Custom 8" Chef's Knife
A German steel knife with a modular handle.
Messermeister designed this chef's knife with the center of mass on the leading edge of the handle for optimal balance. With a nearly flat 15° edge that's been hand stropped on a cloth wheel for ultimate sharpness, the German steel blade has been drop-forged to achieve a sky-high hardness level of 58 Rockwell. The handle is precision milled from ultra-sustainable, ultra-durable reclaimed canvas and natural resin, and can easily be swapped out for other handles in Messermeister's "Custom" line—for those who want to personalize their knife collection.
