Adam R. ★★★★★

The 5-layer steel blade has some real heft to it, and it sliced through a whole brisket without any drag. I did not expect the bottle opener to get used as much as it does, honestly it's a nice touch after a long cook.

George ★★★★★

The forked tip makes flipping and spearing meat effortless, and I love that the bottle opener is right at the heel—handy after a long smoke. The sandblasted frosted finish repels sticking nicely, and the diamond-sharp edge glided through a brisket crust without tearing it.

William J. ★★★★★

The steel holds its edge through a whole weekend of carving without needing a touch-up, and the sandblasted finish gives it a solid grip even when my hands get slick. The bottle opener on the spine is a clever touch that’s saved me more than once at backyard cookouts.
