The cutting edge is sharp and precise, the scalloped belly helps with food release, the handle ergonomics and weight make it easy to use and control. At 8", it is large enough to handle most things with a single cut. The edge maintains sharpness and requires only occasional honing to maintain the edge. It's durable enough to go through the dishwasher if you choose to do so. There are cheaper options available for sure, but you're getting what you pay for with those. This blade is well-priced and offers great value at its price point. Review: SImply no reason to get any other knife of this class. - I bought this knife ~4 years ago for a prep cook kitchen job. I process about 200-300 lbs of chicken a week, by hand or in this case knife. Sometimes just cleaning up double lobe breasts, some cutting into boneless bites, and some cut into fine strips for chicken cheese-steaks. Not to mention the tons of onions and other various prep tasks. 40-50 hours a week every week, without fail. With only using a honing steel to keep the edge in good shape, the edge has JUST started to fail this year, and needs to be professionally resharpened. Even using those crappy "knife sharpeners" you see in a lot of kitchens, has helped it limp along even though the edge is almost entirely gone. This knife is a workhorse. Kept sharp this beauty will cut protein, and pretty much anything else, with ease. To quote Hattori Hanzo from the movie Kill Bill: "Should you encounter God on your travels, God will be cut" Signed, A frontline prep cook who has put multiple tons of work through this blade. ## Features - QUALITY CONSTRUCTION: Knife is precision-forged with high-carbon German steel for better durability, and taper-ground edge allows for increased efficiency when cutting along with incredible long-lasting sharpness - SUPERIOR DESIGN: The finest handle in forged cutlery; built to last ergonomic handle offers comfort and a non-slip grip, even with wet hands - BEST USE: The perfect knife for chopping, mincing, and cutting.

The uneven surface of a Granton edge (a misnomer, since it affects the faces of the blade, and not the edge!) helps by reducing how much of the blade they can touch, and prevents that suction-cup-like effect for all but the very thinnest or lightest of slices. **Q: Is this any different to the non-granton edge other then the obvious?** A: Other than the addition of the kullens on the blade there is no other difference. **Q: Are the scallops alternating in either side? Doing so will give the blade more strength and stability.** A: The knife is very strong and stable, the scallops will not affect this chef knife. **Q: The 8 inch short bolster grantont edge forged chefs knife . The knife looks thin does it break if applied on heavy duty like bones ?** A: I havent had any issues. It’s not flimsy at all. I use it to break down whole chickens some times if i am not using my boning/filet knife and it holds up great. Honestly its my favorite knife, its starting to become the only knife I use and i have 2 knife bags of german and japaneese knives. Im also a fan of their slicer as well. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great knife, Great value *by SS***² on August 9, 2026* I've been using this knife for a few months now, and it's become one of my 2 "daily drivers" in the kitchen.

Otherwise get the ten inch. Handle is grippy and tough. Using 40 hrs a week in a restaraurant. Needs touching up with a ceramic rod every other day. ## Frequently Bought Together - Mercer Culinary M21077 Genesis 8-Inch Granton Edge Chef's Knife,Black - Mercer Culinary Knife Guard, 8 Inch x 2 Inch,Black --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.is/products/11052099-m21077-genesis-8-inch-granton-edge-chefs-knife-black](https://www.desertcart.is/products/11052099-m21077-genesis-8-inch-granton-edge-chefs-knife-black) --- *Product available on Desertcart Iceland* *Store origin: IS* *Last updated: 2026-10-16*
