No.8 Mincer Knife

This No.8 Mincer Knife is designed to restore clean, accurate cutting performance to any mincer that uses a No.8 head. A sharp, well-fitted knife is essential for producing mince with even texture, reducing smear and preventing strain on the machine.

Made from high-quality steel and shaped to match standard No.8 plates, it seats firmly against the plate and rotates with minimal drag. Whether you’re preparing mince for sausages, burgers or general meat preparation, a new knife helps keep results consistent and extends the life of your equipment.

Ideal as a replacement for worn blades or as a spare kept on hand for busy processing days.
