Questions, Answered.

Everything worth knowing before your Butcher arrives.

Is the Butcher good for everyday cooking?

Yes. The Butcher is designed as a general-purpose heavy-duty kitchen knife for everyday chopping, slicing, dicing and prep. It works across vegetables, dense produce, boneless proteins and poultry breakdown, with more weight and chopping capability than the Gyuto.

Can the Butcher cut bones?

Yes—but only suitable light poultry and fish bones within the Butcher’s approved intended-use definition. Use controlled chopping strokes. Thick drumstick bones, dense pork or beef bones, large/load-bearing bones, frozen bones and maximum-force bone-cleaver work are outside the approved scope.

What counts as a “light bone”?

Small, relatively thin poultry or fish bones normally encountered during home-kitchen breakdown and portioning. Examples include smaller poultry wing or carcass bones and suitable small fish bones or light fish-spine sections. The cut should not require excessive impact force.

Can I use the Butcher for chicken and poultry?

Yes. Boneless poultry prep, chopping and portioning, separating natural joints, soft cartilage/connective tissue and controlled chopping through suitable light poultry bones are intended uses. Thick leg/drumstick or other dense load-bearing poultry bones are not currently approved.

Can I cut frozen food with it?

No. Avoid frozen meat, frozen food and frozen bones, as well as coconut shell/very hard shells, hard fruit pits, twisting, prying and striking the knife with another object.

What cutting board should I use?

Use a wood or suitable food-grade plastic cutting board. Avoid glass, stone, granite, marble, ceramic and metal cutting surfaces.

How should I care for the blade?

Hand wash promptly, dry immediately and thoroughly, do not soak and do not use a dishwasher. Store the knife dry with the edge protected. Appropriate food-safe protective oil may be used when recommended. The Butcher uses the owner-locked High Carbon Steel Knife standard, so patina, darkening and surface reactivity can develop naturally with use; the blade is also more susceptible to rust if left wet.

What if the knife chips, rusts, breaks or develops a problem?

Nikuya knives are covered by the 1-Year Craft Warranty for qualifying defects in materials or workmanship under normal intended use. Approved light-bone chopping is part of Butcher intended use, so a claim must not be automatically denied merely because a suitable light poultry or fish bone was involved. Rust/chipping/breakage are reviewed based on the circumstances, care and task being performed.

Can I return the knife if I change my mind?

Eligible unused products may be returned within 30 days of delivery when they remain unused, unwashed, unsharpened, unmodified, complete and in resellable condition. Used food-preparation products are not eligible for voluntary change-of-mind returns, while defect, warranty and statutory consumer rights remain unaffected.
