The "workhorse" knife. A chef knife is a must-have knife, designed to perform well at many different kitchen tasks. Our chef knives are center-weighted and balance thinness and precision, with durability and strength. If you only have one knife in your kitchen, this better be it.

Our most popular size, the 8.5” blade length is a size most people are familiar with whether they use Western or Japanese style chef knives. The length of the blade can handle larger projects, as easily as it can be used for everyday cutting.

  • Steel: Nitro-V Stainless Steel
  • Handle: Ironwood with Black G-10 Liner and Carbon Fiber Inlay
  • Rockwell (HRC): 61

Showcasing the beauty found in harsh, rugged conditions, the Olneya collection spotlights the dense, heavy wood of the Desert Ironwood tree. 

Olneya features sleek and evocative blade profiles made from Nitro-V stainless steel, known for its long-lasting edge retention and high corrosion resistance. From this twisting tree, we've given the handles a lean and smooth shape, with a flat taper toward the center grip-point of the knife, and a broad oval base complemented by a carbon fiber inlay pin and G10 liner. The glittering chatoyance of rich and deep golden tones in the wood develops from natural stresses the tree is exposed to in its extreme (arid) and torrid environment.

With respect for the austere and mysterious wilderness where the Desert Ironwood tree grows, an Ironwood branch silhouette is engraved on the backside of the blade to illustrate Olneya's untamed elegance.
