The 8” Chef Knife is the most versatile blade in the kitchen, built for slicing, dicing, and chopping with ease. Forged in Thiers, France, by a 5th-generation bladesmith, this knife combines the durability of German steel with the razor-sharp precision of Japanese blades.
This blade features an asymmetric double bevel with a 14° primary micro bevel on the front and a 4° polishing bevel on the reverse—resulting in a total cutting angle of just 18°. The result? Twice the sharpness, less maintenance, and effortless cutting power.
Unlike standard knives that dull unevenly, the optimized edge geometry keeps this blade sharper for longer, requiring just a few strokes of a honing rod on the reverse side for maintenance. And even though the blade is asymmetrical, it's been carefully designed to feel intuitive for both right- and left-handed chefs.
Crafted with a full tang, fully forged construction, this knife is finished with Olive Wood handle, offering enhanced impact resistance, durability, and a secure grip.

- ABT knives can be sharpened like any other knife. The knives have a particularly fine sharpened edge. They can be maintained like any traditional knife with a good quality steel or diamond sharpening steel, or water stones designed for sharpening knife blades. For ease and perfect results, we recommend sharpening only the opposite side of the visible cutting edge (back side for a right-handed person) by applying a shallow angle.
