Beautiful Chefs knife - with a comfortable balance and extra wide blade face - assisting in scooping up chopped vegetables etc. In a single pass. Not inexpensive but my new favorite knife around the kitchen.
So far so good. Loving my MK9. You can't describe this knife as "petite" by any means. I can't wait to use it more!
I wanted to update my Okendo review of the MK9 now that I've been using it for a while, but it looks like I can't use the link more than once. I'm including my updated review below: I'm always hesitant to review a product immediately after buying it. That said, I've been using the MK9 Chef Knife as my daily driver knife for 5 months now, and I feel like I'm in a good position to talk about the quality, usability, and durability now that I've put it through its paces.
Männkitchen makes some pretty bold claims about the metallurgy of this knife. Can a stainless blade really hold and edge like carbon? Will it really be more durable and chip-resistant? Before I bought, I searched for other examples of nitrogen stainless steel in kitchen knives and didn't find any examples of other manufacturers using that sort of steel. Is there a reason? Are there drawbacks I'm not hearing about? Since I was so happy with the quality of the Pepper Cannon, I decided to take the risk, and I placed my order.
5 months later, I can confidently say that the knife has, so far, been exactly as promised. I use it daily, it's as tarnish-resistant as regular stainless, I haven't even sharpened it (other than honing on a steel) since it arrived, and the row of sutures on my right index finger will attest that it remains razor sharp. When I fumbled the knife the other night and my reflexes kicked in before I remembered that a falling knife has no handle, as the blade sliced through the pad of my meaty…
After what seemed a very long wait my Mannkitchen MK9 knife finally arrived and I gotta say this knife is awsome and was well worth the wait. Its much more substantial than i expected and fits so comfortably in my hand , is very well balanced and importantly is very sharp. I especially love the broad blade and the grip. The knife is very well packed and presented. An excellent product worth every penny.
Good balance, shape and size. Very sharp.
The MK9 blade is made of X63-Nitrogen Steel. The tighter grain structure gives it surgical sharpness, exceptional edge retention, and improved corrosion resistance.
Designed with a Convex Spine Profile, the MK9 curves downward at both ends. This gives you a more natural wrist position that reduces strain and prevents wedging in large ingredients.
With its 2.5 in blade width, you can chop confidently knowing that your knuckles, no matter how big or small, won’t scrape the cutting board! It’s also extra long with a belly concentrated in the front ⅓, so it makes slicing/chopping even the largest ingredients a breeze.
The spine is round & polished so there’s no friction that will lead to discomfort and blistering.
The handle is extra large with added width and thickness, and no angular edges, making it super comfortable for even the largest of hands. Scales made of indestructible G10 ensure it doesn’t slip (even when wet) and won’t swell, shrink, crack, or discolor.
All the safety of a full bolster with none of the drawbacks. It adds stability, protects your hand, and only adds width where it’s needed, so point-to-heel sharpening is easy like Sunday morning.
