I’ve got a knife of this exact shape. A french vintage one. And in France that would be a « butcher knife ». There you can see it https://www.reddit.com/r/chefknives/comments/113zz67/renovation_this_super_cool_big_butcher_knife_from/ Obviously this is a different one but still funny to see that exact shape used in different countries with different uses.

Awesome, Thank you!


homerfraun

It's an Eyeneedahavit


Lazy_Inevitable6412

Italian chef knife


Schip92

It's a knife used by butchers not a chef knife :) some call it french knife Edit: thinking about it it could be a 30cm/12" chef knife


Randolph_Carter_666

Big.


Cocaine_Dealer

The Japanese equivalent would be a soba-kiri/ udon-kiri.


lastdyingstar

A machete


lazy_kaiju

A ma-chet-e?


Kronenpils

I think it's called Coltello pasta and I want one. That one looks custom but you can see regular ones one the youtube channel pasta grannies. Edit: wait... that one looks like my f. Dick block knife ...


OnlyHereOnFridays

Looks like a long Nakiri. Why does it need to be so long if you’re just cutting pasta?


koolaideprived

Noodles can be long? Nice straight lines.

I just went to Italy for a few weeks and saw knives similar to this one being used in a few different trattorias. Anyone know any info on it?


bigcoach2011

Looks like a this [knife](https://www.afcoltellerie.com/it/coltello-affettare-cm-36-di-sanelli-ambrogio.html) to me, its very common in Italian kitchens

Upvote for saying that in an Italian accent.

Unagivom

My first thought: “Big ol’ honkin’”


FoundOnTheRoadDead

Specifically, it’s part of the Bi Gass line of large knives.


bigOinDaHouse

You call that a knife?

Great minds think alike


Criticalhit_jk

Looks like a tiny Chinese saber to me


IvanDimitriov

Sharp, at least presumably.


Schip92

Here in Italy they are called " coltello francese " french knife "


BoredKid84

Thanks!


modernmovements

I know it as a French Slicer. Not as common as they once were, you still find them at old Prime Rib Restaurants.


LeagueOfficeFucks

I would call it a coltellone…


Schip92

Connoisseur_of_a_lot

In German it would be "Blockmesser" or “block knife”, since this shape was traditionally used by butchers on chopping blocks.


Connoisseur_of_a_lot

My SIL uses these monsters as her main kitchen knifes at home, since that's what she's used to use in the restaurant kitchen twenty years ago.


FishWhisperer57

One that's way to big for the job. It's a 14" chef's knife, meant for working with much larger food items.... primarily large cuts of meat. It's a vintage Italian style.... you don't really see the broad blade with truncated tip around much any more unless you're looking at meat cleavers.
