French Chef Knife

The hallmark of the French-style chef knife is its elegantly tapered blade, straighter than its German counterpart, with only a gentle upward curve toward the tip. This shape allows for powerful, clean slicing as well as controlled rocking motions, making it ideal for everything from chopping fine herb to carving roasts. Whether you're dicing vegetables, slicing meat or mincing garlic, this French chef knife brings precision, heritage, and a touch of old-world artistry to your kitchen. 

The B.K. Forge version combines French style blade shape with Japanese style wa handle.

Blade length: ~180\210\240mm
Blade height: ~50mm (edge to spine)
Blade thickness: ~2.5mm (above the heel)
Edge hardness (stainless): 60±1 HRC
Edge hardness (carbon): 61±1 HRC 

Please note, traditional western knives are made thicker and softer than Japanese knives,  if you wish to purchase a knife that aligns with those standards (~3mm thickness and ~55HRC), simply make a note of it in your order for no extra cost.
