A nimble powerhouse. This Asian-inspired chef's knife offers exceptional balance and control for a wide range of kitchen tasks.

Very happy with the quality and price of my new knife. Looking forward to using it!. Tammy. Cherokee Village, Arkansas. Tue Sep 02 2025

This knife is an Asian-inspired primary knife that's ideal for most meal prep. It features an innovative stamped construction, made from a proprietary stainless steel alloy. But the blades have been made thicker, and sport a deeper dual-bevel edge geometry that makes the knife 10% sharper. The blades are also stronger than previous models and have a bit more weight to them. With sand-filled handles, the knife still feels light in use.

A knife suited primarily for cutting meat. It can also be used as a multi-purpose knife for fruits and vegetables. This knife is heavier than the G Series model.
