#12 Mincer Knife

This No.12 Mincer Knife is made to keep your mincer performing at its best. A sharp knife is essential for producing mince with a clean texture, preventing the meat from smearing and reducing the effort placed on the machine.

Made from quality steel and sized precisely to suit No.12 heads, the knife seats firmly against the plate so the cutting edges meet correctly with every rotation. Whether you’re preparing mince for sausages, burgers or portioning meat for the freezer, a well-maintained knife ensures smooth operation and dependable results.

Ideal for replacing worn blades or keeping a spare on hand during busy processing periods.
