    Large Chef Knife Breakdown

    Who's this knife for?

    The Large Chef Knife is for the home cook, wild game processor, and outdoor kitchen enthusiast who wants a handcrafted chef knife that feels nothing like what you pull off a store rack. Whether you're breaking down an elk backstrap, dicing vegetables for camp stew, or slicing through a venison roast, the 8 inch blade gives you the length and weight to handle large cuts of meat and high-volume prep work with control. If you process your own wild game and want a kitchen knife built with the same craftsmanship as your hunting knives, this completes the set. From field to table, one kitchen.
    Blade specs and steel

    X50CrMoV15 stainless steel, hardened to 55-57 HRC. X50CrMoV15 is a high-chromium German steel that delivers excellent edge retention and corrosion resistance for a kitchen blade that sees constant moisture, acidic foods, and heavy daily use. Blade length is 8 inches with an overall knife length of 14 inches. Handle length is 6 inches. Weighs 7.8 oz, giving you enough weight behind the blade to rock through dense root vegetables and thick cuts of meat without forcing the cut. Full tang construction for balance and durability.
    Handle material and grip

    The large chef comes in Corian® handle options, which is food safe and a durable handle material. Available in multiple handle options. Each handle is hand-fitted and contoured for a comfortable pinch grip or full wrap grip depending on your cutting style. The extended 6 inch handle accommodates larger hands and provides room to adjust grip position for different tasks, from fine mincing to heavy chopping. Hand assembled in Rapid River, Michigan.
    What's in the box?

    Large chef knife and care instructions. Designed for countertop storage in a knife block, magnetic strip, or blade guard. Custom laser engraving is available for logos or personalized text.
    Care and maintenance

    RRK knives are built for hard use in the field, shop, kitchen, and everyday carry. To keep your knife performing at its best, proper care and routine maintenance are recommended.

    After each use, hand wash the knife with soap and warm water, then dry it completely. Do NOT place your knife in the dishwasher. Apply a light coat of food-safe mineral oil or knife-specific blade oil after cleaning to help protect the blade and maintain the finish, especially for knives used in the kitchen or around moisture and acidic foods.

    Avoid prolonged exposure to moisture, saltwater, blood, or acidic materials, and never leave the knife stored wet or dirty. For long-term storage, keep the knife in a cool, dry location and avoid storing it inside a leather sheath for extended periods.

    To maintain the edge, use a leather strop or carbide sharpener between full sharpenings. Avoid power grinders or excessive heat during sharpening, as overheating can damage the blade’s heat treatment and edge retention.

    Rapid River Knifeworks offers free sharpening and polishing for the life of every RRK knife. Simply ship the knife in and the team will restore the factory edge and finish. Customer is responsible for return shipping.
