Messermeister Avanta Kendrick BBQ 10″ Slicer Knife

Designed in collaboration with Bennie Kendrick, the Messermeister Avanta Kendrick BBQ 10″ Brisket Slicer is built for the moment the meat takes center stage. The long, rigid 10″ blade pulls cleanly through smoked and roasted meats, prime rib and carved proteins without tearing or compressing, while the scalloped edge handles crusty breads, soft-skinned produce and sandwiches with the same effortless control. The offset ebony Pakkawood handle lifts your hand clear of the board for smooth, safe slicing from first cut to last, and a black titanium coating adds superior rust resistance for demanding indoor and outdoor use.

Founded in 1981 by Bernd and Debbie Dressler, Messermeister has spent more than four decades earning its place in professional and home kitchens alike. Now a women-owned, California-based company with deep German heritage, “messer” meaning knife and “meister” meaning master, the brand is led by Debra Dressler and her daughters Kirsten and Chelcea, continuing a second-generation mission to bring innovation, sustainability and craftsmanship to every blade.
