We watched the chefs closely and, with THE KNIFE, completely reinvented the chef’s knife! Everything about this knife is truly different. The short handle automatically prompts the user to grip the knife much further forward than usual—so far forward that the thumb and index finger wrap around the blade. This makes the blade an (almost) natural extension of the hand, guaranteeing a secure grip and precise control. The hand naturally rests over the blade rather than behind it. This creates a shorter lever arm, resulting in better power transfer. No awkward transitions—all lines are fluid. And then there’s the blade, ground all the way to the tip and extended backward beneath the handle. Cutting where the force is applied, supported by a weight distribution that allows THE KNIFE. to practically fall into the food. It hardly gets any better than this. With the GOOD DESIGN Award, THE KNIFE received the oldest, most prestigious, and globally recognized prize for excellent design —alongside a wealth of other renowned accolades. By the way: THE KNIFE with THE KNIFE is actually even more enjoyable than just looking at it!
