No idea what it's called but my bro saw this knife at a restaurant in Spain and I think I need one

Desperately. Anybody have an idea where, what, who or how? Thanks!

It's called "la hacha de cocina para filetear."

That looks like it's in the ballpark, Meryl. Nice job! Thanks.

You're welcome! Just call me "Sherlock Sheppard."

The knife looks 20 shades of awesome though. Want!

 

[meryl]

Ha!

roughly translated: filleting axe

 

[marilynfl]

Sherlock, how did you NOT DIE when you jumped from St. Barts???

 

[marilynfl]

Filleting axe? For sardines? Isn't that a bit overkill??

 

[Paul]

contradictory even but I guess there is some method involved.

one of those links had some very unusual looking knives that I'd never seen before.

I've since discovered them referred to as "Rocking Cleavers". I bought a couple on ebay.

Yay - you found it! The blade looks a little different than the one I found,

and just like the one you originally posted about.

 

[angak1]

did anyone else hear the Leave it to Beaver theme just now?

 

[Paul]

that's a lot of knife. what are you going to do with them?

 

[curious1]

Perhaps it's best we don't know.

 

[marilynfl]

Ha. Anyone watching Hannibal? He has 3 chefs in his kitchen...and a lot of knives.

Bet it's great for chopping meat or tough veggies. Might also make a LOVELY wall hanging.
