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.
MKC X MAREKO MAUMASI COLLABORATION
We asked renowned knife maker Mareko Maumasi — with his extensive knowledge as a bladesmith and experience in the restaurant industry — to join MKC and design our first line of culinary knives. To create a top-tier chef’s knife, we wanted to go above and beyond the standard to address common problems people run into with chef’s knives. Mareko designed every square inch of the Bighorn with purpose and precision — and with the goal of making kitchen tasks a joy, not a chore.

LOCKING KYDEX SHEATH
Every Bighorn Chef’s Knife comes equipped with its own custom-molded Kydex sheath with a slip that covers the edge and tip of the blade and snaps on tight. This allows you to throw the knife in your hunting pack, keep it at basecamp or store it safely in your kitchen to protect the edge from other tools – and your fingers.

I have used several production and custom kitchen knives over the years. Some were good and some were lacking in small ways. MKC has done an excellent job with this knife. Most all of the aspects of this knife have been well thought out, blade shape, grind, handle shape and countours. This comes through when using such an awsome tool in the kitchen. I especially like how the handle transitions to the blade, it tapers nicely without any sharp edges. If I was to change one thing on this knive it would be to radius the edges of the spine and the choil. The squared edges cause hot spots with prolonged use. This is only an issue when using a knife for hours at a time. I know this would add a step and time to the manufacturing process but it would make this knife as close to perfect as possible. That being said this is one of the best, chef's knives I have ever used. Keep up the excellent work.
This is my first knife from MKC. I’m one of those who heard about it from Rogan.
This knife is big, heavy duty and beautiful. I’m still waiting on the chance to use it on something larger like a roast or turkey, but so far it eats up smaller tasks with ease. Looking forward to using it more!
I love this knife! Badass and great quality.
When I purchased my first knife it had a chip in it. Montana Knife Company had a replacement sent out and delivered within two to three days. My replacement was perfect. I had only used it cutting peppers so far. As of now it is a phenomenal knife worth every penny.
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.
