Slice, dice, mince, chop—do it all with the versatile and essential chef’s knife. Its heel is 20% wider than traditional chef’s knives, for improved hand clearance and smoother cutting motion. Each knife in the Reserve Collection features a handsome, ergonomically contoured handle made of reclaimed black walnut and burnished to a gorgeous luster. The tough cryo-hardened American-steel blades boast a Rockwell Hardness of 61, are protected by chromium-rich alloy to resist corrosion, and are hand sharpened to 16-degree “apple seed” edge for long-lasting, reliable performance.

Ferrum knives are handcrafted in Willamette Valley, Oregon, using proprietary stainless alloy from western Pennsylvania and reclaimed hardwood burnished and rubbed with oil to a gorgeous luster. Ferrum Reserve processes the steel in Oregon, using their proprietary method of advanced metal forming, which results in less waste produced and metals with greater purity and density. Ferrum crowns the spine and flush sands every seam to ensure a comfortable grip.
