Traditional European chef’s knives are big, heavy and awkward because they evolved from Middle Ages daggers, which were designed for personal defense, not kitchen work. There’s good reason its so hard to prep a tidy dice.

Our solution was to look toward Japan, where there’s a long history—and huge range—of smartly designed kitchen knives grown out of swordmaking. By design, Japanese knives are thinner, lighter and task specific—separate blade styles, for meats, fish, vegetables, etc. Based on these knives and our own cooking experience, we developed an all-new modern chef’s knife that’s remarkably easy to use. It’s the Milk Street Kitchin-to, part cleaver and part vegetable knife. It can handle small jobs such as slicing garlic but also makes heavy-duty jobs a breeze. With the Kitchin-to, you let the knife do the work!

This is a Limited edition, premium run of our tried-and-true Milk Street Kitchin-To knife. It features a high-end Japanese AUS8 steel blade specially treated with a non-stick “Tsuchime” hammered surface and a gorgeously grained cocobolo wood handle. And it comes with a custom saya, or knife guard, to keep your blade keen and protect it in storage. Consider it an heirloom-quality tool to pass on to the next generation.

Net Weight: 200 grams
Blade Length: 7.48 inches
Materials:
-Blade: High-end Japanese AUS8 steel blade specially treated with a non-stick “Tsuchime” hammered surface
-Handle: Cocobolo wood

The knife must be washed by hand and dried after each use.
To maintain the blade's edge, sharpen the Premium Kitchin-to at a 17 degree angle.

Our tried-and-true design with premium materials:

  1. Stays Razor Sharp

    Ultra high-quality Japanese AUS8 steel is renowned for durability, corrosion resistance and edge retention lasts a lifetime with regular honing.

  2. Safer

    The tall blade and rounded sheepsfoot tip shields fingers.

  3. Hammered Surface

    The blade’s “Tsuchime” surface treatment prevents foods from clinging to the blade by trapping air.

  4. Premium Cocobolo Ergonomic Grip

    An ultra-dense, very durable and gorgeously grained cocobolo handle fills the palm for a secure grip.

  5. Lightweight and Easy Sharpening

    Without the thick, heavy bolster of a Western-style chef’s knife. the Kitchin-to is lightweight and easy to evenly sharpen.

  6. Handles Big and Small Jobs

    The Kitchin-to offers power when you need it but is also great at smaller tasks such as chopping shallot or slicing garlic.

Change The Way You Cook

6 Reasons the Premium Kitchin-to Deserves to Be In Your Rotation

Become a More Confident Cook

The tall blade makes this knife safer for prepwork. Your fingers are a long way from the cutting edge unlike with most chef’s knives.

A Uniquely Ergonomic Handle Makes Chopping Fun (Not a Chore)

A graduated angle where the handle meets the blade reduces strain on the hands even after chopping enough vegetables for an army.

Get Your Prepwork Done Faster and Easier

The thinness of the knife requires less effort to cut through tough items like potatoes, carrots and butternut squash.

Premium Materials for Heirloom Quality

Top-quality high-quality blade steel and dense cocobolo handle means you’ll be passing this knife on to your children.

One Knife For Any use; No Extra Tool Needed

The Kitchin-to’s versatile design means it fills the role of cleaver, chef’s knife and utility knife. And with the broad blade you can transfer chopped foods to the pan—you’ll never need to put the knife down.

Even Though It’s a New Shape, It’s Familiar Enough For Seasoned Cooks

A slight curve in the blade’s belly makes it easy to transition to this knife for tasks like rock chopping.

GREAT VALUE, EXCELLENT KNIFE, COMFORTABLE

Great value, excellent knife, comfortable and luxurious handle, razor sharp, even grind, wonderful fit and finish, hammered texture very effective for reducing sticking to the blade. Profile enables rocking cutting motion but back end of the blade is flatter for push cutting, so very flexible regardless of preference. Haven't sharpened it yet so cRead more about review stating Great value, excellent knife, comfortableannot speak to that. Nor can I speak to the durability of the edge....this isn't the highest end steel, but for the average home cook it won't matter much. For a professional it would matter more. Regularly honing or stropping and the home cook will be fine. Didn't know what to expect quite honestly when I ordered, but I really love this knife, worth the money if you will take care of it.

BEST KNIFE IN MY COLLECTION

The heft is a perfect grip. The blade is so sharp. It cuts flawlessly and effortlessly. The wood cover is such a neat touch. Just bumps the knife up to a whole different level. So elegant.

NO STOPPING TO PULL FOOD OFF THE BLADE.

The knife is sharp and feels comfortable in my hand. The hammered "non-stick" blade surface is the unique feature. Slices of mozzarella and vegetables fall from the blade. No more stopping to pull food off the blade.

The Kitchin-to's Premium Steel Blade Makes Prepwork Enjoyable

Broad Blade

The broad, arced blade makes slicing and dicing onions easy.

Hammered Surface

The hammered blade surface means foods don’t cling while slicing, like when slicing potatoes.

Lightweight

The broad blade is still lightweight enough for detail work, like shaving the tough skin off pineapple without taking too much of the flesh with it.

The Only Tool You Need

Once you’ve done your chopping, the broad blade is effective as a bench scraper to scoop up and transfer foods to the sauté pan or soup pot.

Handles Big Jobs

The long, arced blade makes it easy to slice through large cuts of meats for soups, stews or braises.
