This knife will soon become your favorite for almost every food preparation task. Its unique ergonomic design hands you superior strength and precision. The handle of this versatile kitchen knife sits above the blade for a more comfortable angle and improved balance.
The razor-sharp German stainless steel blade uses your weight to make tough cuts with ease.

FAQs
Why is the handle on top?
The top handle is excellent for 2 reasons. 1 - It allows you to push directly down to make the cut, greatly reducing the amount of wrist strength you have to use. 2- The long blade is partially under your hand so your grip is much closer to the tip, giving you more precise control.
Is this a quality knife?
Yes! We work with a manufacturer of high-end chef knives to produce LB Cutlery products. We use quality materials and design them to last for decades.

Our Story
If We Had the Right Knife Design, We Wouldn't Need Rules About How to Hold It
In chef training, there are all these rules about how to hold your knife.
"Don’t put your finger over the blade."
"Move forward on the handle and pinch."
"Use a claw grip."
What if the knife put your hands in the correct place to start? If it gave you both control and strength? If it put your wrist at a natural angle?
You wouldn’t need rules because the knife would fit your hand instinctively. That’s why LB Cutlery makes knives that make sense to your hands.
We're a small company in Long Beach California. We started this project after we couldn't buy the knives we wanted anywhere. So we've made them! The products we sell are the products we use every day. We hope you like them too!
