Why are Good Knives so Expensive?
Why are Good Knives so Expensive?
Most high-end cooking tools come with a serious price markup.
While working at Fresh Direct — immersed in a culture that loved cooking and food as a new chef — Misen founder Omar Rada quickly realized that good, quality kitchen tools truly made a difference in his food. When he tried to replace a high-quality $300 pan that a friend had lost, he was blown away by the price tags for quality kitchen tools.
After some research he realized that most high-end cooking tools come with a serious price markup, and shouldn’t actually cost as much as they do.
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.

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.

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.
Our 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.

A Perfectly Sized Knife
Knives come in all sorts of sizes. We found that a slightly smaller blade, was a great alternative to the more traditional 8” blade that some people find too big. This “shorter” Chef’s Knife is comfortable in all hands and perfect for everyone.
Why Exactly 6.8 Inches?
We tested dozens of blade lengths to find the perfect “shorter” Chef’s Knife. All our testers — home chefs, restaurant pros, and even folks who rarely cook — agreed that 6.8 inches was the most comfortable to hold and cut with.

We Could Charge A Lot, But We’d Prefer Not To
We could easily charge $120 for a knife like some other companies based on the quality and design. But $80 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.
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.
