An Ode to Japanese Steel

Higher-carbon steel for a longer lasting edge.

Japanese AUS-10 steel has higher carbon than German steel, so you can sharpen less often and cut more easily.

Bolsters that help you hold'em right.

The curved heel guides your fingers into a comfortable pinch grip and away from the blade, making every cut safer.

Questions?

How long will this knife stay sharp?

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.
Does this knife require special care?

Misen high-end knives are extremely easy to care for. Avoid the dishwasher, wash and dry after use, and you’ll never have an issue with your knife.
What are your blades made from?

We craft our Chef’s Knife with premium Japanese AUS-10 high-carbon stainless steel for two main reasons. First, it’s a steel that offers an excellent balance between toughness, durability, and razor sharpness. Second, it has 2x the carbon content of some other “premium” brands, which helps the edge stay noticeably sharper for a longer time.
How can your knife be as good as other high-end knives if it costs so much less?

Most knives cost so much because of traditional retail markups and other fees. You’d be shocked to know how little many well-known “premium” knives actually cost to make. By partnering closely with our factories and selling directly to you online, we’re able to offer an incredible knife at wholesale pricing with absolutely zero markups. Better materials, lower price.
Does it make sense to buy one knife, and not a set?

The single most important tool in your kitchen is the chef’s knife — it’s the workhorse you reach for most often. Investing in one great knife now will change your cooking for life. We actually designed our chef’s knife to replace entire knife sets; with a 15º blade angle and hybrid Japanese/German design, this knife can do 99% of your kitchen cutting.

But if you’re interested in a set, we offer 3- and 5-piece sets including our other knives — including Paring, Serrated, Santoku, and Utility — in addition to the Chef’s Knife.
How does your warranty and trial work?

We’re 100% confident you’ll love your Misen knife. Confident enough to give you a 60-day in-home trial. If for any reason you’re not satisfied, just send it back for a full refund. All Misen knives come with a lifetime warranty against defects. We will replace any defective knives.

    Well made

    Appropriately sized for smaller chopping or mincing this is a nicely balanced and very sharp knife. The steel is high quality and holds an edge well without being too difficult to sharpen. With proper care this is a lifetime purchase.

    Great product

    This knife is very high quality. The size is perfect for all chopping tasks in the kitchen. I have purchased other knives from Misen and they continue to perform well. They are easy to sharpen and retain an excellent edge.

    Highly recommend!

Why the 6.5‑Inch AUS‑10 Chef’s Knife Is Ideal for Everyday Prep

The 6.5-inch chef's knife is built for cooks who want the versatility of a full-size chef's knife with a bit more control. Its shorter blade makes quick work of everyday chopping, slicing, and dicing, while the AUS-10 Japanese steel holds an edge longer than most so you're not sharpening every week. The sloped bolster guides your grip into a natural pinch hold, keeping fingers away from the blade for safer, more precise cuts.

If you find yourself wanting more reach for larger produce or proteins, the 8" Chef's Knife shares the same steel and grind at a longer length. For bread, tomatoes, and other jobs a straight edge struggles with, a 5" Serrated Knife is a smart complement in the block. Either way, hand wash and dry immediately after use to keep the blade in top shape.

Sharpening every 4-6 months will keep this knife performing like new, and Misen's mail-in sharpening service makes upkeep painless when the edge starts to dull. If you'd rather explore the same knife in a different colorway, the 6.5" Chef's Knife in Red offers identical performance in a different look.
