“Pleasantly surprised and very happy with the first month of use of the Misen Chef’s knife. The knife has been used for chopping vegetables and cutting various kind of meat every day and it [makes a] tedious job rather effortless and less tiresome.”

“I’m a prep cook. I ordered this knife because I recognized the AUS10 from my days in the weapons industry. This knife is excellent!! And is not to be trifled with! I do mass prep of a multitude of foods daily and this thing really performs beyond my expectations.”

Why are Good Knives so Expensive?

Why are Good Knives so Expensive?

Most high-end cooking tools come with a serious price markup.

At a certain point in our cooking journey, we realized our crappy cookware was holding us back. It wasn’t until we finally got our hands on a great knife and diced an onion within seconds without crying that we had our epiphany — great tools make the job easier, and that’s especially true in the kitchen.

You shouldn't have to choose between cheap, low-quality kitchen tools and overpriced “premium” brands. We hated those options, so we decided to do something better. We make premium cooking tools that are exactly what you’d want, for a price less than you’d expect.

We Could Charge a Lot, But We'd Prefer Not To

We Could Charge a Lot, But We'd Prefer Not To

We could easily charge $150 for a knife like some other companies based on the quality and design. But $94 is fair.

By partnering closely with our factories and selling directly to you online, we’re able to offer incredible cookware at wholesale pricing. Better materials, lower price. It’s a simple maxim that we take seriously at Misen.

The Single Most Important Tool in Your Kitchen

The Single Most Important Tool in Your Kitchen

Invest in a great piece, not an astronomical price tag.

Virtually every chef agrees that a sharp, well-balanced Chef’s Knife is the essential workhorse for any kitchen.

Unlike a cheaper knife, a high-quality knife will stay sharper longer, allow you to cut through anything in the kitchen with ease, last a lifetime, and in general, make cooking easier and more fun.

Point is, it’s a piece worth investing in. The problem has been the astronomical price tag that comes with a great one. Until now.

My previous knife had been pretty mediocre, so a quality one was a revelation. It allowed me to be more versatile and creative in the kitchen. And it was so much fun to use.

Aren't High-End Knives Hard to Care For?

Some are, but not Misen’s. Our hybrid design and premium AUS-10 Japanese steel is known for its durability and ability to hold a sharp edge. That means less maintenance for you.

Our Features

Legend of the top three Misen Chef's Knife features.

Unique Sloped Bolster

Our unique sloped bolster pulls double duty: the sloped shape encourages a proper “pinch grip” for comfort and control, while the bolster’s placement creates better access to the full length of the blade.

Premium AUS-10 Steel

The Chef’s Knife is made with AICHI AUS-10 steel, which offers an even better balance between lasting sharpness and durability with 2X the carbon content of some other “premium” knives.

15° Blade Angle

While most Western-style knives have edge angles of 25 degrees, we use more acute 15 degree angles for a noticeably sharper cutting face.

What Makes a Great Knife?

A great knife should feel good in your hand, stay sharp, and hold up over time to the rigors of your kitchen. Simple, right? But behind these deceptively simple concepts are centuries of tradition, technology, design, and craft.

Stays Sharp & Durable

The knife world is split into two major players: German steel, known for its toughness and durability; and Japanese steel, known for its razor-sharp edge. Rather than pick a side, we opted to cherry pick the best qualities from each to create the ultimate hybrid.

The end result? A knife that stays incredibly sharp, but will also remain durable over the long haul.

Steel & Carbon Balance

Choosing the right steel is a delicate balancing act: too much hardness creates a brittle knife, while too little means a blade will dull fast.

With 2x the carbon content of steel used by some competitors, the AUS-10 steel in our Chef’s Knife is the perfect sweet spot that’ll keep your knife strong and sharp over time.

Handcrafted Down to the Smallest Detail

Handcrafted Down to the Smallest Detail

We spent four years developing this knife because every little detail matters. And partly because we’re a bit insane.

At every step along the way, our knife was hand-tested and refined by professional chefs, avid home cooks, product designers, and people who’ve never even held a knife before. We painstakingly went through 37 different prototypes until we knew we had the perfect knife.

The final result? A knife that’s a pleasure to hold, easy to maneuver, sharp enough to plow through even the toughest foods, and a blade that stays sharper longer.
