Pro Series

Messermeister Pro Series

A favorite of BBQ competitors, fishing guides, hunters, and professional cooks, the Pro Series is built for people who use their knives hard. Stamped from German X50 stainless steel and crafted in Portugal, these knives are NSF-approved for commercial food service and designed for the kind of work that would wreck a delicate kitchen knife.

The details

Pro Series blades are stamped from 1.4116 German stainless steel — the same alloy used in many professional-grade kitchen knives — and heat-treated for a balance of edge retention and flexibility. The 15° edge is sharper than most Western knives and holds up well through extended use. Because these are stamped rather than forged, they're lighter and more flexible than the Meridian Elite line, which makes them particularly well-suited for tasks like filleting fish, breaking down poultry, and carving large cuts.

The handles are black polyfibre TPE — a textured polymer that stays grippy when wet or greasy. That matters when you're standing at an outdoor smoker or processing fish. The handles are NSF certified for commercial food service, and the whole knife cleans up fast. Full tang throughout.

The Pro Series comes in a wide variety of blade shapes, each designed for a specific cutting task. Choose from utility knives, chef's knives, boning knives, fillet knives, bread knives, slicers, carving forks, and cleavers — the breadth of the line is one of its main strengths. Messermeister backs all of them with a lifetime warranty.
