Our take on the 8 Inch Chef Knife

An 8-inch full-tang chef knife forged in Thiers, France, with a stainless steel blade and a Black ABS or Olive Wood handle. Its asymmetric double bevel — 14° on the front, 4° on the reverse — gives an 18° total cutting angle, sharper than a typical German-style knife. It is rated 4.9 out of 5 from 9,106 ratings. At $15.96 at Amazon as of November 5, 2026, it is the only new price listed, so there is no recent range to compare against.

About the 8 Inch Chef Knife

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 a Black ABS or Olive Wood handle, offering enhanced impact resistance, durability, and a secure grip.

Questions and answers

Is this knife good for beginners?
Yes. It is a single all-purpose 8-inch chef knife that covers most cutting tasks, and the low price makes it a low-risk first good knife.
How is it different from a standard German chef knife?
It uses German-style steel but an 18° total edge angle instead of the usual 20° or more per side, so it cuts sharper but the edge is less rugged.
Can left-handed cooks use it?
Yes. The maker says the asymmetric bevel was designed to feel intuitive for both right- and left-handed users.
How should I sharpen or hone it?
Hone lightly on the reverse side with a rod to maintain the edge, and sharpen at the 14° front angle rather than a steep German angle.
What handle options are there?
It comes with either a Black ABS handle or an Olive Wood handle; both are full tang.
Is $15.96 a good price?
It is the only new price listed as of November 5, 2026, at Amazon, so there is no recent range to compare. For a forged 8-inch chef knife, it is a low price.

At Amazon, for $15.96, as of our latest check.
