The F. Granton or Hollow Edge Breaking Knife was designed with a butcher in mind. This knife is used for breaking the primal cuts out of a hanging side of beef. Useful in dressing out wild game like deer and elk. Break knives must be very sharp, durable and resilient as well as having all the necessary safety features, such as an ergonomically shaped handle with finger guard. It must also comply with the hygienic food law requirements. When used in slaughterhouses and cutting plants, functional handles are an absolute must for ergonomic, safe and fatigue-free work. The butcher's knife must sit comfortably and securely in the hand without slipping, as professional knives are in continuous use for hours on end. The finger guard on the handle prevents your hand from accidentally slipping off and coming into contact with the knife blade.
