Babish High-Carbon German Steel Chef Knife

This durable kitchen workhorse slices and dices its way through piles of veggies or primal cuts of beef with ease. Precision-forged from a single piece of high-carbon German Steel and then tempered and hand-ground for maximum sharpness, this knife is a cut above the rest. The full-tang handle features a grippy yet sleek wrap that provides a balanced and comfortable grip, allowing you to cut with confidence.

With just the right amount of rock and gentle taper, this knife is perfect for heavy chopping and fine slicing, making it an all-purpose essential in any kitchen. However, it's important to note that excessive heat and detergent from automatic dishwashers can damage or stain the blades, so it's best to avoid putting them in the dishwasher. To prevent staining, do not allow the blades to soak in water or let food remain on them after use. Stubborn stains can usually be removed with a standard stainless steel cleanser & polish.

To keep the knives sharp, use a sharpener and honing rod between uses, and consider using a whetstone or having them professionally sharpened once or twice a year. To preserve the sharp edges, always use knives on a wood or soft plastic cutting board, as hard surfaces such as countertops or glass cutting boards will dull the blades. Remember, these knives are not meant to cut bones, frozen foods, or other hard objects.

Show your knife some love, and it will love you back. Handle it with extreme caution to avoid injury, as these knives are extremely sharp. Never use a knife as a can opener, pry bar, screwdriver, wedge, or hand tool. Always keep sharp edges pointed away from you when laying a knife down and never try to catch a falling knife. Keep all knives out of reach of children and store them properly in a knife block, roll, or other safe place.

Forged from a single piece of high-carbon 1.4116 German steel and tempered, taper-ground, and polished for a frightening level of sharpness, this knife is truly a kitchen essential. The full-tang ABS handle provides a balanced and comfortable grip, making it ideal for chopping, slicing, dicing, mincing, and more. Before using it for the first time, remove any tags or stickers, rinse with warm soapy water, and towel dry.
