The French Chef knife is known for its iconic style with its classic shape and full-size design. Our French Chef is our personal take on an old favorite, featuring a thin, lightweight blade with an eight-inch cutting edge and a western style handle. This makes our French Chef perfect for slicing roasts or finely dicing and chopping vegetables. Our standard French Chef knife is made with AEB-L stainless steel for high performance and strong edge retention, with a low amount of required maintenance. The standard model also features either a wood or synthetic handle, but this can be changed or upgraded when purchasing a custom kitchen knife.

Please note that no custom-made knife should ever be put in a dishwasher! Custom knives, especially hand-crafted knives, are not dishwasher safe and react poorly to the heat and harmful chemicals in dishwasher detergents. Please remember to hand-wash only with a mild soap and water, then dry as soon as possible. For extra protection you can also apply a light coating of knife wax or coconut oil to the blade and handle, then wipe them clean, which will help protect them and keep them serving you for years to come. This is especially important for knives with wooden handles and/or carbon steel blades. Both wood and steel are porous materials and can and will break down or rust if not properly cared for. Remember, take care of your knife, and it will take care of you.
