When we launched MKC, we started with the Blackfoot blade because we wanted a great, all-purpose knife. We took the same approach with our culinary knives. The foundation of every great kitchen is a favorite chef’s knife, so we created the Bighorn, an 8- inch chef’s knife that can handle everything from carving a Thanksgiving turkey to dicing up cherry tomatoes to coring an apple. If you only have one knife in your kitchen, this is the knife you want.

MAGNACUT STAINLESS STEEL

MAGNACUT Stainless Steel

As a cryogenically heat-treated stainless steel, MAGNACUT provides the perfect blend of toughness, edge retention, and corrosion resistance.

Unlike other stainless steel blades, MAGNACUT can be easily resharpened — even by novice knife owners. More wear-resistant than other stainless steels, and more corrosion-resistant than carbon steel, MAGNACUT is in a class of its own.Learn more about MAGNACUT Stainless Steel from the creator: Larrin Thomas.
Ergonomic Handle

It was important to us that our chef’s knife have an incredibly comfortable, ergonomic handle – because the relationship you have with this tool is through the handle.

With zero hotspots and zero sharp corners, this knife will stay comfortable in your hand whether you’re chopping a few vegetables or using it for long prep sessions.
Knuckle Clearance and Angled Heel

Mareko designed the Bighorn’s cutting edge profile so that when it rests flat on a cutting surface.

It gives the handle a nice upsweep to provide much more knuckle clearance than you typically see.

Angled Heel

The unusual way the heel angles back down towards your fingers is a key design element that makes this knife unique.

This purposeful design takes what usually counts as wasted space on a blade and puts it to work as a guard for your fingers, and even making the blade feel shorter than it is.
Exclusive MKC Kydex Sheath

Each Bighorn Chef comes with a USA Made, custom MKC Kydex sheath.

The sheath features a built-in retention screw to customize blade tension and allow for handle-down carrying. The Bighorn Chef sheath comes with a single-direction snap that prevents the knife from coming out of the sheath by accident and haptic feedback when sheathing or removing the blade.
Free Sharpening For Life & Beyond

Generations® is our promise to restore your knife to its original, unmatched working condition.

MKC will clean, sharpen, repair, and even reshape your blades when necessary, as well as rewrapping handles free of charge.

While we perform all necessary sharpening and maintenance, our aim is not to return your knife to its brand new appearance. Learn more about MKC Generations Promise.

    It feels really good in the hand, but it feels butt heavy to me and the blade feels fat. I'm use to a Japanese knife and this doesn't seem to glide through vegetables like my Japanese knifes. It's a beautiful knife and it's sharp it just takes more effort to use vs some of my other knives.

    I believe it's a good knife and I'll definitely put it to use, every knife has its pros and cons, you just got to find what it cuts best for you.

    My husband lost his mind!

    I found these guys on instagram so I ordered the big horn for my husband, when I gave it to him he was so stoked. he walks around the kitchen with it tucked in his apron like he’s an operator … so funny but anyways the knife is amazing and balanced perfectly… thanks MKC your gear is solid.

    Sharp and Ergonomical

    The blade is thin and extremely sharp, but still has some heft to make cutting denser foods easy. Despite its size, it can handle finer cuts and is very maneuverable. The handle design is perfect: fits your hand well and no fatigue even after prolonged use.
