Your First Professional Kitchen Knife That Will Stay With You for Years

The BK-100 is a versatile Japanese kitchen knife from the CHEF series, inspired by the classic French chef’s knife. Weighing 226 grams, it’s made from thicker 3 mm MAC Superior Steel (AUS8) with a hardness of 59 HRC, making it exceptionally strong, stable, and resistant to damage. Its 255 mm blade ensures smooth, precise cuts — whether you’re slicing meat, vegetables, or fruit. The durable Pakka wood handle offers excellent ergonomics and a secure grip, while the knife’s perfect balance makes it light and comfortable to use, even during long cooking sessions. The BK-100 is the medium-sized model in the BK lineup — the perfect middle ground between the agile BK-80 and the powerful BK-120. Both beginner cooks and professionals will fall in love with this knife. Heavier than standard models, it provides greater control and cutting power — ideal for those who want to experience the authentic rhythm of working with a Japanese knife and take their cooking skills to the next level. With the BK-100, chopping stops being a chore and becomes a true pleasure. Precision, strength, and comfort — all in one tool that will serve you faithfully for years to come.
