A dependable knife is integral at any BBQ joint. Over the years I have asked over 255 BBQ Joints nationwide what knives they use (SEE THAT LIST HERE) and below are the top 13 knives from that HUGE list.
What is your favorite or go-to knife? The number one knife on the list is one that I have myself for cutting briskets (which only happens on occassion) but really I use it to cut steaks, bagels, tomatoes, cucumbers or anything that needs to be sliced. It’s a favorite of mine and because of the relatively low price I can replace when the time comes.
Here are the top 13 knives used by BBQ joints as of December 2024.
