Pros will say that if you only own one knife, it should be a chef’s knife. Because it magically minces the smallest clove of garlic as beautifully as it halves the toughest squash. Some of us, especially those with smaller hands, will be much happier with this slightly smaller take, which is a bit easier to control but every bit as effective. It’s a staff fave. So say it with us: "Yes, chef!"

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.
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.
While most Western-style knives have edge angles of 25 degrees, we use more acute 15 degree angles for a noticeably sharper cutting face.
It really depends on how often you use the knife, and what items you’re cutting. When tested in the rigors of a professional kitchen, the Misen knife outperformed brands that cost 30-50% more. However, no knife — including Misen’s — will stay sharp forever. When the blade starts to dull, we’ll have our expert sharpeners bring it back to its original glory for you, starting at $11/knife.
We already own your 8” chef’s knife, and love it!
That being said, I have arthritis in my hands, and was needing something easier to handle.
I use the 6.5” chef’s knife almost daily, and it has been a game changer for me in the kitchen.
Well done, indeed!
This is all-round knife you want in your hand for almost any chopping task. It's big enough but not too big, sits really nicely in your hand for an excellent cutting motion, and the blade is the quality you expect from Misen.
I absolutely love this knife!
My new favorite knife. Just be enough to do the job.
I love my Misen knives. This one is a little smaller than my big chef’s knife and I know I’m going to use it more. It’s more comfortable with the little bit shorter blade.
