You can’t top the 9. It's not 8 or 10 inches it's "The 9". This 9 inch chef with its one sided Granton grind, sleek shape, and ultra-thin Damascus forge welded blade make it the top chef knife for the professional and serious home chef alike.
New West is becoming very popular in professional kitchens. The 9 is used by pros in top kitchens like the Four Season's Restaurant in NYC and is becoming popular among students of the French Culinary Institute.
For those who can wield it, this will be the top knife in your kitchen.
