Want to own a luxury knife without paying the high price tag?

Our name comes from ‘mise en place’ — a culinary term that means “to put in place.” Chefs use the term to describe the process of setting up their stations before service. Misen is an ode to mise en place; better cooking through proper preparation with quality tools.

Our mission is to inspire and enable great cooking, and to us well-made tools are absolutely essential to that.

So whether you’re cooking a dinner party for 12, or a quiet meal at home alone, we hope Misen can help you make your cooking better, starting with an amazing knife at an honest price.

By cutting out retail middlemen and selling directly to customers online, Misen is able to offer incredible tools at an honest price.

Why Misen will be the best knife you've ever owned

Luxury Chef's Knife without the markup

Premium Japanese steel, with a significantly higher percentage of carbon than other "luxury" brands
A sloped bolster that travels gradually onto the blade face and encourages a proper "pinch grip" for better comfort and control.
More acute 15 degree angles for a noticeably sharper cutting face - most Western-style knives use 25 degree angles.

"This is the holy grail of inexpensive chef's knives." -

1. Premium Materials

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 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.

2. Thoughtful Design

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, with a blade that stays sharper longer.

3. Honest Pricing

We could easily charge $150 for a knife like some other companies based on the quality and design. But $65 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.
