Forschner 12" Cimeter Granton Edged Knife uses innovative "scallops" that create "air cushions" that allow them to cut smoothly without sawing, or tearing. Primarily for butchering large pieces of meat, cimeters also work well for slicing meats, roasts, turkeys and best of all...it will smoothly fillet your biggest catch of the day! Considered the perfect cutting edge, Granton blades can be resharpened on a conventional steel in the usual way. The Granton advantage is unsurpassed in performance, strength, and life.
