Acimeter orscimitar is a large, curved butcher's knife, with a blade typically between 20 cm (8 in) and 35 cm (14 in) long. It is used primarily for cutting large pieces of meat into retail cuts such as steaks.[1] These knives are available with or without agranton fluted blade.
'Cimeter' is a formerly common variant spelling of 'scimitar', a kind of curved sword.[2][3] The spelling 'cimeter' has become standard for the knife. InThe Book of Mormon, the term "cimeter" is used often to describe a weapon of war.[4]
