High-Carbon German Steel Kitchen Knife Set for Home Cooks

Chef's Knife + Cleaver = Clef. This remarkable hybrid knife seamlessly combines the precision of a chef's knife with the versatility of a cleaver, offering the best of both worlds. With its finely tapered edge and broad surface area, it is ideal for scooping up freshly chopped ingredients. Crafted from a single piece of high-carbon German steel, the knife boasts a sleek, grippy handle that ensures a secure and comfortable grip during use. No matter how you use it, this knife stands above the rest.

To keep your blades in pristine condition, avoid using automatic dishwashers, as excessive heat and detergent can cause damage or staining. It’s important not to soak the blades in water, and remember to remove any food residue after use to prevent stains. Most stains can be easily lifted with a standard stainless steel cleaner and polish. To maintain sharpness, employ a sharpener and honing rod between uses. It is also advisable to sharpen your knives professionally or with a whetstone once or twice a year (detailed sharpening instructions are available below).

To preserve the sharp edges, always use your knives on wooden or soft plastic cutting boards; hard surfaces like countertops, dinner plates, or glass boards can dull the blades. These knives are not designed for cutting bones, frozen items, or extremely hard materials. Treat this knife with care, and it will reward you in return.

Exercise extreme caution, as these knives are incredibly sharp. I’m not exaggerating; I once seriously injured my finger while shooting promotional videos, and I have considerable experience in the kitchen. Avoid using a knife as a can opener, pry bar, screwdriver, or any form of hand tool. Always handle knives by the handle, keeping the sharp edge pointed away when setting them down. Never attempt to catch a falling knife and ensure all knives are kept out of reach from children. Store them safely in a knife block, roll, or another secure location.

Honored as Good Housekeeping's "Standout Knife" of 2022, this knife is forged from a single piece of high-carbon 1.4116 German steel. It is tempered, ground, and polished to achieve utmost sharpness, while the full-tang handle guarantees a balanced and comfortable grip. With its powerful yet precise hybrid design, this knife truly exemplifies culinary excellence.
