Benchmade 8" ODG / Black Chef Knife, - 4025BK-01

This full-size chef knife is offered as a standalone fixed blade, engineered to support controlled slicing, chopping, dicing, and crushing tasks in kitchen and field environments. The blade is manufactured from CPM-154 stainless steel using a SelectEdge grinding process, paired with a false edge grind that enhances tip control and cutting efficiency across a wide range of food-preparation techniques. A DLC-coated blade surface improves wear resistance and reduces friction during extended contact with proteins and produce.The handle is constructed from G10 to provide structural rigidity and a secure, stable grip during repetitive motions, reinforced by a contrasting bolster section for balanced handling. The overall geometry prioritizes forward cutting power while maintaining precision for fine work. Included with the knife is a folded and riveted Boltaron blade guard that protects the edge during transport and storage, supporting safe carry and extended blade life in professional kitchens, camps, or mobile food-prep setups.
