Learn About Professional Butcher Knives
Professional butcher knives are made for butchers, hunters, home cooks and professional chefs. Made with a long and curved blade, they help break down large pieces of meat. We have a large selection from Dexter, F. Dick, Victorinox and Zwilling. Our options range from more budget-friendly options to high-quality butcher knives.
We have multiple blade sizes- from 6” to 14” and offer multiple handle options. We have riveted handles, plastic handles and wood handles. Our options include plastic handles with a non-slip grip.
Our selection includes various blade types. We have pointed tip blades, more rounded tips and thin blades. We have options of Granton edges. This edge has hollows that help prevent wet ingredients from sticking to the knife. This edge helps ease meat prep.
Keep knives sharp with a cutting board that prevents dulling. Our Cutting Board Buying Guide will help with your decision. Although, we do have a collection of knife sharpeners to keep the butcher knife blade like-new.

What knife is best for cutting meat?
The best knife for cutting meat depends on whether the meat is raw or cooked and what type of meat (or poultry or fish).
Why do butcher knives have holes?
The hole in the top corner of the blade on some butcher knives was to give the butcher a place to safely hang the knife when not in use - more common in times long passed. Many knife manufacturers have kept the hole for tradition.

A breaking knife is a type of butcher knife. A breaking knife has a long curved blade that is used to break down large pieces of meat. A butcher knife can be the same shaped blade as a breaking knife but can also have a wide blade.
