Product Description
The Hammer Stahl 8-Inch Chef’s Knife is an all-purpose kitchen companion for chopping, dicing, mincing, and slicing. Also known as a cook’s knife, it combines substantial heft with a balanced feel for everyday preparation and heavier kitchen work, from dicing vegetables for soup to mincing herbs for a finishing touch.
Its German-forged X50CrMoV15 high-carbon stainless steel blade pairs with a quad-tang handle that exposes steel on all four sides for balance and comfort. A foam-padded gift box with magnetic latches makes it a thoughtful gift for a home cook.
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.
