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.

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?

How long will this knife stay sharp?

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.
Does this knife require special care?

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.
What are your blades made from?

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.
How can your knife be as good as other high-end knives if it costs so much less?

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.
Does it make sense to buy one knife, and not a set?

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.
How does your warranty and trial work?

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.

    My favorite knife ever

    Misen knives are the best quality i've ever owned, i've been a fan since the original campaign. The smaller size of this knife is the best size and weight for me personally, i'm thrilled to be able to own a top quality knife in the right size for me!

    Very sharp, nice weight

    I’m impressed with this knife. I’ve been using it for a month and it’s very sharp and nice to use as a general purpose knife.

    Well made

    Appropriately sized for smaller chopping or mincing this is a nicely balanced and very sharp knife. The steel is high quality and holds an edge well without being too difficult to sharpen. With proper care this is a lifetime purchase.

Why the Red 6.5‑Inch AUS‑10 Chef’s Knife Excels in Everyday Cooking

The 6.5-inch chef's knife is built for cooks who want the versatility of a full-size chef's knife but with a bit more control and maneuverability. Its AUS-10 Japanese steel holds an edge longer than typical German steel, so you'll spend less time sharpening and more time cooking, while the sloped bolster keeps your grip natural during long prep sessions. It's especially handy for smaller hands or tighter cutting boards.

If you tend toward larger produce, proteins, or bigger batch cooking, the 8-inch chef's knife offers the same steel and edge geometry with more reach. For slicing bread or tomatoes where a straight edge struggles, a serrated knife makes a great companion in the block. And if you're building out a full lineup rather than buying piece by piece, the 7-piece knife set covers most kitchen tasks in one go.

Like any high-carbon knife, it rewards a little care: hand wash, dry immediately, and plan on sharpening every 4-6 months to keep that edge performing.
