The butcher’s three: Cleaver, Steak, Boner.
£840.00
Why choose this set
The butchery half of the BBQ ’26 range. Three knives chosen for one job: taking a primal apart and putting it back together as something you can eat. Cleaver for the heavy work, 10″ Butcher’s Steak for the slice, 5″ Boner for the trim. Buy this if you already have good vegetable knives. Or buy it alongside the Charcoal Chief for the full set, the Pit Maestro.
What’s in the set
Classic Cleaver. 16.5cm heavy butcher’s cleaver. Splitting joints, sectioning ribs, dropping through cartilage. The knife in the set that does what nothing else can.
10″ Butcher’s Steak Knife. 25cm long slicer. Clean draws through brisket, picanha, tri-tip, lamb. The knife everyone gathers round for.
5″ Boner. 12.5cm semi-rigid boning knife. Silver skin, fat caps, between the ribs, deboning shoulders. The undersung knife in the set; the one that earns its keep before the cooking starts.
A single engraving carried across all three blades. Included.
The Story
The kitchen versions of these three knives sit on wooden handles, oiled once a year, kept in a block by the hob. Wood is a beautiful material for an indoor blade and an unforgiving one for an outdoor blade. It absorbs moisture, swells, shrinks, splits at the pins, and eventually fails. A cleaver, a slicer and a boner are the three knives in our range that get worked the hardest with the wettest hands and the dirtiest boards, and they are the three that least tolerate a handle that needs babying. Micarta, a phenolic laminate of cotton and linen cured with resin under heat and pressure, doesn’t absorb moisture at all. It was the obvious answer for these three.
Four colourways. Fire Red with Eau-de-Nil liner. Bottle Green with Red. 80s Denim with Lime. Coal Black with Orange. Pick the one you would want to look at every weekend, because once you have these three knives, you will use them every weekend.
The Braai Boss saves 10% against buying the three knives individually.
Performance
CATRA, the global authority on cutlery performance, rank our knives in the top 2.5% of all blades ever assessed for initial sharpness and edge retention. Every blade in this set is hardened in-house to 60 HRC using a nitrogen atmosphere process, taking the steel from 1080°C to -75°C in a controlled cycle that maximises carbide formation, edge stability and corrosion resistance. Each blade is ground to a unique concave profile, a geometry that reduces drag and improves slicing performance without sacrificing rigidity. Each knife is sharpened to 15 degrees per side.
