How to choose the right Butchers Knives

• Match blade length and profile to the main tasks, from breaking down carcasses to fine trimming and portioning.
• Choose high quality stainless steel or similar professional alloys for edge retention and corrosion resistance in busy kitchens.
• Consider handle design and grip, especially for staff working long shifts in butcher shops, restaurants or kebab houses.
• Check compatibility with your existing colour coded knife system to support HACCP and food safety procedures.
• Think about volume of use and select heavier duty models for high throughput sites such as wholesalers or central production kitchens.
• Review brand ranges to standardise across your kitchen for consistent performance and easier staff training.

Care and maintenance

• Wash knives promptly after use with warm, mild detergent and dry thoroughly to prevent corrosion and staining.
• Avoid abrasive pads or harsh chemicals that can damage blade surfaces and handles over time.
• Use professional knife sharpeners or steels regularly to maintain a sharp, safe cutting edge.
• Store knives in dedicated racks, blocks or magnetic strips to protect blades and reduce accident risk.
• Do not leave knives soaking in sinks or stacked with other utensils, as this can chip edges and create hazards.
• Inspect handles and blades routinely for damage and replace any knives that show cracks, deep chips or loose fittings.
