Hedley & Bennett Prep Knife

The 8-inch chef's knife is your primary tool for heavy-duty chopping, slicing, and dicing vegetables or proteins. The smaller 5.6-inch utility knife is designed for more nimble tasks, such as trimming meat, peeling fruits, or detailed prep work where the larger blade might feel cumbersome.

No, these knives are not dishwasher safe. The high-performance Japanese steel requires hand washing and immediate drying to prevent corrosion and maintain the integrity of the edge.

The three-layer Japanese steel construction, featuring an AUS10 core, offers a balance of hardness and durability. This allows the blades to hold a sharp edge longer than standard stainless steel while remaining resilient enough for daily kitchen use.

These knives feature a symmetrical 50/50 grind, meaning the edge is sharpened equally on both sides. This makes them versatile for both right- and left-handed users and straightforward to maintain using standard sharpening stones or honing rods.

These knives are designed to be lightweight, weighing 0.4 lbs and 0.2 lbs respectively. The ergonomic balance is intended to reduce hand fatigue during extended prep sessions, making them feel agile rather than heavy.
