Does this knife too small to cut meat, it is less than 2 inches wide and the handle is less than 1 inch thick. Is it too samll for kitchen use ?

Its primarily a vegetable knife and a cheap one at that. It's good to use at home but not very good in a restaurant. It will break quickly with everyday use.

I like it for cutting meat since I keep it really sharp. But the edge is fairly thin so I am either very careful or use a boning knife around bones.

It honestly outperforms some of my very expensive Shun knives. I have nothing but good things to say about it. I will definitely be purchasing the rest of the set.

It's not uncomfortable but, depending on your hand size, it may not fit you well. I have large hands and it was a poor fit for me. I like smaller slipjoint knives but a knife of this type really performs best with a handle that allows variations to gripping to maximize cutting action. The Mini-Grip handle size didn't work for me although the blade length was just about perfect.

It should i have not use it i got it for myHubson for christmas last year and he loves it. Just make sure you have a dishwasher to wash everything it is good to use to cut meat. But not froozen ment make sure the meat is still a little hard. It is a good slicer

I doubt this would be good for verry thin cuts of meat, but it seems to work at about 3/4 inch deep.

I haven't. I haven't been using it very heavily, but this is a very big knife. I don't see it being a problem unless you throw it at something or stab something harder than wood

It Is a good knife and could cut small diameter rope but a may be smaller than what you need its blade is only about 2 3/4" long

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

No it has worked fine for slicing about a pound or two of meat at a time. That's all I need it for. I love mine!

Sorry about the delayed response. Yes the Knife will cut meat. I've cut through chicken backbones for soup stock. It also works great for prepping fruits and vegetables. I make a full meal for my family every day and I am mainly using this knife for cutting everything from meats to chopping garlic and parsley. I have had it for around 6 months now and I find that it works very well. I think it is well worth the money.

It should work fine for you as the blade is wide I even tried holding the knife as you describe and it seemed fine on my hand and finger.

I got this knife, primarily because Cooks Illustrated recommended it. And, to be honest, i haven't used it very much. This is not a fault with the knife, just haven't done that much with meat over the past few months. The knife seems comfortable to handle and sturdy. My opinion, based solely on instinct, is that i would prefer this straight bladed knife for boning. But then again, maybe i just need to be schooled in the appropriate technique for using a curved blade. Sorry i couldn't be more definitive.

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!

Yes, actually it is closer to 3 1/2 inches. its also a very solid knife. I have two now.

Would be too thick if you used the knife to guide. I don't have the knife anymore because of that- wasn't useful for cutting even slices.

I think it will be great. I have used it for onions & pickles & it cuts quickly & as small as you want it. The blade is very sharp.

Never have used it for that purpose but it does keep a sharp edge. It is a thinner knife which I would imagine could be of use for that. It is considerably smaller in the handle than other knives making it a good knife when reaching inside a deer so probably better for some finer work on wood

No, this knife is difficult to operate easily. I would try a different brand that specifically states its use on thick rind foods. Best wishes. Angelica
