Meet the Carbon Butcher Knife 20cm, a New Zealand‑made workhorse built for serious meat prep and precise, clean slicing.

Why this knife stands out
- 20 cm carbon steel blade with exceptional edge retention — a fine grain structure and a 54–56 RC hardness achieved via a sub-zero quench deliver a sharp, durable edge that holds up under heavy use.
- Flat grind and high‑polish finish — reduced drag, smoother slices, and easier maintenance while resisting corrosion in busy kitchens or on the shop floor.
- Seamless blade joint and safety finger guard — a no‑gap connection that enhances hygiene and gives confident control during long prep sessions.
- Protective blade coating — a fine plastic coat guards moisture during storage and shipping, helping prevent rust before first use.
- 110 mm wooden handle — comfortable, secure grip designed for extended use without fatigue, engineered to withstand daily kitchen or butchery demands.
- New Zealand craftsmanship — built to last with traditional handcrafting and modern heat-treatment, backed by a lifetime guarantee with a personalized serial number.
Real-world use and benefits
In practice, this knife excels when you need decisive, controlled cuts through primal sections, roasts, and large portions. The blade’s rigidity delivers steady progress with less effort, while the generous 20 cm length provides enough reach to slice through bigger portions without tearing. The natural patina that develops over time is normal and protective, signaling years of reliable service.
