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 20 cm blade combines precise cutting performance with genuine Solingen craftsmanship and a handle made of olive wood. 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 20 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. 56–58 HRC. This gives you a good balance of cutting performance, stability and everyday practicality. The handle made of Italian olive wood feels pleasantly warm in the hand, and its natural grain makes every knife unique. With an overall length of 34 cm, a blade thickness of 3 mm and a weight of approx. 125 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, your meat knife becomes a personal one-off – ideal as a gift for home cooks, barbecue fans and food lovers.

Please check your requested text carefully before ordering: We engrave exactly what you enter. The laser engraving is placed on the back of the knife. Its position is fixed and cannot be freely selected. Individually engraved products cannot be exchanged.
Care instructions:
Wash your knife with a soft sponge, warm water and a little washing-up liquid. Dry the blade and handle immediately. Do not put the knife in the dishwasher or leave it soaking in washing-up water. Occasionally apply a little olive oil to the olive wood handle and avoid prolonged exposure to heat or cold. Ideally cut on a wooden or plastic board (German) – it protects the edge.

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 20 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)
How do I care for the knife and the olive wood handle?
Wash the knife by hand, dry it immediately and occasionally treat the handle with a little olive oil. This keeps the wood supple and preserves its beautiful grain. The knife does not belong in the dishwasher.
Is this meat knife a good gift?
Yes, very much so. A meat knife from Solingen with an olive wood handle is a high-quality gift for home cooks, barbecue fans and food lovers. With the optional laser engraving – a name or a date, for example – it becomes a personal keepsake. Alternatively, choose the classic version without engraving. 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.
