The Messermeister Custom 8-inch Chef's Knife is the workhorse in every kitchen.

You'll gravitate towards this knife and use it for most of your cutting tasks. 

The 2.2mm blade is engineered to be light, fast, and agile. Its full taper grind allows for featherweight performance without sacrificing strength.

The center of mass is located on the leading edge of the handle for optimal balance.

The raised tang has a 5-degree camber for maximum ergonomic comfort and control.

We also pushed the knife heel forward to keep the sharp bits away from your fingers.
