Powerhouse 12" Chefs - Stainless and GripX

Machined from AEB-L stainless steel, this chef's knife is ready to tackle nearly every task in the kitchen. This steel is extremely durable and one of our favorite steels for its balance of sharpness, toughness, and hardness.

Our brand new Powerhouse pattern of kitchen knives is named after the building we moved the knife shop into in late 2024. Serving as the original light and electric plant in Downtown Bloomington in the late 1880s, and transitioning to power the Bloomington Normal Streetcar system until the mid-40s. This three-piece set of knife patterns is designed as workhorse blades that will serve you well for years to come.

This knife is ground with a beautifully thin edge, making it excellent for cutting and slicing. The gently sloping spine makes the tip needle-sharp and easy to index in the hand, while the gently curving edge creates a beautiful rocking blade for mincing.

A bead blasted finish excels at maintaining its appearance and food release even after years of use.

The full tang handle is well-balanced and dressed in fluorescent orange and grey 3D GripX in an overlook pattern.
