Key Features and Specifications

This boucher knife boasts a number of exceptional features.

This remarkable thinness allows for precise butchery work, such as trimming and seaming, as well as making it an ideal small vegetable knife. The blade and handle at the heel are shaped to bring full contact with the cutting board, providing a versatile cutting experience akin to a small chef knife. The knife's design, reminiscent of medieval times, is perfect for large cuts, slicing chops, and steaks, making it a valuable tool in any kitchen.
