8" Granton-Edge Chef Knife - Supreme Series (X02)

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ 4.74 Stars (86 reviews)

An 8" chef knife built as the everyday workhorse. The blade is solid German 1.4116 stainless steel, ground to 15° per side and finished with a Granton edge — scalloped dimples along the blade that break suction so slices release cleanly instead of sticking. Full-tang construction through a red wood handle for balance and control. This is the knife you reach for every day: tough, low-maintenance stainless that takes a keen edge and holds up to daily prep.

This is your everyday workhorse, evolved. We took the classic 8-inch Chef Knife—the ultimate all-rounder—and added a Granton edge to make your prep work even smoother. It’s the one knife you’ll reach for daily, designed to glide, not stick.

The "Non-Stick" Blade

Tired of starchy potatoes or wet cucumber slices suction-cupping to your blade? The shallow, scalloped dimples (a "Granton edge") create tiny air pockets between the knife and the food. This dramatically reduces drag and prevents food from sticking, letting you slice, chop, and dice with a smooth, effortless, and uninterrupted rhythm.

A Classic, No-Fuss Workhorse

This blade is crafted from classic German 1.4116 (X50CrMoV15) stainless steel. This is the trusted steel of professional kitchens, loved for its perfect balance of sharpness, durability, and extreme corrosion resistance. It's tough, easy to sharpen, and built to last. The full-tang construction means one solid piece of steel runs from the blade's tip to the handle's end, giving you superior strength and a confident, balanced feel. The classic red wood handle is secured with stainless steel rivets, providing a timeless look and a comfortable, secure grip.

Why The Granton Edge

Slices Release Instead Of Sticking

The scalloped dimples along the blade trap small air pockets between the steel and the food. That breaks the suction that makes potato, cucumber and proteins cling to a flat blade — so slices fall away clean and you move through prep faster. Paired with a fine water-ground 15°-per-side edge, it bites in easily and tracks straight through repeated cuts.

The Steel

German 1.4116 Stainless, Vacuum Heat-Treated

This is a solid German 1.4116 (X50CrMoV15) blade — not Damascus and not clad. It is true monosteel: one proven European stainless, vacuum heat-treated to 56-58 HRC. That hardness is the sweet spot for a daily knife — hard enough to take and hold a keen edge, forgiving enough to re-hone in seconds and shrug off the bumps of real kitchen use. Stainless through and through, so it resists rust and staining far better than a high-carbon blade.

In The Hand

Full Tang, Red Wood Handle

The tang runs the full length of the handle and is set with stainless steel rivets, putting weight back toward your grip for a balanced, controlled feel. At 207g the knife has enough heft to drive through dense veg without feeling clubby. The red wood handle is shaped to sit naturally in a pinch grip. Spine is 2.2mm — a sensible everyday thickness, not a heavy chopper.

FAQs

Is this a Damascus knife?

No. It is honest solid German 1.4116 stainless monosteel — a single proven European steel, not Damascus and not clad. The Granton dimples are a functional food-release edge, not a decorative pattern.

What does the Granton edge actually do?

The scalloped dimples trap air pockets between the blade and the food, breaking the suction that makes slices stick. Potato, cucumber and proteins fall away cleanly instead of clinging, so you prep faster.

How hard is the blade?

It is vacuum heat-treated to 56-58 HRC. That is the practical sweet spot for an everyday knife — keen enough to take a sharp edge, forgiving enough to re-hone quickly and handle daily kitchen use.

Is it made in China?

Yes — it is made in Yangjiang, China's traditional knife-making city, where Xinzuo forges its full range. The steel itself is German 1.4116.

Can I put it in the dishwasher?

No. Hand wash and dry it. The stainless steel resists rust well, but dishwasher detergent and knocks will dull and damage any quality blade.

What is the edge angle?

15±1° per side, finished with a fine water-ground V-grind for a keen, easy-biting edge.

What size is it and who is it for?

An 8" (205mm) blade weighing 207g — the standard all-round chef length. It suits anyone wanting one reliable everyday knife for veg, fruit and boneless proteins.
