Knives typically found in a professional butchers set

A butcher’s arsenal will contain a variety of knives that are specifically designed to complete different tasks. To cover all angles, here are the main blades you’ll require:

  • Butchers knife - the bread and butter of a butcher’s arsenal. These knives vary greatly in function and purpose, but they’re a necessity for any butcher, amateur or professional. These knives are designed for butchering and breaking down large pieces of meat with their long and curved blade. The blade length allows for long, smooth slices, while the curve is good for getting under the skin and around bones.
  • Meat cleaver- there to complete the bigger jobs that normal butchers’ knives can’t do. Choppers and meat cleavers are perfect for performing cuts into larger joints, splitting up large pieces of soft bones, and slashing through thick pieces of meat.
  • Boning knife - expertly designed to make short work of separating meat and poultry from the bone, our selection on professional boning knives will help you get the job done quickly.
  • Filleting knife - used for cutting poultry into thin slices, filleting knives are specifically designed to easily remove skin from meat. The design of the filleting knife plays a vital role in ensuring a smooth, clean cut for your produce, particularly when slicing more delicate meats like chicken and fish.
