KitchenAid Professional Series Chef Knife

This knife features a German stainless steel blade, which is known for its excellent balance of edge retention and corrosion resistance. The blade is also IceTemp hardened to ensure it maintains a sharp edge through regular kitchen tasks.

Yes, the handle is designed with a symmetrical balance to reduce hand fatigue. It features a Micarta construction with a triple-rivet design, providing a secure, comfortable grip that feels stable even when you are chopping for extended periods.

The blade measures 8 inches in length. This is the standard size for a versatile chef's knife, making it ideal for a wide range of tasks including dicing vegetables, slicing meats, and mincing herbs.

While the stainless steel construction is durable, we recommend hand-washing and drying the knife immediately after use to protect the edge and the handle materials. Avoid putting it in the dishwasher, as high heat and harsh detergents can dull the blade and degrade the handle rivets over time.

The knife weighs 0.50 pounds. It is designed to feel substantial enough to handle tough ingredients without being so heavy that it becomes cumbersome to use for delicate slicing.
