# 8 Inch Chef Knife | Full Tang |  Made In - Made In

Made In's Chef Knife is made from professional grade steel in the birthplace of the modern chef knife. Full tang, fully forged, nitrogen-treated. Shop now!

Fully forged in France’s historic knife making region, the Chef Knife is well balanced and holds a sharp edge.

## Description

To craft the world’s best Chef Knife, we began at the birthplace of the world’s first Chef Knife: Thiers, France. Forged by a 5th generation bladesmith and hardened with nitrogen, this Knife combines the utilitarianism of German blades with the precision of Japanese knives.

Instead of being cheaply welded together, all of our Knives are full tang and fully forged, meaning they are crafted from a single rod of stainless steel that extends from tip to handle—resulting in sharper, perfectly balanced blades.

The closest thing to an all-purpose blade, the Chef Knife features a curved blade optimized for the rocking method, a pointed tip for precise cuts, and a stunning Amaranth Wood handle sourced from South America.

### ★★★★★ All the knives you’ll ever need

I upgraded to new ones after 55 years with the knives my wife and I bought when we were engaged. We took care of them . I’m passing them on. The new knives are amazing. I bought a sharpening stone to sharpen them whenever they need it. I love these knives! I fully expect my kids to argue over them when I’m gone.

### ★★★★★ Great starter set !

I love the 8.5" chef, bread , and paring knife set! Asymmetrical bevel tech is fantastic, super sharp, sturdy, light and well balanced. The magnetic knife block is great too! Holds an assortment of shapes and sizes, and you see exactly what you're reaching for any prep job.

### ★★★★★ Great gift choices

My son loves Made In. For the last two years his birthday and Christmas wish was for Made In pans or cutlery. He is always excited to open his gift knowing it is a new Made In product. Thank you Made In for making gift giving so easy.

### ★★★★★ Obsessed with these knives

Great knife, especially if you are comfortable with a whetstone. The bread knife is excellent for crusty bread. Easy to sharpen, great quality. Wouldn't use another brand.
