Because it’s got more chromium than standard high-carbon stainless, ACUTO440's rust resistance is a lab result, not a marketing claim.

Questions?

Our ACUTO440 Knives are made with AICHI ACUTO440, an exceptionally corrosion-resistant Japanese high-carbon stainless steel. AICHI ACUTO440 is rust-proof, incredibly durable, and has excellent edge retention. What that means for you: less time cleaning and sharpening, more cooking.

All of our knives are made from high-carbon stainless steel, which is what gives them their razor-sharpness and excellent edge retention. However, our ACUTO440 Knives have a much higher chromium content (about 18%), which makes them significantly more corrosion (aka rust) resistant.

Our ACUTO440 Knives also feature a rounded spine and heel (the back of the knife where the blade meets the bolster), creating a more comfortable grip over long prep sessions.

We wanted our ACUTO440 Knives to be high-performance tools that you could still leave in the sink overnight if you needed to. That’s why our ACUTO440 Knives are made with AICHI ACUTO440, a Japanese high-carbon stainless steel that is more durable and easier to care for than other high-carbon knives, which are prone to rusting and/or chipping without proper care.

Our ACUTO440 Knives are made with AICHI ACUTO440 steel, an exceptionally corrosion-resistant Japanese high-carbon stainless steel. Our knives have been lab-certified to withstand up to 100 dishwasher cycles, as well as 50 days of being submerged in water, without showing any signs of rust.

While our ACUTO440 Knives have been lab-certified to withstand up to 100 dishwasher cycles without showing any signs of rust, we generally recommend hand washing all of your Misen knives. Because our knives are extremely sharp, when they get jostled around in the dishwasher, the blade can cut through the soft materials that make up your dishwasher racks. Dishwashing can also damage your knives if the blade edge bangs against hard objects like flatware or pots and pans during the washing cycle.

Whenever you start to notice your knife is slicing and dicing a little less crisply than usual, it’s time to sharpen. Although our ACUTO440 Knives can go long periods between sharpenings, we generally recommend getting them sharpened about twice a year for best performance. We also recommend regularly using a honing rod between sharpenings to keep your knife edge in good shape.

While our ACUTO440 Knives are rust-proof, all high-carbon knives can experience some discoloration and/or staining with prolonged exposure to acidic foods and/or salt. This is purely cosmetic and is not the same as rust.

Customer Reviews

The Misen x Chef David Rose 8” Chef’s Knife - White is a limited-edition 8-inch chef’s knife engraved with Chef David Rose’s signature design. It uses AICHI ACUTO440 Japanese steel for lasting sharpness and lab-tested rust resistance, plus a hybrid blade shape built for rocking, chopping, drawing, and slicing. For more standalone blades, browse Single Knives.

AICHI ACUTO440 is a high-carbon stainless steel with a higher chromium content than typical high-carbon blades (about 18% is cited on the page). The result is strong corrosion resistance backed by lab testing: the blade is proven to withstand 50 days submerged in water and up to 100 dishwasher cycles without showing signs of rust. The knife is also rated at 58±2 HRC for edge retention, so it can hold a razor edge through heavy prep without being described as brittle on the page.

The geometry is designed around versatility. The hybrid profile supports four core techniques, rocking cuts on herbs, chopping, drawing, and slicing, so you can move from small veg prep to larger tasks (the page calls out everything from herbs to a whole chicken) without switching knives. A rounded, ergonomic spine and bolster are included to reduce pinch-grip finger pressure over long prep sessions, which matters if you spend a lot of time on the board.

Specs can help set expectations for size and feel: the blade length is 8.26 in (210 mm) with a 13.5 in (345 mm) total length, 49 mm blade height, and 0.5 lb (230 g) weight. The grind and edge are 50/50 symmetrical at 14° per side, and the handle material is polyoxymethylene. If you are comparing knife styles across the lineup, the broader kitchen knives category is the quickest way to scan other shapes and use cases.

Care guidance is straightforward: hand wash, dry immediately after use, and sharpen every 4 to 6 months (about twice a year is also mentioned for best performance). The page also flags that high-carbon knives can show discoloration after exposure to acidic foods or salt. That staining is described as cosmetic and different from rust, which is extremely rare with ACUTO440. If you want the same knife with a different look, the page notes identical performance and care in the red colorway.
