Meat The Forsaken Chef 8 ! ! ! . . . Coming Tonight, 2-25-2026, At 9:00PM Eastern . . .

Here's some important info about the Forsaken Chef 8.

Brother Dan ground these blades extremely thin at approximately .010" thick at the edge prior to sharpening.

The thickness of 3 Post-it notes is .0125" thick, meaning that three Post-it notes are 20% thicker than this edge is prior to sharpening!

It's nice to know that if you ever dull it . . . You might not know it ! ! !

This approx. 8" long AEB-L stainless blade at .110" thick sports a 1 1/2 inch high saber ground bevel that is ready for anything that your kitchen can throw at it!

The Forsaken Chef 8 weighs in at an incredibly light 6 ounces, adding to its nimbleness and ease of handling!!!!

The Forsaken Chef 8 is solely designed to be a slicer! It is not recommended for prying or throwing because the tip is scary thin!

This Resiprene-C Handle design is everything you could hope for in a handle where maximum comfort is desired.

It is heavily rounded for comfort and is extremely ergonomic!

The Res-C provides a non-slip grip and is made from our softer Res-C material.

Brother Dan definitely outdid himself on this one!!!

Let's Drink!

Nice. Other than the missing thumb ramp these look pretty much the same. It's good to have choices.

I don't use it as a thumb ramp but I do like the pinch cutting often when I cook, and that extra bit gives me a place to grab the blade.

But, everyone cooks differently. For example global chef knives fit my grip, and my brother in law who was a chef for a bit doesn't like em.
