Messermeister BK686-08 kitchen knife

Messermeister Blacksmith 20cm Chef's Knife.

The Messermeister Blacksmith collection is the next generation of knives from Solingen Germany. Each blade is Drop Forged for toughness, then precision ground for lightweight performance and extreme sharpness. The Blacksmith handles are made from hand-polished Ebony Pakkawood for a warm, rich feel. The knife design features multiple control surfaces in the blade and handle giving the user a perfect fit in a variety of grips. Our 8” Chef’s Knife is the workhorse of all kitchen knives, capable of executing 70% of your culinary tasks. The deep hollow-ground blade creates an air gap between the knife and food to prevent slices from sticking to the blade. With this knife, you can chop, slice, dice and mince your way through extended cutting tasks without fatigue.
