Xinzuo B13S 8.5" German High Carbon Steel Chef Knife with Ebony Handles

A chef's knife is one of the most versatile kitchen tools – also making it one of the most popular - and it's a big favorite among both professional chefs and amateur home cooks. The chef knife also tends to be most people's go-to in the kitchen, because you can use it for just about anything. They can be used for chopping, slicing, mincing, and dicing, and you can use a chef's knife with different types of meat as well as vegetables.

This High Carbon Steel Chef knife is a function focused addition to your kitchen. Each knife is made from a High Carbon/Stainless steel blend to help ensure a good balance of corrosion resistance and sharpness.

The blade steel is 1.4116 German Steel or X50CrMoV. This style of steel is vacuum treated to get consistent hardness and durability. Tempered to 56-58 HRC on the Rockwell scale, this steel isn’t as brittle as other options. This makes it more durable in the long run, but it won’t have the physical capability of reaching some of the sharpness levels of knives with harder edges.

The handle is made from a beautiful Ebony wood in a more Western style. The stainless accents are offset by a single copper medallion in the handle. The handles are dehorned for long use without discomfort.

The 8.5 inch blade is a traditional Western-style design. This means it can slice and dice most foods ranging from fruits to meats to chocolates. This knife will be your go-to knife if you do a lot of heavy cooking.

1.4116 German High Carbon/Stainless Steel may not be the ultimate steel for kitchen knives, but with its corrosion resistance, durability and ease of sharpening it is a contender.

This Kitchen Knife is higher quality and better looking than our low prices would indicate. Don’t be afraid to show them off!
