In a hurry? Here are the best products at a glance.
If you know your way around a kitchen or if you’re just trying to up your cooking game, using the best butcher knife will make food prep quicker and easier. But with so many different products available, how do you know which is the best? You read our butcher knives review. We did the research and put together our top picks to help you find the right knife for you. Before we start, let’s look at some features to consider.
Cleaver Style: Most of these are cleaver style but there are a few more traditional butcher knives on our list. They’re all surprisingly versatile and effective so whether you get a cleaver style or not is all down to personal preference.
Length: Most of these knives have a 7 inch blade though we did include a few that are a bit bigger, up to 10 inches. We should note, this is the length of the blade only and doesn’t include the handle.
Blade Material: All of these knives are made with steel, either stainless or high carbon. Both are great for a knife blade but high carbon steel is harder. It holds its edge a little better and lasts a long time.
Dishwasher Safe: Most of these knives are dishwasher safe. That said, most of the manufacturers still recommend hand washing them. It’s a little gentler on the blade and will help it last as long as it can.
Handle Material: Handles vary a bit. They range from Pakka wood to stainless to hardwood but here’s what you need to know. The handle should be comfortable in your hand, have a non-slip grip, and be easy to maneuver.
Warranty: There’s no middle ground with the warranties on these knives. They either don’t off one at all or they come with a lifetime guarantee. The more you invest in your knife, the better the warranty should be.
Now that you know the main things to look for, it’s time to move into our butcher knives review. Here’s how it works. We put our top and budget picks first. That way, if you’re in a hurry, you can get a good idea of the range that’s out there. There are so many great products on this list, though, stick around to the end if you can to see everything we have to offer. Alright, let’s cut to the chase.
