HEZHEN PM8S Chef Knife 8.5“

The HEZHEN PM8S 8.5″ Chef Knife combines a distinctive dark blade finish with a practical, versatile chef knife profile. Made from 3 layers of 10Cr15CoMoV steel, the blade offers a good balance of sharpness, durability and everyday performance, with a hardness of 58–62 HRC.

The blade is first treated to create a dark oxide layer, giving it its deep black appearance. It then undergoes stone washing and sand blasting, creating a finely textured, frosted surface with a rugged vintage character. This multi-step finishing process gives the blade a unique look while helping to reduce the highly reflective appearance of a polished blade.

With a 15° cutting edge, the 8.5-inch blade is well suited to everyday kitchen tasks including slicing meat, chopping vegetables, mincing herbs and general food preparation. At approximately 181g, it offers a comfortable balance between control and cutting power.

The Japanese-style octagonal handle, made from redwood and buffalo horn, provides a secure and comfortable grip while complementing the dark blade finish. A distinctive choice for cooks who want a chef knife that performs well while also having a more understated, handcrafted appearance.
