Knifz Forge Chef's Knife — 7.5″
Knifz Forge Chef's Knife — 7.5″
A 7.5-inch hammer-forged chef's knife in 5Cr15 high-carbon stainless steel. Full-tang construction, 15° hand-honed edge, dense Wenge wood handle with brass rivets, fitted leather sheath included. The one knife that handles slicing, dicing, mincing and breaking down proteins.
WHAT'S IN YOUR HAND
1. A 15° EDGE, SET BY HAND
Finer than the 20–25° grind on most factory knives, so it bites without pressure and stays sharp through long prep sessions.
2. HAMMER-FORGED, NOT STAMPED
Forging compacts the steel grain for a tougher blade; the hammered face leaves tiny air gaps so food releases instead of sticking.
3. FULL TANG, WENGE HANDLE
One continuous piece of steel runs through the handle, pinned with brass rivets. Wenge is dense, dark, and shrugs off moisture.
4. LEATHER SHEATH IN THE BOX
A fitted saddle-brown sheath with a brass snap, so the edge stays protected in a drawer, a bag, or on the way to the smoker.
KNIFE CARE & MAINTENANCE ▾
Hand wash in warm soapy water and towel-dry straight away. Never put it in the dishwasher or leave it sitting in the sink. Wipe a little food-grade mineral oil on the blade and handle every few weeks. Touch up the edge with the Knifz EdgeKeeper or a fine whetstone. Not intended for bones or frozen food.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Quick answers. Email Support@knifz.com for anything else.
Is the blade forged or stamped? ▾
Forged. Each blade is shaped by hammer-forging rather than cut from flat sheet stock. You can see the hammer marks on the face of the blade; they aren't decorative, they're how it was made.
What steel is this? ▾
5Cr15 high-carbon stainless steel. It holds a 15° edge well, resists rust with basic care, and is easy to bring back with a sharpener or stone.
What comes in the box? ▾
The knife and a fitted leather sheath with a brass snap closure.
Is it dishwasher safe? ▾
No. Dishwasher heat and detergent will dry out the wood and dull the edge. Hand wash and dry immediately.
How does the 30-day guarantee work? ▾
Use it for 30 days. If it isn't what you expected, email Support@knifz.com and we'll refund you in full.
