8” San Mai Chef (Nakarobi)
Bold. Refined. Unmistakably unforgettable.
The Middleton Made 8" San Mai Chef Knife is where elite performance meets modern artistry. Handcrafted for chefs and collectors who appreciate exceptional craftsmanship, this knife combines advanced blade technology with one of the most striking handle designs in the Middleton Made collection.
At its heart is a BG42 stainless steel core, delivering exceptional edge retention, superior hardness, and outstanding cutting performance. The core is protected by a durable 420 stainless steel jacket, creating a traditional San Mai construction that enhances corrosion resistance while showcasing the beauty of layered steel. The result is a blade that's engineered to stay sharper longer while standing up to the demands of everyday cooking.
The versatile 8-inch chef's blade effortlessly handles slicing, chopping, dicing, mincing, and carving. Its tall profile provides generous knuckle clearance, exceptional balance, and makes transferring ingredients from the cutting board to the pan quick and efficient.
The true showpiece is the Chopped Carbon Fiber, Copper Leaf & Resin handle. Lightweight chopped carbon fiber delivers remarkable strength, while genuine copper leaf suspended in crystal-clear resin creates incredible depth, movement, and brilliance. As light catches the handle, the copper accents shimmer against the dark carbon fiber, making every knife completely unique. Expertly contoured for comfort, the handle provides a secure grip and exceptional control while adding a bold, contemporary aesthetic.
This isn't just a chef's knife. It's a statement of craftsmanship.
