This is the workhorse of your kitchen, reimagined with timeless style. The 8.5-inch Chef Knife is the ultimate all-rounder, the one knife you will reach for daily. Its classic Western profile features a gentle curve, perfect for "rock-chopping" herbs, slicing proteins, and dicing vegetables with ease.
High-Performance Steel, Classic Feel
At its heart is a high-performance 10Cr15CoMoV steel core, vacuum heat-treated to 60-62 HRC. This hard-cutting core takes a razor-sharp edge and holds it, giving you precise, effortless cuts long after other knives have gone dull. The outer layers of softer steel add durability and corrosion resistance.
The "Retro" series is defined by its stunning, octagonal handle. Crafted from a classic combination of deep red wood and genuine black buffalo horn, it’s designed for an incredibly comfortable, secure grip, giving you confident and precise control over every cut.
