The 8 inch Chef Knife is for those who love only the best. The "Light Sabre" of kitchen knives. "The 8 inch chef knife is all I really need", says Corey Milligan, New West KnifeWorks owner and veteran commercial cook. The 8 inch chef knife is a kitchen knife designed for the professional chef. For that reason, we selected a special high-carbon stainless Japanese steel for their construction. The steel in our kitchen knives have 70% more carbon than a German Wusthof Trident. This blade will take on the finest, sharpest edge of any chef knife you have ever owned. Your kitchen deserves the best kitchen knife.
'As far as the actual cutting and chopping goes, I have never used anything finer.' Mark, EatingCleveland.com Read this review.
'The Chef 8 kept its edge long after I expected it to lose its grip on precision knife work. It is a work horse.'Chef Jim Berman, Cheftalk.com Read this review.
'New West Knifeworks has worked hand in hand with working chefs to produce not only an aesthetically beautiful knife, but also one which holds a great edge and is perfectly balanced. Their Fusionwood Chef 8’ is heavy enough to handle the butchery jobs of a small cleaver but still delicate enough to do fine cuts with precision.' Chef Ben Ford, Ford's Filling Station.
'Puts my old Trident to shame.' Travis Canaday, Home Cook.
'Your knife will now replace my Shun as my prize possession. I know that my colleagues at work will all want to add one of your knives to their collections after they try mine.' Chef James Harrison.
' In case of a fire, and If I have my wits about me, I will try to remember to grab my Fusionwood Chef 8" knife on the way out!' Pat O'Connor, Pontiac, MI
