brisket knives come from all over the world, forged to the highest specifications by the highest pedigrees in the cutlery industry. Most of our BBQ knife partners have been in business for centuries, but all of them back their work with lifetime guarantees. Rest assured that whichever slicing knife you choose, it will bring out the very best in your briskets for many years to come.
