Our 8.5" Chef model is inspired by the legendary cutlery of Japan, featuring a thin, hard, high-performance blade and our full-tang interpretation of the classic Japanese 'Wa' handle that features simple, straight lines and a slight taper from back to front. The blade is made from AEB-L Swedish stainless steel, heat-treated to 61 Rockwell hardness w/ cryogenic treatment.

El Choppo was specifically designed with our friends who love to prepare carne asada and pollo asada in mind, but its versatility makes it an excellent all-purpose chef’s knife as well. The generous surface area of the blade is perfect for effortlessly scooping up chopped meats, vegetables, and other ingredients, ensuring a smooth and efficient cooking experience. Crafted from high-performance AEB-L stainless steel and heat treated to 61 HRC, El Choppo offers a long-lasting, razor-sharp edge that excels in both precision and durability, while maintaining exceptional toughness for heavy-duty use in the kitchen. With a 7.5" cutting edge, 3" height, and a spine thickness of .125", El Choppo delivers just the right amount of weight and balance to power through a variety of foods with ease. Its robust construction makes it an ideal partner for a range of kitchen tasks, from dicing to mincing. When paired with our 8.5" Chef or Bunka knife, El Choppo becomes the perfect addition to any kitchen, offering unmatched versatility and performance for both professional chefs and home cooks alike.
