9″ Chef’s Knife – Royale Elité

9″ Stealth Chef’s Knife

In the essence of creating a sharper German chef’s knife, Messermeister has taken their Chef’s Knives and ground the entire blade to a thinner profile. In doing so, they created the thinnest, sharpest Chef’s knife ever. This knife is still made of the finest German steel alloy and it now has a stealth-like profile that makes the elite edge, the sharpest edge of all forged German knives.

The Chef’s Knife, also known as a Cook’s Knife or French Knife, is the most versatile knife in the kitchen and thus the most used blade style by professional chefs. The broad bladed knife has a spine which gradually tapers to the cambered, cutting edge and creates a pointed tip. Because of this geometry, this is the one knife that should be well balanced with weight distributed equally between the handle and the blade. The Chef’s Knife is the flagship of cutlery. The blade is shaped so that it can peel, trim, slice, dice, chop, mince, vegetables, fillet fish, and cut meat. Each part of the knife is designed to perform a different task. It is the flagship of cutlery.

Messermeister Royale Elité combines a beautiful American Walnut Burl handle to a fine German stainless steel alloy blade. Walnut burl features a rich deep brown flared pattern and is prized for its hard, strong characteristic as a handle material. The blade is one piece of hot dropped hammer forged German high carbon stainless steel that has been hand crafted into a fine cutting instrument. This vintage style knife is one of a kind and sure to become a treasured family heirloom.
