Why are Good Knives So Expensive?
While working at Fresh Direct — immersed in a culture that loved cooking and food as a new chef —
Misen founder Omar Rada quickly realized that good, quality kitchen tools truly made a difference
in his food. When he tried to replace a high-quality $300 pan that a friend had lost,
he was blown away by the price tags for quality kitchen tools.
After some research he realized that most high-end cooking tools come with a serious price markup,and shouldn’t actually cost as much as they do.
“My previous knife had been pretty mediocre, so a quality one was a revelation. It allowed me to be more versatile and creative in the kitchen. And it was so much fun to use.”

The Single Most Important Tool in Your Kitchen
Virtually every chef agrees that a sharp, well-balanced Chef’s Knife is the essential
workhorse for any kitchen.
Unlike a cheaper knife, a high-quality knife will stay sharper
longer, allow you to cut through anything in the kitchen with ease, last a lifetime, and in general,
make cooking easier and more fun.
Point is, it’s a piece worth investing in. The problem has been the
astronomical price tag that comes with a great one. Until now.

The Importance of a Great Knife
What Makes a Great Knife?
A great knife should feel good in your hand, stay sharp, and hold up over time to the rigors of your kitchen. Behind these deceptively simple concepts are centuries of tradition, technology, design, and craft.

Stays Sharp and Durable
Stays Sharp and Durable
Choosing the right steel is a delicate balancing act: too much hardness creates a brittle knife, while too little means a blade will dull fast.
With 2x the carbon content of steel used by some competitors, the AUS-10 steel in our Chef’s Knife is the perfect sweet spot that’ll keep your knife strong and sharp over time.

Our Features
Our Features
Unique Sloped Bolster
Our unique sloped bolster pulls double duty: the sloped shape encourages a proper “pinch grip” for comfort and control, while the bolster’s placement creates better access to the full length of the blade.
Premium AUS-10 Steel
The Chef’s Knife is made with AICHI AUS-10 steel, which offers an even better balance between lasting sharpness and durability with 2X the carbon content of some other “premium” knives.
15° Blade Angle
While most Western-style knives have edge angles of 25 degrees, we use more acute 15 degree angles for a noticeably sharper cutting face.
Handcrafted Down to the Smallest Detail
We spent four years developing this knife because every little detail matters.
And partly because we’re a bit insane.
At every step along the way, our knife was
hand-tested and refined by professional chefs, avid home cooks, product designers,
and people who’ve never even held a knife before. We painstakingly went through
37 different prototypes until we knew we had the perfect knife.
