Sheepsfoot Chef's Knife

Sheepsfoot Chef’s Knife — 6.5” Nitro-V A tall, confidence-inspiring chef’s knife built for accuracy and power. Our 6.5” Sheepsfoot Chef’s Knife is a modern, Western take on the Japanese santoku — designed for cooks who value precision, tall blade visibility, and effortless control. Its generous blade height, flat edge profile, and sheepsfoot tip make it exceptionally easy to index, guide, and maneuver, whether you’re slicing large produce or making rapid-fire prep cuts. It’s Avery Knifeworks’ best-selling kitchen knife of all time, and for good reason: it performs beautifully in every kitchen, for every skill level. Key Features 6.5” Nitro-V Stainless Blade — Excellent corrosion resistance, fine-grain sharpness, and reliable toughness. Optimized Hardness (60–62 HRC) — The ideal balance of edge retention and durability for an everyday chef’s knife. Tall Blade Height (2.375”) — Exceptional visibility and finger clearance; easy indexing for guided, accurate cuts. 1.375” Handle Clearance — Plenty of knuckle room over cutting boards of all thicknesses. Sheepsfoot Profile — Offers a flatter edge for minimal rocking and ultra-precise drag cuts using the tip. Hand-Sculpted 5” Handle — Comfortable, balanced, and designed for long prep sessions without fatigue. Versatile & Approachable — Ideal for beginners, professionals, and anyone who wants a chef’s knife that “just feels right.” Craftsmanship This chef’s knife is entirely hand-ground and hand-finished, with a geometry tuned specifically for kitchen versatility. The flatter cutting edge reduces the need for rocking, making it easier to achieve perfectly straight slices and uniform cuts. The tall blade height gives you excellent control and visibility — a feature customers consistently rave about. Nitro-V steel hardened to 60–62 HRC offers superb durability with fine-edge sharpness, while remaining easy to maintain and touch up over time. The sheepsfoot tip allows for precise tip work by dragging the edge across the board — a favorite technique for cooks who value accuracy. Every handle is meticulously hand-sculpted, providing a natural, confident grip during long prep sessions. Its balance and ergonomics are a major reason this knife has become a customer favorite year after year.
