Our take on the French Chef

The Rada French Chef is a chef's-style knife with a broad blade made for rocking through herbs, onions and nuts. The blade is surgical-grade T420 high-carbon stainless steel, hand-sharpened and hollow ground so the edge stays keen with occasional at-home touch-ups. The offset handle lifts your knuckles clear of the cutting board, which helps when you chop fast. It is a simple, light knife for home cooks who want an easy-to-maintain rocker rather than a heavy forged chef's knife.

About the French Chef

The French Chef is an 8½-inch chef's knife with a large cutting surface shaped for rocking the blade back and forth. This makes dicing vegetables and mincing fresh herbs easier. The flat of the blade can also be used to smash garlic and carry it from the cutting board to a bowl or pan.

The blade is made from surgical-quality T420 high-carbon stainless steel. It is hand-sharpened and hollow ground to keep a sharp edge. The non-serrated blade can be resharpened at home when needed.

The offset handle keeps your knuckles clear of the cutting board. It comes with a silver or black handle. The silver handle is cast brushed aluminum with a satin finish. The black handle is molded resin.
