Product Description

Vintage F Dick 8" scimitar with forged carbon steel blade, nickel riveted walnut handle.

The blade was sharpened just enough to warrant a thinning; it has been reground with a strong convex blade face and has a fresh new edge. Epoxy was added to the handle cracks to help keep them from spreading, it will be stable so long as it does not get soaked

About This Knife

Butchery Knife

Built for tough butchery work.

Carbon Steel

Reactive blade.

Scimitar

A scimitar knife is a long, curved butcher’s knife designed for trimming, portioning, and slicing large cuts of meat. Its sweeping blade allows smooth, powerful strokes that follow the natural shape of primals, while the pointed tip provides accuracy for detail work. The pronounced curve helps generate momentum for clean, efficient cuts, making the scimitar a go-to tool for butchers working with beef, pork, and lamb.

Care Guide

This is a reactive carbon steel knife.
Hand wash and towel dry after use. Do not air dry or place in the dishwasher.
Expect oxidation (color change, staining, spotting) with use.
Prolonged exposure to moisture or food debris will cause rust; remove any rust with a light abrasive.
Use only on a quality wooden cutting board.
Do not use on hard surfaces like bamboo or plates.
Don't twist or scrape the edge on the cutting surface to avoid early dulling and edge damage.

Recommended Sharpening Technique

Medium - Western Carbon

We recommend hand sharpening on whetstones to a low-medium finish starting around 400 and progressing to around 1000 grit with a monodiachrome strop finish. Gentle use with steel honing rods work well for as-needed edge maintenance. Avoid pull-through sharpeners and non-water-cooled mechanized sharpening. If you have to use a honing rod to be able to use the knife comfortably, it's time to sharpen the knife.
