8 inch Serrated Knife Description

After 10 years of R&D, the next generation of Misen knives is here—and they’re the best knives we’ve ever made. Our new blades are forged from AICHI ACUTO440, an innovative high-carbon stainless steel that’s also (drumroll, please) totally rust-proof. Add a redesigned pinch grip for added comfort, and the same razor-sharpness and edge retention of our bestselling original knives, and you’ve got a pro-quality knife that you can use every day.

Our Serrated Knife 2.0 is one of the “Big Three” knives every home cook needs (in addition to the Chef’s Knife and Paring Knife). We use ours for so much more than slicing bread: Its sharp, rounded serrations glide through the squishiest of tomatoes, tough pineapple skin, delicate layer cakes, and chopped chocolate for baking.

Why The Serrated Knife 2.0 is Great

  • AICHI ACUTO440 Steel: Pro chef-quality Japanese high-carbon stainless steel is hard and durable with great edge retention. (Translation: less sharpening, more cooking.)
  • Rust-Proof (We Tested It!): The blade’s extremely high chromium content (16-18%) means you can cut acidic foods, air-dry, or even run through an accidental dishwasher cycle without a speck of rust.
  • New Ergonomic Rounded Spine - We listened to your feedback and made this our most comfortable knife to hold, even during long prep sessions.

Frequently Asked Questions

What are Misen’s 2.0 knives made of?

Our 2.0 knives are made with AICHI ACUTO440, an exceptionally corrosion-resistant and durable Japanese high-carbon stainless steel that has excellent edge retention. What that means for you: less sharpening, more cooking.

What’s the difference between Misen’s 2.0 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 2.0 knives have a much higher chromium content (about 18%), which makes them significantly more corrosion resistant.

The 2.0 knives also feature a rounded spine and heel (the back of the knife where the blade meets the bolster), creating a more comfortable grip even during long prep sessions.

How are Misen’s 2.0 knives different from other high carbon knives?

Our 2.0 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. We wanted a high-performance knife that you could still leave in the sink overnight if you needed to—and that’s exactly what our 2.0 knives deliver.

What do you mean by rust-proof?

Our 2.0 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 50 dishwasher cycles, as well as 60 days of being submerged in water, without showing any signs of rust.

Can I put Misen knives in the dishwasher?

While our 2.0 knives have been lab-certified to withstand up to 50 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 2.0 knives can go long periods between sharpenings, generally speaking we recommend getting them sharpened about twice a year for maximum cutting ease. We also recommend regularly using a honing rod between sharpenings to keep your knife edge in good shape between sharpenings.

My blade has discoloration and/or staining. What should I do?

While our 2.0 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.
