Is this knife good for cutting or trimming meat?

I have used it non-stop since I got it. I really like this knife, especially for the price. Watch your fingers...it is super sharp.

I would say its better for trimming meat than cutting. Although it does cut it ok.

This is a big heavy cleaver for chopping thru bones. I use a chef knife on galanga, but your knife has to be sharp. The cleaver could do the job easily but it would be hard to thinly slice.

I would think that this would work great on any meat.Electric knives usually are wide blades with blunt tips, where these are narrow and pointed tipsallowing for increased flexibility.

This exact knife is what I have and love it. I do a lot of meat trimming from brisket to ribs, this is my go to knife. I keep it razor sharp with my wicked edge sharpening system. Do yourself a favor and buy a good hone like the f.dick butchers smooth hone

Yes, this knife also works well for cutting sushi rolls. Be sure to clean thoroughly between cuts/rolls (with a rag).

It is good for choppin' and dicin'. Feels a lot sharper than my other knives. I try to avoid whackin' bones or cutting bolts and keep it clean and dry.

I bought it mainly to slice turkey. It is great! also good on other meats. I have had mine for years and am now purchasing a second one as a gift. I mainly use it on holidays. Love it!

I have not sliced meat yet. I use it primarily to slice cheese and it works great.

My husband uses this knife to debone the pork butts. It is very sharp and will cut through almost anything! A great purchase!

It is not a knife I would use for chopping, but for cutting and slicing, it works extremely well. Very sharp.

It would work for brisket or any kind of meat except that since it has a serrated edge they do not cut as cleanly as I like for a knife to. It would not work for cutting around bones. As for sharpening, that would be very difficult. I have never sharpened a serrated edge knife. I suppose it could be done with a chain saw file if you could find one with the same size serrations but I would not consider it. It might could be done with small diameter wooden dowels wrapped in sandpaper but they would be so small as to make them to fragile to be usable. Consider this not able to be sharpened. There is a large slicing knife on here that would be better suited for your needs and it can be sharpened.

No, it won't slice meat very long. I stripped the drive gears during the 4th time I used it. Gears are plastic. It never saw hard use. Don't waste your money.

Sure. I would think it might work well for cutting cooked meat too. The Serrated blade can be sharpened with the proper stone. The blade is very sturdy, and does not bend much. The handle is large and very comfortable, with a nice finger guard near the blade. I think it'd be great for cutting Brisket! If they make a fillet knife, I'd buy one of those too!

As I am a vegetarian I do not eat meat so I would not know if the knife would work for that purpose. I did purchase a slicing knife at Amazon that is great. It is almost as large as the cake knife and just as sturdy.I do not know how to sharpen a serrated blade.

I think it's mainly for cheese, fruit and vegetables. Haven't tried it on meat but would imagine it's like any other serrated blade, just hope the meat doesn't get stuck in the holes.....

This knife is used for vegetables, I use it exclusively for veggies. You could use it for meats, why would you want to?

The blade is serrated and very sharp. I use it to fillet fish and it easily cuts through rib bones. I am not aware of a tool for sharpening serrated knives.
