## Description

Named after one of the most famous Gladiators ever to enter the Coliseum, 'The Crixus' chef knife is a specialty blade designed for meat lovers and BBQ enthusiasts. Part chef knife, part cleaver, this hybrid is the go-to tool of choice for those who prep meat, and lots of it! The curved profile allows for clean, perfect slices through flesh, skin, and sinew, while the width and weighted front half let you chop like a cleaver for easy sectioning and portioning. The hole allows for hanging the knife, or store in the included PerfectFit sheath. Poultry, beef, pork, wild game, and even fruits and veggies easily fall prey to this blade, which is versatile enough to handle much more beyond proteins.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: How does this knife go from $35 to $50 and now to $60? It’s too bad, was gonna be my 4th gladiator knife but not after a $25 markup for the same knife**
A: I bought the 12” Knife and already have a great set of knives. It’s worth $100 all day. Very Large knife, superbly made and can be passed on to your children if it’s properly maintained. Impressive that it was once available for $35. The fact that it was once available for $35 doesn’t mean it’s not worth $100. I recall it being cheaper as well, but I didn’t buy one. I regret that I didn’t buy one at the lower price, but am not at all disappointed with the $87 before, a little over $100 after tax, that I paid for this quality knife.

**Q: How thick is the blade for the 12"?. Can I use this to slaughter Pig?9**
A: Thank you for asking. The blade thickness is 3.0MM. And yes, you can use it for slaughtering a pig but for chicken and pork bones we would suggest the Gladiator Series The Ravager Cleaver or the Gladiator Series R The Obliterator Cleaver. And for beef bones, it may need a meat saw.

**Q: Hey Dalstrong - When will this be available again?**
A: no thanks

**Q: When will this be available again?**
A: Yes
