A chef knife is an all-purpose kitchen knife that chops, dices, minces, and slices. Also called a cook's knife, the heft, weight, and balance of this knife allows it to be used for heavy-duty kitchen work. The shorter 6-inch blade gives you more control over the knife, making the knife accessible to beginners and versatile for experts.

Hammer Stahl knives are made in the tradition of the great German knife makers. These knives are coveted for their razor sharp cutting edge, hand forged quality and quad tang design, which makes them some of the more balanced knives in the world today.
The knives are made from top-quality German X50CrMoV15 high carbon stainless steel, with a Rockwell hardness of 55 - 57 that provides a superior edge and lasting durability. The razor sharp edges are precisely measured by laser for a world-class cutting edge at a 20-degree bevel angle.

The Pakkawood handles have a sloped bolster to provide a comfortable grip are infused with phenolic resin that combines the beautiful look of wood with the durability of plastic. And the quad tang design, with the handle's steel exposed on all four sides, provides exceptional balance and superior comfort.
