Description

Finally, a Chef’s Knife that will actually stay sharp. Thanks to our pro-grade AUS-10 Japanese Steel with 2.5x more carbon, this knife is strong enough to easily chop through chicken bones, and delicate enough to slice the softest of breads without smashing.

We've updated our classic Blue and Red colors with a more vibrant finish that will give any kitchen a pop of color with a timeless quality.

“This is the holy grail of inexpensive chef’s knives…That’s right, $94 for a knife that can go head to head with my $180 Misono UX-10 or my $120 Wusthof and come out the other end barely breaking a sweat.” — J. Kenji Lopez-Alt

"...perfectly balanced...premium materials...beautifully designed"

"It's the best knife I've ever used—and it's affordable"

A Knife that Stays Sharper Longer?

Yes, Thanks to Science.

AUS-10 Steel isn’t used in many knives because it’s more expensive. But it has 2.5x more carbon than most other high-end knives. That’s why our knife is more durable and stays sharper longer.

The sloped bolster on the Misen Chef's knife provides more room for your fingers to form a proper "pinch grip".

Anyone Can Claim Their Knife Stays Sharp.

We Prove Ours with Testing.

The Sharpness Longevity Test

A great knife should stay sharp right? No one on our team wanted to volunteer their arms to chop for thousands of hours. So we get some machines to help out.

We’ll Spare You the Technical Jargon.

Here’s Why You’ll Love Cooking with This Knife.

The Misen Chef's Knife has a unique sloped bolster compared to traditional knives.

Your Hands Will Be Safer

We designed our knife to the contours and natural grip of the human hand. A comfortable knife isn’t just more fun to cut with, it’s safer.

You’ll Be Able to Tackle Any Recipe or Challenge

All knives can chop the basics like veggies. But thanks to our flexible, 15- degree blade, you can do everything from breaking down a whole chicken to fileting a fish.

It’s Easy to Care For

Knives that dull faster require constant maintenance, and who has time for that? You’ll enjoy not having to think about sharpening and honing with our knife.

We Get It, Trust Takes Time

Go ahead and Google “Misen Chef's Knife.” We’ve been around for more than seven years and have sold millions of pieces of knifeware. But we know that buying online can feel a little risky. So we make it easier and less stressful.

  • Lifetime Guarantee

    Lifetime Warranty Against Defects

    We stand behind all our knives and offer a lifetime warranty against defects for the life of the knife.

  • 60 Day Test Drive

    60 Day Test Drive

    Trust takes time. Especially over the internet. Try out this knife at home. If you don’t love it - send it back. Zero questions asked.

    Hell, if we could pack it up and take it to UPS for you, we’d do that too.

3 Reasons You Shouldn’t Buy This Knife

Our knife isn’t perfect for everyone. We don’t want anyone to be upset after purchasing our gear. So here are a few reasons to avoid this knife.

Seriously, there must be something worse about your knives compared to Wüsthof? How else can you charge half the price?

We’re also skeptical too of companies that promise the same quality as known brands at half the price. But if you don’t trust us, Google “AUS-10 Steel” and see for yourself. We spent more than over 4 years testing hundreds of knives to build the perfect one at the ideal price. Selling directly means we don’t have to pay big box stores to carry our products. By cutting them out, we can use the same materials and charge 30-50% less!

I’ve never heard of Misen before. Why should I trust you?

We don’t trust websites either. I mean, don’t all of them say their products are incredible? Even if you haven’t heard of us, we’re certainly not new. We’ve been making and selling knives for 10 years. We’re a small but passionate team of pro and home chefs based out of Brooklyn. We started Misen because we love cooking and want to share that joy with anyone and everyone who has to cook. We know good tools make a big difference, but more importantly, you shouldn’t have to pay a lot to get the good stuff. We may be kitchen gear nerds in our souls, but we’re customers who demand great value first and foremost. Give us a try. If you don’t like our knife, just send it back.

Do these knives require special care?

No! We’re pretty busy and designed a knife that actually requires very little care. Because it stays sharp for so long, you really don’t have to do much. Just avoid putting it in the dishwasher and you should be good to go. (But even if you do put it in the dishwasher by accident, don’t worry —- it won’t fall apart).

Don’t Just Take Our Word For It.

Home Cooks Everywhere Have Spoken.

    Chipped

    I have been using this knife for less than a month and the blade is already chipping. I even took the time to hand wash it, which is a task I loathe.

    Best,

    Another fine, QUALTY,affordable product

    The MISEN 6.5" CHEF'S KNIFE, is razor sharp out of the box. Well balanced & easy to use at length, coupled with quality materials & life-time sharpening service, is unsurpassed. This is my FOURTH, limited edition, 'RED HANDLED' knife. I also own a 10" MISEN Carbon Steel skillet & a 9pc MISEN non-stick cookware set. It is months old, & STILL non-stick. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND MISEN products. Their follow up customer service is FANTASTIC.

    I originally bought this knife for home use, but as I work in a professional kitchen, it ended up in my knife bag for work. I absolutely love this knife! It's sharp and it stays sharp! It's my automatic go-to knife!
