8-Inch Chef's Knife
The 8-Inch Chef’s Knife is the workhorse of your kitchen. It’s great for chopping vegetables, slicing meat, or mincing herbs. Our chef’s knife features a blade made from AUS-10 steel, hardened to 60 HRC, which provides excellent edge retention and corrosion resistance. The blade also has a slightly convex grind for improved food release and a rounded spine for comfort. The sloped half bolster and ergonomic handle work well with a variety of grip styles. The knife is balanced at the bolster.

Goldilocks Performance
The not-too-thin, not-too-thick, blade measures 2.5mm at the spine. It glides through food while being able to take a beating. The AUS-10 steel provides better edge retention than commonly used German steels, without being brittle and chip-prone. The blade is sharpened to a keen 12.5 degrees on each side.
Pretty and Practical
Classic knife aesthetics are enhanced with improved ergonomics, designed based on how a hand wraps around a knife handle. A half bolster provides comfort while allowing you to sharpen the knife from tip to heel. The POM handle resists warping and cracking. The AUS-10 steel resists corrosion. The knife is beautiful, but doesn’t need to be babied.
Blade Geometry 101
The blade’s slightly convex grind improves food release for wet and sticky ingredients. The profile of the blade blends German and Japanese styles, and is suitable for both rocking and push-pull cutting motions.
