## Description

Introducing Misen Ultimate Chef's Knife. This culinary masterpiece combines the steel and durability of premium knives with functionality designed to be safe and extremely easy to clean. Recognized by culinary experts, this blade is crafted with the precision of Japanese craftsmanship, boasting AICHI AUS-10 steel construction and offers twice the carbon content of standard chef knives such as chef knives imarku. Precision tailored for every task, from complex chop to board presentations, this chef's knife offers unmatched control and perfection. The unique ergonomic design reminiscent of a world chef knife features a slanted bolster that promotes an ideal "pinch grip" and a sharp 15 degree cutting face. Misen commitment to the unwavering quality reflects the essence of a professional chef knife and a Japanese chef knife, ensuring exceptional value without a premium price.

Review: Knife is very well balanced and very ergonomic. Blade came well sharpened and is fantastic to use. Purchased the knife after combing through many reviews saying it was one of the best economical all around professional knives on the market. Also purchased a whetstone but under normal use should not expect to sharpen the blade more than once to twice a year.
Review: I have bought three of these knives now, the very first one we got was perfect out of the box and almost two years later still quite sharp. Decided to buy another two (one as a gift) and both have been a disappointment and came out blunt out of the box. Did not live up to first one we bought.

## Features

- HIGH CARBON VERSATILITY: Professional grade high carbon stainless steel has the strength of carbon, keeping it sharper longer than most knives. Versatile for everyday tasks, such as slicing vegetables and meats with ease, and difficult tasks like fish fillets and soft bread slices
- EXCELLENT CRAFTSMANSHIP FROM JAPANESE - Made of premium AICHI AUS-10 steel, this chef's knife has twice the carbon content compared to other "premium" knives. Experience the superior balance of sharpness retention and unmatched durability
- RAZOR SHARP 15 DEGREE BLADE ANGLE: Unlike other premium knives that set the edge to 20 degrees, Misen has a sharper edge to easily slide the knife through stubborn foods like squashes and onions
- ERGONOMIC SHINE: Our unique beveled bolster not only promotes the ideal "pinch grip" that enhances comfort and control, but also keeps your hands safe from typical knife accidents. The ergonomic shape keeps it comfortable for you to cook all day, while the POM handle is heat resistant and non-slip
- UNMATCHED VALUE AND QUALITY: Misen's commitment is unwavering. We prioritize using the finest materials that resemble professional chef knives, but we believe in providing a direct and fair price

## Questions & Answers

**Q: What makes AUS‑10 steel different?**
A: AUS‑10 has more carbon (about 2.5×) than most high‑end steels, so the blade stays sharper for a much longer time.

**Q: Is this knife dishwasher safe?**
A: No. Like almost all high‑quality knives, it should be hand‑washed and dried immediately after use.

**Q: Does it work for left‑handed users?**
A: Yes. The knife features a 50/50 symmetric grind at 15° per side, making it comfortable for both right- and left‑handed cooks.

**Q: How often do I need to sharpen it?**
A: Thanks to the high‑carbon AUS‑10 steel and Rockwell hardness of 58, the edge stays sharp longer than many other steels. Touch it up occasionally with a honing rod; professional sharpening is only needed a few times per year, depending on usage.

**Q: What’s the sloped bolster for?**
A: It encourages the correct pinch grip and keeps your fingers away from the heel of the blade, making it both comfortable and safer to use.
