The Butcher Wolfpack

Keepers of The Golden Knife...

As their team name suggests, this tight-knit group of butchers had perfected their roles in the team and worked together like clockwork to produce a masterful display that would ultimately crown them champions on the world stage at the 2022 World Butchers’ Challenge in Sacramento.

A disciplined bunch, the focus and determination was as evident in their finished display as it was in the faces of each individual member. Ensuring that every element of what makes a good butcher was addressed, the team were one of the most clean and tidy whilst remaining efficient and quick with each job.

With a lineup similar to 2022 and only a few new faces, all eyes are on Germany. The world is eager to see if they can defend their champion status.
