Can this knife be used to cut meats also? Can it be used as your "go to" knife?

Boyfriend, this knife WILL be your OFFICIAL GO TO knife! Meats, veggies, a watermelon, even soft fresh bread cuts like butter. Please remember to use your knife steel after a good amount of use like I do and it will continue to impress you. For a long time my go to was the Forschner Victorinox, suggested by Cook's Illustrated.....I think the Wusthof Nakiri has it beat big time. Hope you love it like I do!

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

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.

Yes. We use the meat slicer everyday in an industrial kitchen. Our chef really likes it.

I never used the knife to slice raw meat. I did find a review about the knife on America's Test Kitchen, but it only mentioned cooked roast.

No, not really. Meat requires a very sharp blade and although the blades in the machine are sharp, they're not that sharp. It works great for making ground beef with the cutting mixing blade, but for those deli slices, you are better off with a machine made for the job. Just search Amazon for "deli slicer" or "meat slicer."

Yes, these knives cut meat very well. I have used them to slice steak and turkey.

Yes this can cut through thick boxes and other things, especially since you can change the blade out as often as you need to always have a sharp edge. Also, the grip area of the knife is pretty large, with your index finger resting on the guard covering half the blade, there is plenty to hold on to. The knife is very thin, so if you have trouble gripping things, a thicker handle may work better for you, but this knife has always worked very well for me, and taken up very little space.

I use it to slice my homemade cheese, and it works well for me. You have to go slower than with meat, but it does slice well.

My husband uses this to filet all of the fish he catches. He says it is the most durable knife he has ever used and it cuts very thin pieces of small fish so it should work on meat, but he's never used it other than on fish so....

We have used it for steaks they were pretty good. Have not used it for thicker cuts of meat.

Absolutely. I carry this knife almost everyday just as a work knife. Also is a great knife if you are in public service. I suggest you buy a sharpener if you are going to use any knife like this to keep it sharp and useful.

This knife is good for slicing raw meat however it works a lot better when the meat is partially frozen so the meat will retain its shape as you slice it. I find this knife the best that I have ever used for slicing in uniform thickness if you do a little freezing first. dbf dblainefer@aol.com

I have only used with ground meat. I would think it would be ok if the meat was sliced thin.

I use it to slice normal kitchen fare like vegetables & trim meat. It is not a hunting or survival knife

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

The knives are extremely sharp ... I see no reason why they couldn't be used in cutting meat, unless you are used to a larger knife; the largest knife here is five inches (blade size). The normal pointed end on these knives is rounded, so you can't use the point to jab the meat and pick it up ... that is the only place where there might be a problem, if you are used to doing that; otherwise, it works for me. (I actually like the rounded tip since the blade is less dangerous)

I gave this requested gift as a wedding present. Didn't study it very hard. I don't think it had a serrated edge, so I don't think it would do raw beef or similar meats. I've used one very similar on chicken tenders , though I usually use scissors on small raw meats like that.
