When searching for quality butchers equipment, whether you’re looking for butchers knives or cleavers, you’ve probably come across the brand known as Icel. This Portuguese butcher equipment company is renowned worldwide for providing a wide range of excellent quality equipment for daily use.

But what makes Icel such a high-quality brand? Here, we’ll go into detail on all you need to know about Icel, and why its equipment stands out from the thousands of other butchers knives and equipment that are on the market today.

The Icel knife quality

Formed in 1945, Icel has been an expert in the industry for a long time, refining its processes to produce the best quality cuts of meat from its blades for use in commercial and household kitchens all around the world.

Many of us believe that knives that cut well are the most important factor when it comes to butchers equipment. Through constantly using new technology and updating its methods, Icel has modernised its processes to ensure its blades are always up to and above industry standards.

These knives are made from sturdy steel to ensure they don’t break under too much wear and tear. Not only does Icel ensure that its blades are high-quality and long-lasting, but it also makes sure that the handles are comfortable enough to use for long periods without fatigue starting to set in.

Ergonomic design is one of the most important factors when Icel design a knife, and it takes into account weight, balance, and overall craftsmanship to ensure its knives complete all butcher tasks with precision and ease. The grip of the knives is also taken into consideration to ensure that they don't fall out of your hands when cutting up meat.

Long-lasting design

When people think of the Icel brand, they often think of the long-lasting quality and durability of their equipment. This is thanks to the manufacturing and quality control process, ensuring that all blades are all long-lasting and provide that razor-sharp edge for longer without too much regular maintenance. You don’t want to spend all your time sharpening your tools!

Icel doesn’t only make its products ideal for a certain task. It has a wide range of products all designed to perform a variety of butchering tasks in the kitchen. Paring, boning and steak knives, as well as cleavers and equipment sets, are all available in the Icel range.

Its wide range ensures you can find something that will be suitable for you whilst providing that signature long-lasting quality that Icel is known for in butcher circles around the world.

Extra cleanliness and hygiene

When dealing with anything food related, cleanliness should be the number one top priority. Because of this, Icel prides itself on creating knives that can be cleaned effortlessly and do not absorb grease easily. As well as this, many of the knives in the Icel range are more resistant to heat than their competitors, making the process of working in hot kitchen environments less of a problem.

Icel knives are also known for their cleaning qualities. Their durability and water resistance helps to ensure marks don’t form on the knives, damaging their superior look due to water wear. This is especially important in an environment where time is of the essence and treating each knife differently when it comes to cleaning isn’t an option.
