A Kitchen Staple: The Misen Chefs Knife is the definition of versatility. Perfectly balanced and ultra sharp — this tool will quickly become your new go-to. Replace that old, dull knife-set with one quality blade you'll actually use.Premium Steel: The cooking knife is crafted from AICHI AUS-10 steel which offers a superior balance between long lasting sharpness and durability with 2x the carbon content of some other “premium” knives.Best of Both Worlds: Misen chef's knives combine the best features of both Western and Japanese style blades — making them excel at any cutting task or technique. Slicing, chopping, dicing, all made effortless.Unique Design: A distinctive sloped bolster shape encourages a proper and safer "pinch grip” for better comfort and control. The 8 inch Chef Knife also features a more acute 15 degree angle for a noticeably sharper cutting face.Unmatched Value: We could charge more for our kitchen knives, but that would be wrong. We believe in using the best materials possible and selling directly to you at a fair and honest price.
