Collection: Chef's knives

A chef’s knife is a versatile kitchen tool with a broad, sharp blade. It’s perfect for slicing vegetables, meat, herbs, and even bread. Our chef’s knives from Solingen combine precision and durability – ideal for both home cooks and professional chefs.

Solingen chef’s knives are known worldwide for their superior quality and craftsmanship. At F. Herder, all knives are made from stainless steel, making them exceptionally durable and robust. The ergonomic handles also ensure a comfortable cutting experience.

To maintain the sharpness of your chef’s knife, we recommend using a sharpening stone or honing steel. Hold the blade at an angle of 15–20 degrees and draw it evenly across the sharpening surface. For best results, check out our blog post “Knife Sharpening Made Easy.”

Our chef’s knives feature handles made from premium materials such as Mediterranean olive wood, walnut wood, and hygienic POM (plastic). Each material is carefully selected to ensure durability, comfort, and an appealing look.

We recommend always hand-washing chef’s knives to maintain the sharpness of the blade and the quality of the handle material. Dishwashers can damage wooden handles and impair the blade’s cutting performance.

Most of our chef’s knives are made from high-quality 4034 stainless steel with a hardness of 56–57 HRC. This combination ensures exceptional sharpness and durability – perfect for precise cuts and versatile kitchen tasks.
