We’re coming to the end of another year, and it’s naturally a time for taking stock of everything, and looking at what we might need in the year ahead. That’s as true for butchers as it is for anyone else! Happily, that’s where we can help here at Butchers Equipment Warehouse. We’ve got a wide range of butchers knives and butchers spares that can come in handy, whether they’re being utilised in an independent butchers shop or in a supermarket butchery. Butchers knife sets are particularly helpful items for professionals and casual butchers alike, and we’ve got a great range of them to choose from here at Butchers Equipment Warehouse. If you’re still working out what you might need from our range, below we’ve provided a quick guide to what you can expect to find.

Starter butchers knife packs

As the name suggests, starter knife packs are perfect for anyone who’s just getting started in the profession, whether they’re a junior butcher learning the ropes in a commercial environment, or a hobbyist butcher or amateur chef learning in their own time. Our starter knife packs could even make a good Christmas present for someone teaching themselves at home!

Starter packs contain an impressively varied range of knives and equipment at highly affordable prices, making them by far one of the most economical choices if you’re on a budget. The exact contents can differ between packs, but will generally contain around five or six knives, which can include one of the following:

  • A boning knife
  • A sticking knife
  • A butchers knife
  • A steak knife
  • A round sharpening steel
  • A knife wallet or other container

Here at Butchers Equipment Warehouse, we have a great range to choose from, with ICEL Starter Packs and F Dick Starter Packs available alongside our own Butchers Equipment Warehouse Starter Packs.

Pro butchers knife packs

These are the go-to options for anyone working in an intense, fast-paced commercial environment. For a little more investment, they provide an even wider range of knives to utilise, allowing professional butchers to be prepared for almost any scenario, whether they’re working from an independent high street store, or from behind the counter at a supermarket.

Pro butchers knife packs usually contain many of the same tools as a Starter pack, although they’re more likely to contain several different variants of certain tools - such as flexi curved boning knives, or semi flexi curved boning knives.

The full range of equipment you’ll find in Pro Butchers Knife Packs will generally include:

  • A boning knife
  • A semi flexi curved boning knife
  • A flexi curved boning knife
  • A sticking knife (sometimes combined with a boning knife)
  • A butchers knife
  • A butchers steak knife
  • A butchers cleaver
  • A butchers round steel
  • An empty knife case or canvas knife wallet

Some of the ones we stock here at Butchers Equipment include Victorinox Butchers Pro Packs and Butchers Equipment Warehouse Pro Packs.

Pro Plus butchers knife packs

As you’ve probably guessed, Pro Plus Butchers Knife packs are broadly similar to the regular Pro packs, but often include one or two bits of additional equipment for extra flexibility at the counter. We stock an excellent Pro Plus pack from market-leading manufacturer Victorinox, which features a handy butchers block hand saw, but other inclusions may be available from other manufacturers. Naturally, our Victorinox Pro Plus butchers knife pack also includes a butchers round steel to assist in keeping the blades sharp, as well as a canvas knife wallet so that they can be safely stored when not in use.

Deluxe butchers knife packs

Our Deluxe butchers knife packs are the ultimate in butchers equipment - almost everything you could ever want to cut, slice or prepare meat, all in one handy package, and at great prices too. Deluxe butchers knife packs tend to include anywhere between 10 to 12 butchers knives, cleavers or saws, as well as useful accessories for proper storage and maintenance.

Deluxe Butchers Knife packs generally include most or all of the following:

  • Boning knives (including curved boning knives)
  • Sticking knives
  • Butchers knives
  • Steak knives
  • Cleavers
  • Butchers steels
  • Stainless steel saws

They often have several different variants of the same type of knife, such as Granton Edge Steak Knives, curved boning knives, or combination boning and sticking knives. We stock a range of deluxe butchers knife packs here at Butchers Equipment Warehouse, such as those from leading manufacturers like F Dick and ICEL.

We also carry a wide range of butchers accessories and ancillaries for knives and machinery alike, including spares for butchers mincers and butchers bandsaw blades. You can shop it all right here on our site, and if you have any questions about our full range of butchers knife sets or any other of our products, don’t forget that you can always give us a call on 01254 427761.
