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.

    Great product

    This knife is very high quality. The size is perfect for all chopping tasks in the kitchen. I have purchased other knives from Misen and they continue to perform well. They are easy to sharpen and retain an excellent edge.

    Highly recommend!

    Great knife.

    I use it all the time, mainly vegetables. I keep it sharp with a rolling sharpener, maybe twice a year. It holds its edge pretty well.

Why the 6.5" Red AUS-10 Chef's Knife Is Ideal for Everyday Cutting

The 6.5" Chef's Knife is built around AUS-10 Japanese steel, ground to a 15-degree edge that holds sharpness through repeated daily use. Its slightly smaller blade makes it especially well-suited for cooks who prefer a lighter, more nimble feel — ideal for breaking down vegetables, slicing herbs, or portioning boneless proteins where a full 8" knife can feel unwieldy.

Compared to the 8" Chef's Knife, this 6.5" version offers the same AUS-10 steel construction and bolster design in a format that's easier to maneuver on a smaller cutting board or when tackling more delicate prep work. If you'd like the same knife in a different finish, it's also available as the 6.5" Chef's Knife in Gray. All Misen knives come backed by a lifetime warranty against defects, so this is a tool you can depend on for the long haul.
