The Eicker 26cm Breaking Knife (Yellow) is a professional German-made butchery knife from the Eicker E1 range. A breaking knife sits between a boner and a butcher knife: long enough at 26cm to work through a side and separate primals in long strokes, but still narrow enough to steer. It is the knife most cutting rooms reach for first when a carcass comes in. The stainless steel blade holds a keen edge in wet conditions, and the yellow E1 handle grips securely through long shifts while supporting HACCP colour coding.
