Leucadia Blade Co. The Chef Knife

Blending Japanese tradition with American craftsmanship, The Chef is an 8.5-inch kitchen knife built for precision and performance. It features a thin, high-performance blade and a full-tang interpretation of the classic Japanese Wa handle, designed with clean lines and a subtle taper for comfort and control.

The blade is crafted from AEB-L Swedish stainless steel, heat-treated and cryogenically treated to 61 HRC for exceptional edge retention and durability. With a 0.10-inch spine thickness, 2-inch height at the heel, full distal taper, and a razor-thin 0.010-inch edge geometry, The Chef delivers smooth, effortless cuts in any kitchen.

Available with optional food-safe DLC coating. DLC provides excellent corrosion-resistance, higher scratch & scuff resistance, as well as improved food release.

Proudly designed and made in the USA.

Handle materials:

• Indigo Wood & Desert Verde Wood: Dymalux, an engineered real wood product made in Maine from birch laminate. Real wood grain, with the engineering to back it up.
• Black w/ Gold, Ghost Jade and Black: G10, a fiberglass-and-epoxy laminate cured under heat and pressure. Light, tough and waterproof, it shrugs off salt water, oils and cleaners. It's seen it all and isn't impressed.
• SD Serape: Our own custom GCarta (a micarta made in Idaho), exclusive to Leucadia Blade Co. and layered with Navy Richlite and G10 liners. You won't find it on anyone else's knife. Every SD Serape knife also carries our La Catrina engraving on its reverse side.
