All the real meat lovers must have a professional butcher knife in their kitchen! No piece of meat nor carcass can resist its solid blade, and you can use it to cut game, poultry, beef and pork with only a few gestures, both quickly and effortlessly, for a perfect result.
The butcher knife: a sturdy and precise blade
If the butcher knife can be used for different tasks in the kitchen, it is particularly efficient when it comes to cutting beautiful pieces of meat!
The blade of a butcher knife measures between 16 and 40 cm: it is up to you to choose the model, depending on your needs and the size of the carcasses you want to work. The most commonly used butcher knives have an intermediate size (20 to 25 cm). the butcher knife is therefore handy while allowing you to work big pieces of meat easily. Its slightly incurved shape recalls that of a chef knife, but you can feel how stronger it is in each one of your gestures.
Made with plastic, metal or wood, the handle of a butcher knife must be easy to use, both firmly and with confidence. The butcher knife must not slip from your fingers when it hits a harder bone.
How to use your butcher knife?
Easy grip
It is important to hold your knife properly when you use it, so as to make efficient and safe gestures. You must feel comfortable and confident when you use the knife. To do so, take the handle with both hands, holding it as closely as possible to the blade, for optimally precise gestures. To control the movements of your knife better, you can place your index finger on the back of the blade or hold it between your thumb and your index.
The different types of cutting
Thanks to the unequalled cutting-edge and resistance of its blade, the butcher knife can cut the biggest meat carcasses with a few simple gestures: game, meat and poultry.
The butcher knife can also mince with precision the meat and fish you have cut beforehand.
