DESCRIPTION

This is the most important knife in your kitchen. The 8.5-inch Chef Knife is the ultimate all-rounder, the one blade you will reach for day after day. Its classic Western profile features a gentle curve, perfect for "rock-chopping" herbs, slicing proteins, and dicing vegetables with effortless ease.

Performance That Lasts a Lifetime

This blade is built on a high-performance 10Cr15CoMoV steel core, vacuum heat-treated to 60±2 HRC. This means it doesn't just get incredibly sharp—it stays sharp, holding a precision edge far longer than other knives. The core is then wrapped in 67 layers of stunning Damascus steel, creating a blade that is as durable as it is beautiful.

Signature Comfort and Control

A great knife is an extension of your hand. The signature MO series handle is crafted from deep, burnt oak, hand-shaped for a comfortable, secure grip. An elegant red G10 accent ring completes the look, giving you a perfectly balanced tool for confident, all-day prep.
