A classic British workhorse with modern sensibility, this 8" chef knife pairs a responsive high-carbon steel blade with a warm, pinned rosewood handle. The triangular profile—flat at the heel, nearly parallel spine and edge—offers excellent balance for rocking, slicing, and precision work, while the rosewood’s tight grain provides a comfortable, secure grip that ages beautifully.

Classic Rosewood by J. Adams & Son is forged to traditional Sheffield patterns then ground to a thin, lively edge. The mono-steel blade is heat-treated for impressive hardness and edge retention, yet remains easy to resharpen at home. Carbon steel takes on a natural patina over time, reflecting its history in your kitchen.

J. Adams & Son has crafted cutlery in Sheffield, England—the historic heart of British blade-making—for generations. Their commitment to honest materials and practical design makes these knives a favorite of cooks who value performance without pretence.

J. Adams & Son blends time-tested hand skills with modern quality control. Each blade is ground and polished in-house, then mated to a rosewood handle secured by brass pins for long-lasting durability and a touch of heritage style.

Chef's Knife – the French-inspired all-rounder – excels at the "holy trinity" of slicing, dicing, and mincing, often called the "king of the kitchen" for its unmatched versatility. Its gently curved belly invites smooth rocking cuts through herbs and aromatics, while the broad blade keeps knuckles clear and the tapered tip handles precision tasks with confidence. The wide profile scoops food easily from board to pan, making it the backbone of Western kitchens and the first knife most cooks reach for—and the last they'd give up. Whether chopping vegetables, trimming meat, slicing fish, or carving proteins, this all-purpose workhorse tackles everything in between with ease, offering maneuverability for home cooks while retaining pro-level versatility.

Monosteel Construction forges the entire blade from a single piece of steel, creating a seamless microstructure from spine to edge. This eliminates weak joints between layers, delivers balanced weight distribution, and simplifies both sharpening and maintenance compared to laminated blades. The uniform hardness and simplified care make monosteel knives ideal for first-time buyers and busy kitchens.
