Product description:
A meat knife from Solingen is exactly the right choice when you want to cut, trim and portion raw meat cleanly. The VOCUT meat knife with its 17.5 cm blade combines precise cutting performance with genuine Solingen craftsmanship and a handle made of pink plastic. You work more calmly, more cleanly and with much more control.
With raw meat you quickly notice whether a knife is really made for the job. A blade that is too thick or dull squashes the meat, tears the fibres and slips on sinew and silver skin. The result: ragged cut surfaces, uneven portions and much more effort. The slim, pointed and stable blade of this meat knife tackles exactly that: it glides cleanly through the fibres and can be guided precisely along sinew and fat. In addition, the blade is polished in the final step. This step takes time and adds cost – which is exactly why many manufacturers skip it. For you, it means a carefully finished blade and a smoother cutting feel.
With the 17.5 cm blade you cut steaks, escalopes and goulash, portion roasts and poultry and cleanly remove sinew, fat and silver skin – known as trimming (German). Set the tip, guide the knife in long, steady strokes and let the blade do the work instead of pressing. This keeps the cut surfaces smooth and the juices in the meat. Learn more about this knife type in the knife glossary under “Fleischmesser” (German) and in the FAQ, for example “What is a meat knife?” (German).
The blade is made of stainless 1.4116 / X50CrMoV15 molybdenum-vanadium knife steel at approx. 58 HRC. This gives you a good balance of cutting performance, stability and everyday practicality. The handle made of pink plastic is non-porous, can be washed in hot water and stays grippy even with wet or greasy hands. The striking colour makes the knife an eye-catcher in the kitchen and at the barbecue – and you can always see it on the board. With an overall length of 31.5 cm and a weight of approx. 195 g, the knife stays easy to control.
VOCUT stands for knives with an honest origin and a personal standard. The brand is led by Orazio Vella from Solingen – shaped by the craft of his father, who worked as an “Ausmacher” (knife finisher) in Solingen’s cutlery industry. Every VOCUT knife is made entirely in Solingen. That is exactly what you get with this meat knife too: not an anonymous mass-produced item, but a well-thought-out tool with Solingen character. Read more about our origin and philosophy on the page Knives from Solingen (German).
Choose between the version with individual laser engraving and the classic version without engraving. With engraving – a name or your logo, for example – every knife can be clearly assigned in a business or team, and as a gift it becomes a personal one-off.

Care instructions:
Wash your knife by hand in hot water after use and dry it immediately. The plastic handle needs no oil.

Frequently asked questions:
What is this meat knife best suited for?
For cutting, trimming and portioning raw meat – steaks, escalopes, goulash, roasts and poultry. The pointed blade removes sinew, fat and silver skin precisely, and the 17.5 cm edge gives clean cuts in one stroke.
What is the difference between a meat knife and a chef’s knife?
A chef’s knife has a wider blade and is an all-rounder for vegetables, herbs and meat. The meat knife is slimmer and more pointed – so you get along sinew and bone more easily and trim more precisely. More: chef’s knife in the glossary (German)
Can I cut through bones with the meat knife?
No. You cut along the bone with a meat knife, not through it – that would damage the edge. For bones and joints, a heavy cleaver is the right choice. More: What is a cleaver? (German)
Can VOCUT resharpen this knife?
Yes. This knife is not forged – so VOCUT resharpens it in Solingen for a fee per knife. The free resharpening service only applies to forged VOCUT knives. In between, keep the edge in shape with a honing steel. More: Knife sharpening service (German) and Which knives does the resharpening service cover? (German)
Can the knife go in the dishwasher?
The plastic handle usually withstands the dishwasher. For sharpness, hand washing is still better, because the edge can knock against crockery and cutlery in the machine and detergents attack the blade. More: Can a knife with a plastic handle go in the dishwasher? (German)
Can I have the knife engraved with a name or logo?
Yes. Choose the version with laser engraving and enter your text. For a logo engraving, enter “Logo folgt per E-Mail” and send the logo by e-mail after ordering. This way every knife can be clearly assigned in a business or team. More: How does individual laser engraving work at VOCUT? (German)
Who is this meat knife the right choice for?
For anyone who regularly trims meat themselves – for Sunday lunch, at the barbecue or in a professional kitchen – and values clean cuts, good control and genuine Solingen origin.
