MK9 Chef Knife

Introducing a kitchen tool for the new era, the MÄNNKITCHEN MK9

Männ is "my" in a dialect of old Norse.  My kitchen = MÄNNKITCHEN.  The profile of the MK9 is patterned after Norse longboats, which were designed to slice through the water at maximum speed with minimal resistance. This revolutionary design made distant exploration possible and enabled the Viking Era.

We're in a new era now, hopefully one with less pillaging.
