Warranty

All Misen products come with a lifetime warranty against defects. Misen will replace any defective products. Learn more about our warranty policy here and what's covered.

Pair it with

Basically a Navy Seal

Rust-proof after 100 dishwasher cycles.

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

Works Harder, Stays Sharper

Holds a razor edge through heavy prep.

At 58±2 HRC, ACUTO440 has incredible edge retention without brittleness. That means you can put off sharpening it for longer.

Questions?

What are Misen’s ACUTO440 Knives made of?

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.
What’s the difference between Misen’s ACUTO440 Knives and classic knives?

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.
How are Misen’s ACUTO440 Knives different from other high-carbon knives?

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.
What do you mean by rust-proof?

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.
Can I put Misen’s ACUTO440 Knives in the dishwasher?

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.
How often should I sharpen my knives?

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.
My blade has discoloration and/or staining. What is this?

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.

    I use this every single day

    I have small hands and this knife is the perfect size - it’s the first knife I reach for, I use it at least once per day. I have a larger misen knife from 5 or 6 years ago that’s still in fantastic shape and sharper than it should be for how little i’ve tried to sharpen it. gives me confidence this one will last a long time as well!

    Perfect size and balance

    If you're not interested in working with an 8" chef's knife, this is a wonderful alternative. At 5.5", it's great for small and detailed tasks like deboning chicken.

    Must Have Knife

    You’re shopping Misen because you either know or have heard the quality of their cookware, tools, and knives is exceptionally high quality. Well it is. This knife is one of the examples of an exceptional knife for your kitchen. I practically use it daily, has excellent “hand feel”, and it has been my experience over the years I’ve owned this knife, as well as the others you want for a complete set, that all their knives sharpen it a razor’s edge. So stop procrastinating and buy it, you won’t be sorry.

Why the ACUTO440 5‑Piece Knife Set Elevates Home Cooking

The ACUTO440 5-Piece Knife Set brings together five essential blades — from a chef's knife built for heavy prep down to a paring knife suited for fine detail work — all forged from rust-proof ACUTO440 steel. That steel composition keeps edges sharp through daily use and resists corrosion even with frequent washing, making this set a practical long-term investment for a well-equipped kitchen.

Whether you're breaking down a whole chicken, slicing bread, or peeling fruit, having the right knife for each task makes a real difference in how food cooks and plates. If you're outfitting a smaller kitchen or want to start more modestly, the 3-Piece ACUTO440 Knife Set in White covers the most-reached-for blades. For detail work beyond what the set includes, the standalone ACUTO440 Paring Knife pairs seamlessly with this collection. Every Misen knife comes backed by a lifetime warranty against defects, so you're covered well beyond the first few years of use.
