An expertly-crafted professional chef's knife with an 8-inch blade for restaurants and commercial kitchens

This professional chef's knife from Taylor Precision has been made with a semi-polished high-carbon German steel, and has an 8-inch blade (20.3 cm). It has a one-piece, dishwasher-safe handle with no rivets or seams, so you don't have to worry about trapping food or bacteria. It features a contoured-shaped handle which has a nice soft grip and is comfortable in your hand to use throughout your commercial kitchen all day.

It's a well-balanced knife that can be your workhorse in your commercial kitchen: it can chop, dice, slice, and mince, whether you're working with meats or vegetables. A chef knife is sometimes known as a "cook's knife," or a "French Cook" knife — all these terms mean the same thing. Regardless of what it's called, this is by far the most popular style of knife in a restaurant today, and this Taylor chef knife is one of our best sellers because of its quality design, sharp blade, nice handle, and good price point. If you're looking for something a bit fancier, you can check out our Victorinox chef knives.

A dull knife is the single largest cause of injuries in commercial kitchens, and thankfully with this knife's German steel you'll be able to keep it extremely sharp for a long time. Carbon steel can be honed to an extremely fine and lasting edge. And while carbon steel is softer than a stainless steel blade, that actually means it's going to be easier to sharpen and easier to keep sharp longer.
