Kershaw Premier Chef's Knife

PakkaWood is a composite material made of layered wood veneers and resin, offering the natural aesthetic of wood with superior moisture resistance and durability. It provides a warm, non-slip grip that remains comfortable even during long meal prep sessions.

While the 8-inch stainless steel blade is robust, it is designed for precision slicing, dicing, and chopping of standard produce and proteins. You should avoid using it on frozen foods or dense, hard-shelled vegetables to prevent potential chipping of the edge.

The full bolster provides a smooth transition between the blade and the handle, offering a comfortable resting spot for your thumb and forefinger. This design adds weight to the center of the knife, which helps improve balance and control during repetitive cutting motions.

A double-bevel edge is sharpened equally on both sides, making it straightforward to maintain with standard sharpening stones or pull-through sharpeners. It is a versatile edge geometry that works well for both right- and left-handed users.

To preserve the edge and the integrity of the PakkaWood handle, always hand wash the knife with mild soap and dry it immediately. Avoid the dishwasher, as the heat and harsh detergents can dull the blade and cause the wood handle to warp or crack.
