The Victorinox 12” Butcher Knife is a serious tool built for professionals and home chefs who demand precision, durability, and efficiency when tackling large cuts of meat. Designed for heavy-duty performance and smooth, controlled slicing, this knife handles everything from portioning primal cuts to trimming roasts with ease. Made in Switzerland by Victorinox, Makers of the Original Swiss Army Knife, it represents generations of expertise combined with the practicality modern kitchens need.
At the core of this knife is a 12” plain edge blade made from Victorinox’s proprietary stainless steel—a high-performance alloy that’s earned a strong reputation for its edge retention, corrosion resistance, and ability to deliver ultra-clean cuts. The blade’s long, straight profile and razor-sharp edge make it ideal for breaking down large cuts of beef, pork, or game, slicing brisket, and separating fat and sinew with speed and precision. It’s a butcher’s workhorse, but also refined enough for chefs who want exacting results.
The satin-finished blade features a slight curve toward the tip, giving you a natural rocking motion when needed and plenty of versatility across different types of proteins. Whether you’re preparing meats for curing, slicing ribs, or trimming bone-in cuts for grilling, the shape and size of this blade give you the reach and power to work efficiently. The hidden tang adds strength to the knife’s core without sacrificing its clean, balanced feel.
With an overall length of 17” and weighing just 8.6 ounces, the Victorinox 12” Butcher Knife is impressively lightweight for its size. That means less strain during long prep sessions and better control for detailed work. The blade’s thin profile glides through meat cleanly, while its rigidity ensures it won’t flex under pressure—perfect for tasks that require both finesse and strength.
The handle is crafted from Victorinox’s trusted black Fibrox material, a high-performance thermoplastic known for its durability, comfort, and slip resistance. Even in wet or greasy environments, the textured surface stays secure in your hand, giving you the confidence to work quickly and safely. Ergonomically designed to reduce fatigue, the handle offers a comfortable, firm grip that feels natural from the first cut to the last.
Whether you’re a professional butcher, chef, or home cook with a passion for working with whole cuts, this knife is built to rise to the challenge. It’s NSF-approved and ready for rigorous daily use, from commercial kitchens to backyard smokehouses.
