Now I just need to smoke a brisky to see how well it does!

Here it is for those who may want to "Be Like Aaron" :P

It can be found cheaper, I just like using Amazon Prime because a part of the purchase goes to charity via Amazon Smile and I get it in 2 days ;)

In his book, which is a great read btw, he talks about the above knife, even giving the model #. I am pretty sure Dexter owes him some type of kick back for the amount of knives he's selling for them, lol.

Post by: RG on March 19, 2016, 12:57:23 PM: Victorinox makes good knives, I use them all of the time around the house. The brisket knife is a Dexter and it will get it's debut tomorrow! I have a brisket sitting in the fridge that will go on the #3 tonight! I'll post it tomorrow with a review of the knife.

I have the Victorinox granton edge too and still use an electric knife quite often.

You can't beat the Victorinox for slicing bacon if you don't have a slicer though. I have a slicer, but it is a smaller one that requires that I cut my bacon slabs in half verses slicing them with standard bacon sized slices. So, I often just use my Victorinox.
