All 58 on the butcher knives & cleavers shelf

A butcher knife is a blade with a job you can name: separating a primal, trimming a fat cap, breaking a shoulder down into things that fit a pan. The lengths here run from seven inches, which is a trimming size you use with your other hand on the meat, up to eleven and a half, which is a breaking blade you use with your whole arm. Nothing on this page is a general-purpose kitchen knife, and none of it should be your only knife.

A third of the page arrives as a kit rather than a single blade, in three, four, seven, eight or ten pieces, usually in a roll bag with a tie. That format exists because butchery is a session rather than a task: you set out three knives, use all three, and roll them up together. If you are buying for a smoker or a hunting trip, the kits are the better value. If you want one blade to sit in the block beside a chef knife, the ten-inch singles are the ones to look at.

03Asked before ordering

Huusk Butcher Knives: questions

What people ask us about butcher knives before they pick one.

Which do you need, a Huusk butcher knife or a cleaver?

A butcher knife slices and separates. A cleaver chops through. The butcher blade is longer and narrower so it can follow a seam between muscles, and it will chip if you swing it at a bone. The cleaver is short, heavy and blunt-shouldered, and that is what lets it go through a rib.

Do you get a roll bag with a Huusk butcher knife set?

Several do. The kits on this page ship in a roll bag with individual slots and a tie, which is the format that makes sense for knives that travel to a smoker or a camp rather than living in a block.

What blade length do you want in a Huusk butcher knife?

Seven to eight inches for trimming, where you hold the meat with the other hand. Ten to eleven and a half for breaking, where the length lets you draw the whole cut in one stroke instead of sawing. If you only buy one, eight inches is the compromise most people are happy with.
