Messermeister Avanta Kendrick 8-Inch BBQ Knife
One Knife for BBQ Prep and Carving
The 8-inch profile sits between a traditional chef's knife and a dedicated meat slicer, giving it useful range around the cutting board. It can trim brisket and other meats before cooking, carve roasts after they come off the grill, and handle vegetables and general prep without requiring a separate knife for every task.
The blade is 2.17 inches wide and 2.5 mm thick at the spine, giving it a substantial feel for larger cuts. Full-tang construction, a solid bolster, and a triple-riveted ebony Pakkawood handle provide balance and control, while the black titanium coating adds rust resistance to the German stainless steel blade.

From Our Founder
"This is the knife I'd reach for when I want one blade to handle most of the work around a brisket or roast. It has enough width and weight for serious prep, but the 8-inch length still feels controlled when you're trimming or working at the board."
Tony Boulton, Founder, Design & Grace
