If you want a knife that can pare, peel, slice, and chop while fitting in the palm of your hand, pick up one of these little choppers and take it for a spin. Perfect for cooks who prefer smaller blades, or who just want a lil guy that’s the perfect size for chopping herbs and meals for two.

The blade is handforged and precision-ground from 52100 carbon steel. This ball-bearing steel, developed by German engineers, is tougher and stronger than other carbon steel alloys. As a consequence, your blade will stay sharp longer, providing a perfect meat and veggie chopping experience every day.

This carbon steel blade will develop a beautiful patina over time. Every food you chop adds its own color to your blade, and no two patinas look alike–your knife’s patina will tell the story of your kitchen and the meals you’ve made yourself and the people you love.

The chopper’s handle is carved from American boxelder maple (Acer negundo), secured with marine-grade epoxy and brass pins. The naturally marbled wood has been dyed with colorful highlights, and is vacuum-stabilized with an acrylic solution that makes it impervious to water and oils. This process ensures it will last a lifetime in even the most demanding kitchen.

Care instructions

Every knife comes with a care instruction card that explains how to keep your knife at top performance for the rest of your life. Carbon steel knives should be hand washed (no dishwasher), hand dried, and stored in a dry place to prevent rust. The wooden handle’s finish can be refreshed periodically with butcherblock wax.
