Large Chefs Knife

For the large stainless steel chefs knife, this version takes inspiration from the very efficient blade shape of the Japanese Gyoto chef’s knife and combined it with a more balanced handle. An essential knife in the kitchen. Best used for: general cutting of fruits and vegetable, meat and fish, on a cutting board.

Available with an Ice Beech or Walnut Wood handle

Ice Beech or Eisbuche is one of the most distinctive woods you will ever find. Created with sustainable practices from beech trees of the Black Forest, Ice Beech is created as the wood undergoes a natural process involving extended exposure to cold weather and moisture to produce its uniquely veined character and rich contrast.

Walnut wood for these knives originate from Baden and France and are taken from the root or the trunk close to the root. It is hard and has a good grip, elegant blackish-brown coloring and a beautiful swirling grain. Rare, noble and very durable, it is a real treasure among the European woods.

In contrast to most of today’s knives, Robert Herder still makes their knives in Solingen, Germany using traditional and laborious thin grinding techniques since 1872, where the blade is ground to be quite slender and very pointed towards the cutting edge. The result is remarkable sharpness and edge retention, and really is a pleasure to use.
