What it is?
Pros will say that if you only own one knife, it should be a chef’s knife. Because it magically minces the smallest clove of garlic as beautifully as it halves the toughest squash. Some of us, especially those with smaller hands, will be much happier with this slightly smaller take, which is a bit easier to control but every bit as effective. It’s a staff fave. So say it with us: "Yes, chef!"
We updated our Blue and Red colors in November 2023 with a more vibrant finish that will give any kitchen a pop of color with a timeless quality.
Key Benefits
Premium AUS-10 Steel
- The Chef’s Knife is made with AICHI AUS-10 steel, which offers an even better balance between lasting sharpness and durability with 2x the carbon content of some other “premium” knives.
Unique Sloped Bolster
- Our unique sloped bolster pulls double duty: the sloped shape encourages a proper “pinch grip” for comfort and control, while the bolster’s placement creates better access to the full length of the blade.
15° Blade Angles
- While most Western-style knives have edge angles of 25 degrees, we use more acute 15 degree angles for a noticeably sharper cutting face.
