Cutter & Co.
Better Tools, Backed for Life.

Cutter & Co is an Australian BBQ knife and accessory brand built around the philosophy of "better tools for better cooking". The full Cutter & Co range spans four knife series (Endeavor, Ranger, Eclipse, Goldsmith) plus complementary BBQ gear: the Grill Mate Blanket, Tucker Tubs prep stations, Temp Tracker thermometer, and a Fire & Smoke BBQ e-book.

The brand is industry-tested, meaning the gear is designed to withstand high-volume, high-pressure professional food preparation. Every knife carries a limited lifetime warranty against manufacturer defects plus a 30-day risk-free money-back guarantee. The brand has accumulated 2,000+ five-star reviews with a 4.8 average rating.

At BBQ Republic we stock the two most popular Ranger Series knives (Serbian 8" and Chef Chopper 6.5") plus the Grill Mate BBQ Blanket which is the brand's bestselling accessory.

Two different knives for two different jobs.

Serbian Knife 8": the all-rounder. Curved Serbian-style chef profile with belly-heavy geometry that creates a rocking motion during chopping. Stainless steel construction (low maintenance, dishwasher friendly), dimple finish that reduces food adhesion during slicing. The 8-inch length handles substantial cutting tasks while staying maneuverable. Pick this if you want one knife that does everything from protein breakdown to vegetable prep.

Chef Chopper 6.5": the detail specialist. Compact chopper profile with high carbon steel construction (sharper edge than stainless, but needs more care). The 6.5-inch length gives concentrated cutting force in a manageable package. Best for rapid vegetable dicing, herb mincing, and protein breakdown where larger knives prove cumbersome. Pick this if you want a precision tool that holds a wickedly sharp edge.

Heuristic: if you only want one Cutter & Co knife, pick the Serbian. If you cook often and want a sharper edge specifically for detail work, the Chef Chopper complements a larger knife perfectly.

The Grill Mate BBQ Blanket is an insulated meat-resting blanket that holds cooked meat at serving temperature for hours after the cook is done. Wrap your finished brisket, pork shoulder, or lamb shoulder in the blanket, drop it in a dry cooler (or on the bench in cool weather), and the blanket holds the meat at 60 to 65°C internal temperature without continuing to cook it.

Why this matters:

Timing flexibility: A brisket that finishes 2 hours before guests arrive is no longer a problem. Wrap it, blanket it, and it is still at serving temperature 4 hours later.

Better internal texture: Long rests in the 60 to 65°C range continue to break down connective tissue and let internal juices redistribute. A 2-hour blanket rest produces measurably more tender brisket than slicing straight off the cooker.

Long-hold serving: For parties and entertaining, the blanket lets you slice and serve over 1-2 hours without the meat going cold.

Method: pull the meat at target probe temperature, wrap in butcher paper or foil, place inside the Grill Mate Blanket, then transfer to a dry cooler or insulated container. Rest for 1 to 4 hours. Slice and serve straight from the wrap.

Both have trade-offs. The decision comes down to how often you cook and how much maintenance you want to do.

Stainless steel (Cutter & Co Serbian Knife): resists rust and corrosion well, dishwasher tolerant, lower maintenance day-to-day. Holds a good edge but does not get quite as sharp as high carbon, and dulls slightly faster. The right pick if you cook regularly but want zero faff with knife care.

High carbon steel (Cutter & Co Chef Chopper): takes a noticeably sharper edge than stainless, holds that edge longer once sharpened, and sharpens more easily. Downside: carbon steel will rust if left wet, so it needs to be dried immediately after washing and never goes in the dishwasher. Develops a natural patina over time that some cooks prize and others find off-putting.

The practical answer for most BBQ cooks: own both. Use the stainless Serbian for general everyday work and the carbon Chef Chopper for the detail tasks where edge sharpness matters most. Both are backed by Cutter & Co's lifetime warranty.

Different steel types need different care routines. Here is the framework that keeps both Cutter & Co knives in factory condition.

For the stainless steel Serbian Knife: hand wash with hot soapy water after use, dry with a tea towel, store in a knife block or magnetic strip. Tolerates occasional dishwasher use but hand-wash extends edge life. Sharpen monthly with a steel or ceramic rod, fully re-sharpen with a whetstone or sharpening service every 6 to 12 months.

For the high carbon steel Chef Chopper: hand wash only, never dishwasher. Dry immediately and thoroughly (carbon steel rusts if left wet). Apply a thin coat of food-grade mineral oil monthly if you do not use the knife regularly. Develops a grey patina over time which is normal and actually protects the blade from further oxidation. Sharpen the same way as stainless but expect to need it less often (carbon holds an edge longer).

Both knives: avoid cutting bones or frozen meat. Use a wood or composite cutting board, never glass or stone. Store with the blade protected from contact with other utensils. The lifetime warranty covers manufacturer defects but not edge damage from misuse, so the right cutting board matters.

Yes. Across the Sydney metro area we offer same-day or next-business-day delivery on Cutter & Co products. Orders dispatch from our Wetherill Park showroom in Sydney's west.

For the rest of Australia, knives and the Grill Mate Blanket ship through our standard parcel service. Knives ship in protective packaging and pair cheaply with other orders. Pair a Cutter & Co knife with charcoal, rubs, a chopping board, or anything else and we will combine the delivery, no extra freight on the second item.

Pickup from the showroom is also available any business day except Tuesday. Handling both knives in person is worth the trip if you are weighing up the Serbian against the Chef Chopper, since the balance and weight of a knife is hard to judge from photos.
