Butcher Knives

A Butcher knife is also called a butcher's axe or cleaver. The Butcher knife is specially designed for chopping various cuts of meat, chicken, poultry and bones.

The blade of a butcher knife

The Butcher knife is a large and angular knife that is sharpened at a wide angle. The knife is specially designed for chopping different pieces of meat, chicken and bones. The blade is a bit thicker and wider than a normal knife, making it a bit sturdier and allowing you to chop without damaging the blade. The blade of the butcher knife does not need to be as sharp because you are chopping instead of cutting. The weight of the knife helps in chopping through bones. The blade length is on average between 15 cm and 20 cm.
