LK - Team Iceland


Hailing from the rugged landscapes of the North Atlantic, Team Iceland made their bold debut at the World Butchers’ Challenge in Sacramento in 2022. New to the competition, this spirited team quickly captivated audiences and judges alike with their unparalleled focus, masterful skills, and a signature touch of Icelandic creativity. Who could forget their standout creation, ‘Lamb Vader,’ which blended precision craftsmanship with a playful nod to pop culture?

Now preparing for their second appearance, Team Iceland returns stronger and more determined. Building on their Sacramento experience, they aim to showcase even greater artistry and innovation while celebrating Iceland’s rich butchery heritage. All eyes will be on this rising team as they carve their way into the competition’s history once again.
