Why It Made The List

A barbecue knife at heart, but just as happy slicing cleanly through any kind of meat you throw at it. Designed in collaboration with Bennie Kendrick, the “King of Backyard BBQ,” it brings real pitmaster insight together with Messermeister’s long-standing expertise as globally respected knifesmiths. The long, sharp blade handles brisket, chicken, ribs and roasts with smooth, confident strokes—no hacking required. An exaggerated rocker gives it a distinctive profile and keeps longer cuts flowing, while the black finish adds a bold, industrial edge on the board. Sharp out of the box, good at holding its edge and well balanced thanks to the warm Pakkawood handle, it’s a striking, capable knife from people who know exactly what they’re doing.

N.B. Subject to 18+ age verification on checkout (OneID) and delivery (Royal Mail)

MORE DETAIL

The Avanta Kendrick BBQ Knife is Messermeister’s bold, purpose-built knife designed for barbecue and large cuts of meat.

The knife was designed in collaboration with legendary pitmaster Bennie Kendrick, widely known as the King of Backyard BBQ, whose hands-on experience with live fire and big cuts directly shaped the blade profile and handling.

Named in his honour, it reflects a knife built by people who understand barbecue from the grill up, combining serious cutting performance with a striking, contemporary profile suited to outdoor cooking and everyday kitchen use.

It features an 8 inch blade with an exaggerated rocker profile, allowing long, confident slicing strokes while keeping the tip engaged on the board.

The blade is made from X50CrMoV15 stainless steel, chosen for its balance of edge durability, corrosion resistance and ease of sharpening.

A black, non-reflective finish gives the knife a distinctive, modern look while also helping reduce drag through meat.

Stamped, full-tang construction keeps the knife strong and well balanced without unnecessary weight.

The handle is made from Pakkawood, a resin-infused hardwood composite that’s moisture resistant, durable and shaped for a secure grip.

The handle geometry allows greater sideways torque, giving added control when working through dense cuts and larger joints of meat.
