The Messermeister Custom 8 Inch Chef’s Knife is the workhorse in every kitchen. You'll gravitate towards this knife and find yourself using it for most of your cutting tasks. The 2.2mm blade is engineered to be light, fast and agile with a full taper grind for featherweight performance without sacrificing strength. The center of mass is located on the leading edge of the handle for optimal balance. The raised tang has a 5-degree camber for maximum ergonomic comfort and control. We also pushed the heal of the knife forward to keep the sharp bits away from your fingers.

I love these knives. I have been needing some new knives for quite a while. So much time was spent researching and pricing different brands, but nothing felt worth it. When I discovered Messermeister, I knew this was the brand I wanted to go with. The quality is superb. I am now more inspired to cook thanks to having better tools. So thank you to the team at Messermeister. You have a customer for life.
The one I received was either a customer return or an open box. The box it came with, the sticker seal was torn and missing a flap. The cardboard knife sheath didn’t come with any clips and/or knife guard. It slid right off without any protection. The handle has a few very light scratches and the tip has a very minor dent.
I know eventually it wouldn’t really matter once I start using it with wear and tear, but it is just disappointing to buy something “new” and receive a used one. Emailed customer service but never got a response.
I cook at home for myself and fiance, we had super dull knives before and enough was enough. Saw an instagram ad and decided to give this brand a try.
This knife is great! As shipped, very sharp from the thoughtful packaging. Appearance of the knife is professional but still nuanced and unique. Overall I love this knife and you will too.
Knife cuts through tomatoes with ease, cutting through onions and other veg much more uniformly than with my dull knives. Cuts through salmon skin easily. The list goes on.
Very sharp and comfortable to use for long periods of time
I love a good knife. The problem is finding the right knife that feels good in your hand, has refined details that make a difference, and is sharp…this knife ticks all the boxes. It’s super comfortable to hold and use with a pinch grip. The rounded spine and the way the choil rests against your fingers, and the fact there’s no bolster are fantastic. And the knife came razor sharp out of the box, on top of it this thing is gorgeous. It’s the perfect balance of a European and Japanese chef’s knife. I’m won over.
