  • Our take on the Meridian Elite Chef's Knife - 8"

    The Messermeister Meridian Elite is an 8-inch chef's knife with a hand-forged, high-carbon German steel blade ground to a thin profile and a POM handle. It is built as a single all-purpose knife for slicing, chopping and mincing most kitchen prep. Compared with mass-market German knives, it offers a thinner grind and forged construction at a mid-range position; owners rate it highly, though the thin edge needs care and honing.

    Questions and answers

    Is this a good first chef's knife?
    Yes. It covers most slicing, chopping and mincing, so it works well as a single main knife for a home kitchen.

    Hand wash and dry it, and hone it regularly to keep the thin edge sharp.

    The blade is 8 inches, the standard all-purpose chef's knife size.
