It’s precision-forged form a single piece of high-carbon German Steel, then tempered and hand-ground for maximum sharpness. The full-tang handle features a grippy yet sleek wrap that provides a balanced, comfortable grip so you can cut with more confidence. With just the right amount of rock and gentle taper, this knife is perfect for both heavy chopping and fine slicing, making it a perfect all-purpose knife any way you slice it. Excess heat and detergent from automatic dishwashers can damage or stain the blades, so dishwashers are not recommended. Do not allow blades to soak in water. Do not allow food to remain on blade after use, as this may cause stains. In most cases, persistent stains can be easily removed with a standard stainless steel cleanser & polish. Use a sharpener and honing rod between uses to keep knives sharp. It’s recommended to use a whetstone or have your knives professionally sharpened once or twice a year. (See more sharpening instructions below.) To preserve sharp edges, use knives on a wood or soft plastic cutting board. Hard surfaces such as countertops, dinner plates, or glass cutting boards will dull blades. Knives are not made to cut bones, frozen foods, or other hard objects. Love this knife and it will love you back. Use extreme caution to protect against injury. These knives are extremely sharp. Never use a knife as a can opener, pry bar, screwdriver, wedge, or hand tool. Never handle a knife by the blade. Keep sharp edges pointed away from you when laying a knife down. Never attempt to catch a falling knife. Keep all knives away from children. Store properly in a knife block, roll, or other safe place. Review: Incredible knife for the amazing price. - If you're a fan of the YouTube creator making these tools, I doubt that you need to hear my opinion on this but if you are not familiar with the creator who makes these tools then this review is for you. The knife is CRAZY quality for the price. He really COOKED (good one huh) with these knives. The handle is such a fantastic shape that fits in your hand nicely. The blade is large, sharp, and will keep its edge for quite a while. Completely easy to clean and dishwasher safe. Being high-carbon German steel, its made of about the same stuff that Wusthof knives are made of, which means it will last you quite a while. A quality knife is not based on how sharp it is out of the box, its how sharp it remains in 6 months and having quite a few of Babish's knives already, I can attest to the fact that they wont need to be sharpened but once a year. Incredible product, appears to me that years of research went into the creation of the knife. Review: Very High Quality, Dramatically Low Price - By Bill Marsano, independent product tester and home cook. Anyone interested in value for money should consider this knife for its high quality, Japanese style (although it’s made in China) and impressively low price. I bought one for myself and another, later, as a gift. Both arrived very sharp out of the box and have stood up well to use by conscientious home cooks. (I have since bought and been pleased by Babish’s “Clef” and Santoku.) All are made from 1.4116 stainless steel, one of the cutlery industry's standard steels because of its stain-resistance, durability and ease of cleaning and honing. Edge retention is very good—treated well, the knives will stay sharp far longer that ‘bargain’ blades made of softer steel. Please note: a couple of fear-mongering reviews claim that the knife is dangerous because it is so sharp and has no bolster. This is ignorant nonsense. First, if you have used only very dull knives, you will need to go slowly with this or any other sharp knife. Second, the heel (back end) of the blade is perpendicular to the cutting edge, so your hand cannot slide forward onto the cutting edge--period. Bolsters may aid balance or be relics of earlier forging technology, but they are in no way safety features. No Japanese knives have bolsters because they interfere with sharpening and prevent use of the pull-cut technique. (Zwilling, Wusthof and other leading brands offer both bolster and no-bolster models). To keep your knife sharp, use a “steel” or “butcher’s steel” (a.k.a. “honing rod”). A good steel (not ceramic or diamond-coated but all steel) will cost more than the knife (See desertcart’s 12” Zwillings) but will save many times its cost (and inconvenience) in professional sharpening. Learn to use it from your butcher and some online videos, and use it OFTEN.—Mr. Marsano steels his knives after every use. None has ever been sharpened and some are a decade old. He uses only no-bolster knives and still has all the fingers he was born with. ## Features - Forged from a single piece of high-carbon 1.4116 German steel - Tempered, taper-ground, and polished for a frightening level of sharpness - Full-tang ABS handle provides a balanced, comfortable grip - All-purpose knife ideal for chopping, slicing, dicing, mincing and more - Before first use, remove any tags or stickers. Rinse with warm soapy water and towel dry. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B08WJS3KVB | | Best Sellers Rank | #23,960 in Kitchen & Dining ( See Top 100 in Kitchen & Dining ) #67 in Chef's Knives | | Blade Color | Silver | | Blade Edge | Plain | | Blade Material | High Carbon Steel | | Blade Material Type | High Carbon Steel | | Brand | Babish | | Brand Name | Babish | | Color | Stainless Blade/Black ABS Handle | | Construction Type | Forged | | Customer Reviews | 4.7 out of 5 stars 3,214 Reviews | | Global Trade Identification Number | 00085081544742 | | Handle Material | Stainless Steel , Abs Handle, Steel | | Included Components | 8IN German Stainless Steel Chef Knife | | Is the item dishwasher safe? | No | | Item Length | 12 Inches | | Item Type Name | Babish Cutlery | | Item Weight | 320 Grams | | Manufacturer | Gibson Overseas Inc | | Manufacturer Part Number | 131293.01R | | Material Type | Carbon Steel | | Model Number | 131293.01R | | Size | Chef's Knife (8") | | UPC | 085081544742 | | Unit Count | 1.0 Count | ## Product Details - **Blade Edge:** Plain - **Blade Material:** High Carbon Steel - **Brand:** Babish - **Color:** Stainless Blade/Black ABS Handle - **Handle Material:** Stainless Steel,Abs Handle,Steel ## Images ![Chef Knife - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71Xf2GX3YAL.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Color** options. ## Questions & Answers **Q: Can you tell me what the exact steel type is? Like VG-10, 1080/84, 1095, etc?** A: There is not a universal grading for stainless steel in regards to cutlery. The Babish knives are 1.4116 German steel. The comparative most often used in U.S. cutlery circles would be 420HC which is which is used for cutlery, custom knives and surgical tools with the carbon factor it improves the hardness and offers wear and corrosion resistance. **Q: What is the hardness of the steel, and what steel is it exactly? vg-10, aus-8, what? "high-carbon german steel" is applicable to so many things.** A: There is not a universal grading for stainless steel in regards to cutlery. The Babish knives are 1.4116 German steel.

Yes Andrew is using the knives that he helped design and that carry his brand. **Q: For sharping purposes, whats the angle of the blade?** A: I read on the internet 17 to 20 degrees is the sharpening angle. But do your on research. I have not had to sharpen this knife. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Incredible knife for the amazing price. *by T***. on January 17, 2026* If you're a fan of the YouTube creator making these tools, I doubt that you need to hear my opinion on this but if you are not familiar with the creator who makes these tools then this review is for you.
