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.

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.

    Very good

    I’m not a professional chef, just a retired woman trying to learn to cook better. This is my first misen knife but I love it and would like another one for smaller items.

Why the AUS-10 White Chef’s Knife Excels in Everyday Cooking

The Misen 8" Chef's Knife is built around AICHI AUS-10 Japanese high-carbon stainless steel, which delivers a razor-sharp 15° edge that holds up significantly longer between sharpenings than knives made with lower-carbon steel. The hybrid blade shape supports rocking, chopping, drawing, and slicing — making it the one knife that handles the vast majority of everyday kitchen tasks, from mincing herbs to breaking down a whole chicken. The ergonomic sloped bolster naturally guides your fingers into a safe pinch grip, reducing fatigue during longer prep sessions.

At 8 inches and just half a pound, this knife strikes a comfortable balance between reach and control for most home cooks. The POM handle resists moisture and is easy to clean — just hand wash, dry immediately, and the knife will serve you for years. Misen also offers mail-in sharpening starting at $11 per knife when the edge eventually needs refreshing. If you prefer a shorter blade for tighter tasks, the 6.5" Chef's Knife (AUS-10) offers the same steel and geometry in a more compact form. For a complete kitchen setup, the 7-Piece Knife Set pairs this chef's knife with complementary blades including a serrated knife and boning knife.
