Product Description
The Hammer Stahl 10-Inch Chef’s Knife brings extra cutting surface to everyday chopping, dicing, mincing, and slicing. Its long blade, substantial heft, and balanced feel make it a versatile cook’s knife for larger prep tasks, from chopping vegetables for a family meal to working through a generous batch of ingredients.
The German-forged X50CrMoV15 high-carbon stainless steel blade pairs with a quad-tang handle, exposing steel on all four sides for balance and comfort. A foam-padded gift box with magnetic latches makes it a thoughtful gift for cooks who prefer a longer chef’s knife.
Part of a family-run American kitchenware business based in Clarksville, Tennessee, Hammer Stahl draws on a manufacturing heritage dating to 1874. Donald Henn established New Era in 1981 after purchasing Vollrath’s consumer division. New Era added Hammer Stahl cutlery in 2008, bringing traditional German forging methods together with thoughtfully designed handles.
