What Is This Chef Knife Used For?

Hold immortality in your hands. Reserved for only the most courageous of warriors, a Valhalla blade demonstrates your valor and brings glory to your kitchen. The flagship of this valiant series, the 8" chef knife is called to conquer meat and vegetables alike. Forged of 5-layer stainless steel and honed by hand to a razor-sharp 8-12 degrees, this multi-purpose knife has the strength and agility necessary to prepare feasts worthy of heavenly halls.

How To Hold A Chef Knife

A Minute To Learn, A Lifetime To Master

Learning to safely handle your knife increases precision & efficiency in the kitchen. A hammer grip is the simplest & most natural way to hold a knife. Wrap all 5 fingers around the handle, making no contact with the blade. For more dexterity & control, consider the "pinch grip". Wrap your middle, pinky & index finger around the handle. Put your bent index finger on one side of the blade, just ahead of the bolster, with your thumb on the other side "pinching" the blade between your two fingers.

Easy to Care For

Less maintenance so you can spend more time cooking. The Valhalla Series washes up quick with soap and water. Let air dry, or gently wipe off excess water before storing safety in the included PerfectFit sheath. Ideal for protecting your blade both at home and on the go.
