A Butcher Knife Set Built for Meat, Fish and BBQ

Some jobs need more than a regular kitchen knife: breaking down a brisket, boning a chicken or slicing a rack of ribs straight off the grill. This set of three forged high-carbon steel knives, a cleaver, a boning knife and a slicing knife, is made for exactly that. Each comes with its own leather sheath.

Sound familiar?

When an ordinary kitchen knife is not enough

Thin blades that bend

Tough meat and joints make a thin kitchen knife flex and slip.

Hacking at bones

Without a proper boning knife, meat gets torn instead of cut cleanly from the bone.

Ragged BBQ slices

A short, dull blade drags through smoked meat and ruins the bark.

Nowhere safe to keep them

Big knives loose in a drawer or a bag are a danger to fingers and edges.

Forged in one piece

Strong, sharp and full tang

Each knife is forged from a single 4 mm thick piece of 5Cr15 high-carbon steel, with a hardness of 58 HRC or more. The blades are very sharp and easily cut through tough meat and fish, and handle any deboning task.

They are full-tang knives, great for slicing, chopping, boning and cutting succulent BBQ.

Three knives

One for every cut

Cleaver

The wide, heavy blade chops through meat and is handy for portioning and BBQ prep.

Curved boning knife with its leather sheath

Boning knife

The curved, pointed blade gets close to the bone to separate meat and fish cleanly.

Slicing knife resting on a wooden block

Slicing knife

A long, sharp edge for even slices of roast, brisket and fish.

Dark wenge wood handles with metal rivets

Handle

African wenge wood, comfortable in the hand

The handles are made of imported African wenge wood, a hardwood with excellent strength and hardness. The wood is dark with a distinctive, unique grain, so every set looks a little different.

The knives are well balanced and very comfortable to hold, even during long sessions at the grill or the chopping board.

The three knives with their leather sheaths

Leather sheaths

Each knife has its own sheath

Three leather sheaths protect the blades and your hands in a drawer, in a knife bag or on the way to a barbecue, hunting trip or camping weekend.

Popular with BBQ fans and as a gift

People who cook a lot and do real barbecue use them to make quick work of meat, and many buy the set as a present for a partner or a friend who loves to grill.

Care

How to look after your knives

1. Wash by hand

High-carbon steel should be washed by hand and dried straight away, not left wet or put in the dishwasher.

2. Keep them oiled

A thin film of cooking oil on the blade now and then helps protect high-carbon steel.

3. Store in the sheaths

Put each knife back in its leather sheath to protect the edge and your fingers.
