A great Chef’s Knife is literally the most essential tool for any cook — so they set out to create the perfect one. Working side by side with pro chefs, they designed this knife to expertly take on any task, then relentlessly tested it to ensure it holds up to the rigors of even the toughest kitchens (and most demanding chefs). From the three-layer japanese steel to every curve of the handle, no detail was overlooked. After countless prototypes and revisions, this is the result. The blade length measures 8 in. / 200 mm, and the total length is 12.8 in. / 324 mm.
