Scanpan Chef’s Knife 200 mm
Versatile kitchen knife engineered for demanding daily preparation
Built for professional cooks and dedicated culinary enthusiasts facing relentless preparation prep, this knife delivers stability and cutting authority across high-volume prep shifts. Danish design principles combine with modern grinding technology to deliver effortless cutting control through meat, root vegetables, and herbs alike.
German stainless steel for enduring sharpness
Crafted from premium German DIN 1.4116 stainless steel, the blade is tempered to HRC 56–57 to strike a practical balance between durable edge retention and straightforward honing. A precision-ground 26° cutting edge slices cleanly through ingredients without bruising delicate produce or binding on tough fibres.
Ergonomic bolster design for pinch-grip precision
The carefully shaped bolster facilitates a confident pinch grip, allowing the thumb and forefinger to sit naturally forward along the rounded blade spine for superior guidance. A comfortable trilobal handle distributes pressure across the hand, keeping the knife well-balanced and safe under heavy chopping loads.
To preserve edge sharpness and surface condition over years of service, clean the blade by hand washing with mild detergent and dry thoroughly before placing it into a protective block or knife magnet.
