Shop now! Fully forged in France’s historic knife making region, the Chef Knife is perfectly 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 hand-finished, slip-resistant polymer handle. Discover why the Chef Knife is an integral part of prep in both restaurant and home kitchens. ## Dimensions - Blade Material: X50CrMoV15 Stainless Steel - Blade Angle: 12.5-Degree Edge Angle - Blade Type: Double Bevel - Blade Length: 8” - Blade Height: 1.96" - Blade Thickness: 2.3 mm - Total Length: 13 1/4” - Weight: 8 oz - Rockwell Scale: 58+ HRC ## Care - Hand Wash Only, Dry Immediately - Sharpen at a 12.5-Degree Angle - [Knife Care Guide](/blogs/knife-tips) ## Shipping, Warranty, and Returns - We offer Free Shipping on all orders over $49 in the contiguous U.S. We also ship internationally to over 200 countries.

They have a nice handle and feel great in your hands. They cut through everything like butter — Tammie ### ★★★★★ Perfect First Professional Knife ​I have been cooking for many years and have completely fallen in love with all of my Made In cookware, so I already knew the quality would be top-notch. I decided to gift the Made In Chef Knife to my nephew, who is a fantastic cook but had never owned a truly professional-grade knife before. ​To say he loves it is an understatement! It is incredibly sharp right out of the box, beautifully balanced, and has completely elevated his prep work. Seeing how much joy it brings him in the kitchen makes it worth every penny. If you are looking to treat a passionate cook in your life (or yourself!), you cannot go wrong with this knife. Highly recommended! — Tay636 ### ★★★★★ Quality knife set My son-in-law loves this gift of knives and the magnetic butcher block to store without damaging the blades. Each knife cuts beautifully. The efficiency of the knives cuts down on prep work so food preparation and cooking is less time consuming. It is an attractive quality set of knives. I’m going to buy a set for myself! — Bonnie ### ★★★★★ They Make Me Look Like I Know What I'm Doing I bought the olive wood knife set because they looked incredible. Thankfully, they cut as well as they look. Every knife feels balanced, razor sharp, and genuinely enjoyable to use. The olive wood handles are beautiful without being flashy, and they've become one of the first things people notice when they're in the kitchen. Five stars. I still dice onions like an amateur, but now I look very confident while doing it. — Greenwater Poolpainters ### ★★★★★ Turns out I like a chefs knife after all! I always thought of myself as just a santuku girl, but this bad boy is actually pretty awesome. It has great balance, feels good in my hand and is super sharp. The olive wood handle is really pretty and looks great on the wall. It makes a chopped salad a breeze. — MG --- URL: https://madeincookware.com/products/8-inch-chef-knife/harbour-blue
