## Description

Chef’s knife + Cleaver = Clef. This hybrid knife gives you the best of both worlds. It marries the precision of a chef’s knife with the utility of a cleaver, featuring both a perfectly tapered edge with a wide surface area perfect for scooping up freshly-chopped ingredients. Precision-forged form a single piece of high-carbon German Steel, it features a grippy yet sleek handle that provides a secure, comfortable grip. Any way you cut it, it’s a cut above. Excess heat and detergent from automatic dishwashers can damage or stain the blades, so dishwashers are not recommended. Do not allow blades to soak in water. Do not allow food to remain on blade after use, as this may cause stains. In most cases, persistent stains can be easily removed with a standard stainless-steel cleanser & polish. Use a sharpener and honing rod between uses to keep knives sharp. It’s recommended to use a whetstone or have your knives professionally sharpened once or twice a year. (See more sharpening instructions below.) To preserve sharp edges, use knives on a wood or soft plastic cutting board. Hard surfaces such as countertops, dinner plates, or glass cutting boards will dull blades. Knives are not made to cut bones, frozen foods, or other hard objects. Love this knife and it will love you back. Use extreme caution to protect against injury. These knives are extremely sharp. I’m not kidding, I seriously mangled my finger with this knife when we were shooting promo videos, and I kinda-sorta know what I’m doing. Never use a knife as a can opener, pry bar, screwdriver, wedge, or hand tool. Never handle a knife by the blade. Keep sharp edges pointed away from you when laying a knife down. Never attempt to catch a falling knife. Keep all knives away from children. Store properly in a knife block, roll, or other safe place.

Review: A Great Japanese-style Bunka Knife for the Price - Its not hard to see why this humble little Babish knife rates a 4.7 here and has won awards for their design and functionality, especially at a $30 price point. With decent quality stainless steel (forged, not stamped) and thoughtful design, $30 bucks is hardly a risk, and a damn good one! The design is Japanese but with some traditional features too such as the type of steel and handle. Its a nice fusion, especially if you want to explore the world of non-western design. I am definitely biased toward the traditional designs of Wusthof and Zwilling, and own a few of them but figured this inexpensive bunka knife was worth a shot. Still getting used to it, but am impressed with the initial sharpness, the steel quality, and the more traditional handle, as I am no fan of Japanese round or octagonal handles. The grip is comfortable enough for casual use and more, and the knife feels relatively light in the hand. The knife is a YouTube branded knife, but unlike some YT merch, it punches well above its price point. Even comes in a fitted foam box nice for gifting, and has the brand is modestly etched into the knife, and the bolster at the back has an etched image of the designer. Where some might suggest that is tacky, its actually smart marketing, as is the thoughtful packaging, as most sub-$50 knives just get that hard plastic packaging that often is so frustrating to cut away to open the package. While some seem upset there is no sheath with it, think price: this is a a basic knife, albeit a good one. Why have to up the price by 5-10 bucks for a sheath, when most do or will have a block, a rack, etc. If you really need a sheath, just shell out extra for one. You'll still be way ahead. Nice job, Babish, in providing a decent kitchen tool at a price that won't require selling your soul. Is it a premium Wusthof? Does it have to be at $30? And how *much* better IS the WUSTHOF that costs over $200? I am more than happy to have it sharing the same space on my rack as my Wusthof. So, I think a fully justified 5 stars is fair, given the price to quality comparison. Hard to beat it. WIN.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: What would I use the clef knife for vs the chef/santoku?**
A: Great question! The Clef knife marries the precision of a chef’s knife with the utility of a cleaver, featuring both a perfectly tapered edge with a wide surface area perfect for scooping up freshly-chopped ingredients.

**Q: What is the bevel angle?**
A: Well unless you are doing the manual angle yourself it’s about 13-15 degrees. However I suggest mimicking the angle on this knife the best way to do this is with a sharpie. Run the side of the sharpie on the grind edge on both sides and sharpen until the sharpie is gone. The work your burr and leather strap for the finishing touches. I recommend doing this with all of you knifes unless you are confident in doing a correct convex edge. Anyway saber grinds with a micro edge are great for king Chen knife edges. Also a side note avoid the tough steels for kitchen knifes. Just gone or strap your edge b4 every use and you will be good!

**Q: Where are they manufactured?**
A: China

**Q: For sharpening purposes, what is the bevel angle these have from the manufacturer? Thanks!**
A: It is roughly 20 degrees. Double bevel

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Such Quality At Such A Cheap Price
*by P***Y on 25 April 2023*

This has easily become my go-to knife in the kitchen, and I cannot recommend it highly enough! First off, let me tell you about the build quality. The high-carbon German steel is incredibly durable, yet flexible enough for precise cuts. I've used it to slice through the toughest of ingredients, and the blade has remained sharp and efficient. The weight is perfectly balanced, giving me confidence and control during my culinary adventures. The genius of the Clef design is that it combines the best features of a cleaver and a chef's knife. The wide blade is ideal for crushing garlic or transferring chopped ingredients, while the precision of the chef's knife allows for intricate cuts and dicing. This knife is incredibly versatile, making it perfect for everyday cooking. Another thing I love about this knife is its comfortable grip. The ergonomically designed handle fits perfectly in my hand (as a left-hander the struggle is real), preventing fatigue even during long sessions of meal prep. It truly is a joy to use! In conclusion, the Babish Clef Knife has completely transformed my cooking experience. Its versatility, durability, and comfort make it an essential tool in my kitchen. I can't imagine going back to using any other knife (for its purpose, of course)!
