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.
DETAILED BREAKDOWN OF FEATURES
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.
The Santoku knife scales feature the same versatile G-10 scales as all our flagship knives. A slightly slightly smaller handle than the Chef Knife, makes this comfortable and efficient for any precision cutting, no matter how demanding the job or size of group you’re feeding.
Mareko designed the Santoku Knife’s tip to drop sharply down so owners can easily use it for fine chopping work or precision work like coring an apple. The wide blade also makes it perfect for scooping food off the cutting board.
Angled Heel & Knuckle Clearance
The spine of the MKC Santoku sweeps up, and the wide blade and angled heel provide plenty of hand and knuckle clearance between you and your cutting surface.
LOCKING KYDEX SHEATH
Every Bighorn Chef’s Knife comes equipped with its own custom-molded Kydex sheath with a slip that covers the edge & 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.
