A butcher knife is typically characterized by its heavy, broad blade designed for cutting through meat and bone. The blade curves towards the tip to facilitate a clean slicing motion. The handle is sturdy and ergonomically designed to provide a secure grip, allowing for precise and forceful cuts.The term butcher knife is typically used to describe a bull-nose shaped knife, that is widest near the tip. This style of knife is helpful when portioning steaks or other cuts of meat and pork because you can visually line up your cuts with the wide tip of the blade. Functionally the club-nose butcher knife is very similar in usage to the scimitar knife shape. Scimitars are also used to process whole animals and large cuts, but they maintain their width from the handle to the tip. Scimitars are slightly more flexible than true butcher knives. Both knives have blades that range from 10 to 14 inches in length and can be used interchangeably.
