The blade is free in your hand, so how much fat comes off depends on how steady you are held at the same shallow angle for the length of a whole brisket. Cut a little proud and you leave lumps. Cut a little deep and you are throwing away the meat you paid for. This tool takes the angle out of your hands and gives it to a frame.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eThe frame decides the depth, not your wrist\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLook at the head. Two thick curved arms come off the handle in a wide rounded stirrup, and a straight flat stainless blade is fixed across the gap between their two tips. The arms are the point of the whole thing. They sit down on the surface of the meat and ride along it, and because the blade is held a fixed distance behind them, it physically cannot drop below the line those arms are travelling on.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSo the tool cuts at one depth. You lean on it, you pull, and it takes a wide even sheet off the top. It does not dive when you push harder — pushing harder just presses the arms into the meat. That is a very different feel from a knife, and it is the reason people who are not confident butchers get a tidy result with it on the first pass.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eHow you actually use it\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMeat cold, board dry.\u003c\/strong\u003e A fat cap straight out of the fridge is firm and shaves cleanly. Warm fat smears and drags.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLay the arms flat on the surface\u003c\/strong\u003e and start at the near edge, not at a corner. Both arms want to be in contact before the blade meets anything.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePull in one long stroke\u003c\/strong\u003e with the handle low. The fat lifts away as a broad ribbon ahead of the head. Do not saw it.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOverlap each pass\u003c\/strong\u003e by about a third of the head width, the way you would mowing a lawn, and take a second pass rather than trying to get it all in one.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWhat it is good at, and what it is not\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt is built for broad flat surfaces: the fat cap on a packer brisket, the back fat on a pork loin or belly, the fat on a large roast, skin and surface fat on bigger cuts before they go on the smoker. Anywhere you want to remove a layer rather than make a cut.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt is not a boning knife and it will not replace one. It cannot work into a pocket, follow a bone, get under silverskin or do anything that needs a point, because it has no point and the arms need somewhere flat to ride. Most people who like this tool use it for the bulk of the fat cap and then pick up a knife for the tidy-up around the edges.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv class=\"ge-check\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThree things we are not going to claim.\u003c\/strong\u003e The blade is \u003cem\u003eriveted\u003c\/em\u003e into the head at both ends — it is fixed, not a cartridge, and there is no replacement blade sold for it, so treat the edge it arrives with as the edge it has. Nothing ships with it except the tool itself: no blade cover, no sheath, no spare. And we are not going to put a cut-resistance rating or a steel grade on this page, because the supplier has not documented one and we are not going to invent it. The blade is stainless steel. That is what we can stand behind.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eStore it hanging, not loose in a drawer\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe edge is exposed and it stays exposed — that is the trade for a head this simple. There is an oval hole through the flat end of the handle for exactly this reason. Put it on a hook on a rail or inside a cupboard door and it is out of the way of hands going into a drawer, and the blade is not knocking against everything else in there and dulling itself.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWash it by hand and dry it straight away rather than leaving it wet on a rack. Stainless resists rust, it does not ignore it, and the rivets and the seam where the blade meets the plastic are where standing water sits.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cdl class=\"ge-grid\"\u003e\n\u003cdt\u003eOverall length\u003c\/dt\u003e\n\u003cdd\u003e7 in (17.8 cm)\u003c\/dd\u003e\n\u003cdt\u003eHead width\u003c\/dt\u003e\n\u003cdd\u003e3 in (7.6 cm) across the stirrup\u003c\/dd\u003e\n\u003cdt\u003eBlade\u003c\/dt\u003e\n\u003cdd\u003eStainless steel, straight edge, riveted at both ends — fixed, not user-replaceable\u003c\/dd\u003e\n\u003cdt\u003eHead\u003c\/dt\u003e\n\u003cdd\u003eMolded plastic stirrup, two curved arms acting as the depth guide\u003c\/dd\u003e\n\u003cdt\u003eHandle\u003c\/dt\u003e\n\u003cdd\u003eMolded plastic with ribbed grip section and a hanging hole\u003c\/dd\u003e\n\u003cdt\u003eColor\u003c\/dt\u003e\n\u003cdd\u003eBlack\u003c\/dd\u003e\n\u003cdt\u003eIn the box\u003c\/dt\u003e\n\u003cdd\u003eOne trimmer.
