The SharpCraft chef knife is the largest in our chef knife range: an 8.1-inch blade, 2 inches tall, 13.2 inches overall. The size suits bigger hands and batch cooking, where you want to get through a cabbage, a squash or a whole chicken without the blade feeling short. The curved edge rocks through herbs and onions, and the hammered finish across the upper blade keeps food from sticking.

Forged from our 224-layer Damascus steel blend of AISI 5160 high-carbon spring steel and AISI 4340 nickel alloy, 2.8 mm at the spine for strength and agility. The contoured dark wood handle is held by two polished stainless rivets and a copper mosaic pin, with a full tang for balance.
