MK9 is a perfect knife. Superbly balanced, expertly made and a pleasure to use. It is a high quality product. I hope they will make a smaller version of Chef's knife for the real boss of the kitchen.
This Chef Knife quickly became my favorite. I find the balance absolutely perfect, size ideal and handle super-comfortable. I used the Pepper Canon for a long time and never really checked the site for the new products, so glad I did (had to order another Pepper Canon, as my original was gifted to a visiting friend, So glad the collection of knifes are reflecting the founder's quest for perfection. Planning to purchase full collection. Also, glad to support another great business!
I'm 73 years old and have been cooking (at home, not professionally) since I was in college. Over the years I've tried dozens of knives from dozens of makers in a variety of styles (German, Japanese, American, you name it) in search of the one, perfect knife that would feel like a natural extension of my hand and arm and that I could trust that somehow it had read my mind in terms of what I wanted it to cut and how I wanted it to cut. I stumbled across MaANNKITCHEN's paring knife about a year ago and found it to be a blessed revelation/revolution -- why the hell had I been working with the dinky traditional paring knives all these years? So, even though I was skeptical about its size and weight, I decided to give their massive MK9 Chef's Knife a try. And man, am I ever glad I did. I've been using it daily/nightly for a couple of month now. As huge as it is, it never feels big or heavy in my hand -- it moves effortlessly. Yet that size lets it cut faster and more efficiently -- I seem to finish my prep work in a fraction of the time I used to do. I've been using my honing steel on it, but I feel like I'm just going through the motions in doing so -- the thing just seems to keep its edge no matter what I throw at it. My wife is happy to know that my habit of buying an expensive new chef's knife every couple of years is finally over -- with the MK9, I have at last found the perfect one!
I wanted this knife when I first saw it years ago, but I already had plenty of knives. Whenever I got an email from Mannkitchen, I always has to look at this knife. Then recently, there was a sale and I had to take advantage of it.
This knife is so comfortable to hold and cut. It fits my hand perfectly. It's the perfect knife. It was worth the wait.
Great knife, love it. Heavy and cuts so well.
Recommend this knife.
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.
