What Is a Chef's Knife Used for?

Our Chef’s Knife is perfect for kitchen tasks like dicing, mincing, boning, precision cuts and plenty more. This is a great knife for just about anything home cooks and professional chefs alike are interested in making.

What Material Is a Chef's Knife Made of?

Our Chef Knife is made from X50CrMoV15 Stainless Steel, which helps make ours high quality and maintain a super sharp edge that does not need to be sharpened as often. Lower quality knives you might find at Henkels, Wusthof classic, or shun, feature high carbon, which will have you pulling out your whetstone more often.

What is Asymmetrical Bevel Tech?

Asymmetrical Bevel Tech, or ABT™, is a revolutionary edge geometry that sharpens the knife at a 14° angle on one side and a 4° polished angle on the other. Unlike traditional double-bevel blades, this asymmetrical profile reduces resistance as you cut, allowing the blade to glide through food with twice the sharpness and dramatically smoother, more controlled cuts. And even though the blade is asymmetrical, it's been carefully designed to feel intuitive for both right- and left-handed chefs.

“When you grab those knives and you go to slice or chop, the handle should feel good in your hand. The Made In knives definitely meet that requirement and they also keep their edge, and that’s really really important”

Chef of Mozza, Co-Owner of Mozza Restaurant GroupLos Angeles, CA

“I would say that a good chef knife is one of the most critical tools you can have in the kitchen. Obviously, almost every ingredient you come in contact with you’re going to cut or manipulate in some way.”
