With a 9” broad blade and ergonomic design, the Big Chef is ideal for chopping, slicing, and dicing practically anything from vegetables to tough meats. The shape of the blade allows it to rock on the cutting board with ease as it makes each cut. At 13.75” in overall length and a weight of 11.65 ounces, this knife is as comfortable in the hand as it is capable of tasks big and small.

Each Big Chef comes with a molded kydex sleeve for blade protection during storage and safety during travel.
