MAC Professional Series Chef's Knife 9.5" (MBK-95)

Professional chefs around the world have trusted MAC knives for decades. The 9.5" Chef's knife is made with high carbon chrome Molybdenum steel with vanadium, a super-hard steel that resists rust and corrosion. It's 59-61 Rockwell hardness, which means it will hold its edge for a long time, and the riveted handle is constructed of resin Pakkawood, which provides added weight and balance to the knife. The blade angle on this knife is 15 degrees, making it perfect for slicing through meats such as duck breast or salmon without tearing through them. And because it's made in Japan with a 25-year warranty, you can be sure you're buying quality.
