I.O.Shen Butcher's Scimitar Knife

The I.O. Shen Scimitar was designed to perform several jobs without the need to change knives. The European angle to the first 13cm of the knife allows for small/medium bone work (for example poultry & lamb). The Japanese angle in the last 17cm of the blade is the precision meat slicer. An I.O. Shen twist on the traditional Butcher's steak knife.

"The Scimitar is long enough to act as a slicer for large cuts of cooked and raw meats. It works as a classic butcher's scimitar and the heavier European style blade profile at the heel means that smaller bones, gristle, cartilage etc. can be dealt with easily. While it's a large blade, it's well balanced and the I.O. Shen handle means it's comfortable to work with for extended periods of time."
Iain Devine (AKA The Drunken Butcher) - designer.

"This is a knife of epic proportions. Versatile, stylish, well balanced and most importantly, perfect for butchery."
Simon Wood, UK Masterchef Winner 2015.

"This Scimitar is ‘the’ kitchen tactical blade and boldest, most multifunctional knife in the series"
Dr Sweetsmoke, BBQ Legend.

Knife care and sharpening: Dishwasher cleaning is not recommended and will invalidate the lifetime guarantee.

The dual angle to the scimitar should be observed when sharpening. If using a whetstone, complete one angle before moving on to the next.
Other recommended methods of sharpening include a diamond sharpening file from I.O.Shen, a butcher’s steel (for the European edge only) or the KE198, KE3000 or KE280 knife sharpening machines (for the Japanese edge only).

Note: Only the European edge should be used for small and medium bone chopping. The Japanese edge is at risk if it comes into contact with hard objects. Please take care when using.
