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.

Get a Grip

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?

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Better than most knives that I have used
I was surprised by the performance of this knife. It was more than I expected for the price points. The material used was exceptional hard and it cut through any material effortlessly. I was able appreciate the balance as well , which is important to me. I liked the straight edge feature which allows me to sharpen it more easily. Looking into getting other sizes to compliment my collection.

Misen always delivers the goods.
I’ve buying Misen products for about 3 years now. I wanted to move to SS high quality cookware and found Misen highly rated at a much more digestible price. I’ve been slowly building our collection and recycling our previous cookware. My wife has loved every piece I’ve bought. The saucier and carbon steel are her go tos.
So I was visiting my oldest daughter who was making my dinner as a thanks for my handyman work at her house and I noticed she was using her daughters play knives to cut vegetables. That hurt me a little so ordered her the Santoku knife along with my favorite kitchen utensils the spoontula, tongs and mixing spatula.
She called me a few days later very excited and grateful. I heard from her a couple more times the following week to reiterate how much this small gesture impacted her daily life cooking for my grandkids. I was very touched but not surprised as working with quality tools makes every task easier.
So thank you Misen for making high quality cookware available at prices that are obtainable to a larger market. Please remember where you started and stoke that fire and please never sell to anyone that doesn’t embrace that vision.
