The "workhorse" and must-have knife for any home or professional kitchen, chef knives are designed to perform well at many different kitchen tasks. Our chef knives are center-weighted and balance thinness and precision, with durability and strength. If you only have one knife in your kitchen, this better be it.

Our most popular size with professional and home cooks, the 8.5” blade length is a size most people are familiar with whether they use Western or Japanese style chef knives. The length of the blade can handle larger projects, as easily as it can be used for everyday cutting. You'll appreciate the handmade craftsmanship and beautiful design every time you use it.

Please select all options.

amazing value!!

These knives represent a ridiculous value! TC operates at the intersection of handmade American knives and small batch production. Not made by one person, but in that league with a price point that's hard to beat. lasers...and of course the MB especial G-carta is fire! a purchase you won't regret. Seriously...

As soon as I held the knife. The grip feels fantastic and great comfort and the weight feels delicate to finish any task. This knife design of the shape of the bevel, western style, the handle, and the iconic star looks terrific. Of course straight out of the box it’s very sharp and has a good edge. My only complaint is that after a few uses of small task and cutting a few onions or carving meat and etc is that it’s quick to lose its edge and requires multiple sharpening after each use. On my day off it takes me at least 15 mins to resharpen the knife on a grit whetstone and to perform very sharp and as new. Overall very happy with it. It looks great and feels light 4.5 out of 5 stars
