NOTE: We are out of stock of most versions of The Chef Knife until July or August. In its place, we highly recommend The Bunka, which is a shorter version of The Chef but with a different tip, or El Choppo, which can be used for almost anything you use a chef knife for, and more!

Alternatively, The Chef Knife is in-stock and available at two local retailers: Valley Farms Markets (both online & in-person) as well as at Fox Point Farms in Encinitas.

The Chef in 80's CamoCarbon is also available via BladeRunnerOutpost.com beginning in June. 

Blending Japanese tradition with American craftsmanship, The Chef is an 8.5-inch kitchen knife built for precision and performance. It features a thin, high-performance blade and a full-tang interpretation of the classic Japanese Wa handle, designed with clean lines and a subtle taper for comfort and control.

The blade is crafted from AEB-L Swedish stainless steel, heat-treated and cryogenically treated to 61 HRC for exceptional edge retention and durability. With a 0.10-inch spine thickness, 2-inch height at the heel, full distal taper, and a razor-thin 0.010-inch edge geometry, The Chef delivers smooth, effortless cuts in any kitchen.

Available with optional food-safe DLC coating. DLC provides excellent corrosion-resistance, higher scratch & scuff resistance, as well as improved food release.

Proudly designed and made in the USA.
