Messermeister Custom Micarta 8" Chef's Knife

The Messermeister Custom Chef's Knife is the workhorse in every kitchen. You'll gravitate towards this knife and find yourself using it for most of your cutting tasks. The 2.2mm blade is engineered to be light, fast and agile with a full-taper grind for featherweight performance without sacrificing strength. The center of mass is located on the leading edge of the handle for optimal balance. The raised tang has a 5° camber for maximum ergonomic comfort and control. Messermeister pushed the heal of the knife forward to keep the sharp bits away from your fingers.

After 40 years of making staple lines of German knives, Messermeister went back to the drawing board to reinvent the way German knives are made. After two years of development, the result is the new Messermeister Custom line and it's a game-changer. This new knife line is a modern take on the classic triple-rivet, full-tang German design.
