Butcher Knives
A quality butcher knife makes processing meat easier, faster, and cleaner, whether you're prepping for a barbecue or breaking down wild game. Explore our collection of butcher knives built for serious slicing.
Why Every Kitchen Requires a Butcher Knife
A butcher knife is an essential tool for anyone who works with large chunks of meat. Whether you are portioning brisket, cutting fat, or breaking down primal cuts, the right knife gives you control and productivity. Williams Food Equipment supplies professional-grade butcher knives for chefs, hunters, and home cooks across Canada.
Picking the Correct Butcher Knife
Butcher knives vary in length and width, from curved cimeter knives for precise cutting to heavy-duty knives built for breaking joints. Short blades are for control in close cuts, and long ones enable you to slip through roasts and ribs as easily as you want. You're able to get blades anywhere from 6" to 14", and the best one is based on your workflow and personal preference.

Sharpness, Care & Materials
High-carbon steel is often used in the majority of butcher knives, which is easy to hone and sharpen. Sharpening steel and occasional honing will keep the edge performing optimally. Having a knife sharpener as part of your inventory will guarantee long-term sharpness.
