Press Release May 2018 For champions of the kitchen and the barbecue: the HEKTOR butcher’s knife from the Red Spirit series Friedr. Dick, the traditional knife manufacturer from Deizisau, is adding another superb and impressive knife to the Red Spirit series: the HEKTOR butcher's knife. Anyone who loves meat will also love HEKTOR. The knife is ideal for cutting larger pieces of meat, fish, and also perfect as a “brisket knife” for the BBQ area. The long curved blade is perfect especially when cutting brisket – namely, beef brisket cooked in hot smoke – because it can achieve a long drawn cut. You can also cut large pieces easily with one fluid stroke of the knife. The Kullenschliff design reduces the amount of food that sticks to the blade. The HEKTOR knife is not only attractive due to its excellent functionality but also because of its clean and impressive construction. The splendid 26 cm long curved blade and its uncompromising sharpness make HEKTOR an indispensable kitchen and barbecue tool. Friedr. Dick cooking and barbecue enthusiasts from all over the world were involved in the naming process through social networking sites. The name “HEKTOR” was finally chosen from over 500 different name suggestions – inspired by the warrior Hector who is well-known from Greek mythology. Hector was a noble and great military leader and therefore one of the strongest warriors in the battle of Troy. Contact: Friedr. Dick GmbH & Co.
