When we launched MKC, we started with the Blackfoot blade because we wanted a great, all-purpose knife. We took the same approach with our culinary knives. The foundation of every great kitchen is a favorite chef’s knife, so we created the Bighorn, an 8- inch chef’s knife that can handle everything from carving a Thanksgiving turkey to dicing up cherry tomatoes to coring an apple. If you only have one knife in your kitchen, this is the knife you want.

MAGNACUT STAINLESS STEEL

MAGNACUT Stainless Steel

As a cryogenically heat-treated stainless steel, MAGNACUT provides the perfect blend of toughness, edge retention, and corrosion resistance.

Unlike other stainless steel blades, MAGNACUT can be easily resharpened — even by novice knife owners. More wear-resistant than other stainless steels, and more corrosion-resistant than carbon steel, MAGNACUT is in a class of its own.Learn more about MAGNACUT Stainless Steel from the creator: Larrin Thomas.

Ergonomic Handle

It was important to us that our chef’s knife have an incredibly comfortable, ergonomic handle – because the relationship you have with this tool is through the handle.

With zero hotspots and zero sharp corners, this knife will stay comfortable in your hand whether you’re chopping a few vegetables or using it for long prep sessions.

Knuckle Clearance

Mareko designed the Bighorn’s cutting edge profile so that when it rests flat on a cutting surface.

It gives the handle a nice upsweep to provide much more knuckle clearance than you typically see.

Angled Heel

The unusual way the heel angles back down towards your fingers is a key design element that makes this knife unique.

This purposeful design takes what usually counts as wasted space on a blade and puts it to work as a guard for your fingers, and even making the blade feel shorter than it is.

Exclusive MKC Kydex Sheath

Each Bighorn Chef comes with a USA Made, custom MKC Kydex sheath.

The sheath features a built-in retention screw to customize blade tension and allow for handle-down carrying. The Bighorn Chef sheath comes with a single-direction snap that prevents the knife from coming out of the sheath by accident and haptic feedback when sheathing or removing the blade.

Free Sharpening For Life & Beyond

Generations® is our promise to restore your knife to its original, unmatched working condition.

MKC will clean, sharpen, repair, and even reshape your blades when necessary, as well as rewrapping handles free of charge.

While we perform all necessary sharpening and maintenance, our aim is not to return your knife to its brand new appearance. Learn more about MKC Generations Promise.

Great knife

Great balance and extremely sharp! I can’t wait to get my next MKC.

Thanks for the review Brandon! Happy cooking!

Impressive Knife

The Bighorn Chef Knife is an impressive knife. Has good weight and is well balanced in your hand. Will be used and talked about this Holiday Season. Thanks.

Glad you think so! The Bighorn can take on any tasks you will need it for in the kitchen, all while being comfortable to use. Thanks for the review!

Badass knife!

What an amazing product built from a fantastic company dedicated to building products in the USA. This is my second knife (had the santoku previously) and this is just as striking visually and sharp. This is a show stopper and my go to for anything around the kitchen.

Thanks TR! Glad you are loving the culinary knives - sounds like you need to add the Petty to complete your set!!

Great knife

Excellent Tool

I have used several production and custom kitchen knives over the years. Some were good and some were lacking in small ways. MKC has done an excellent job with this knife. Most all of the aspects of this knife have been well thought out, blade shape, grind, handle shape and countours. This comes through when using such an awsome tool in the kitchen. I especially like how the handle transitions to the blade, it tapers nicely without any sharp edges. If I was to change one thing on this knive it would be to radius the edges of the spine and the choil. The squared edges cause hot spots with prolonged use. This is only an issue when using a knife for hours at a time. I know this would add a step and time to the manufacturing process but it would make this knife as close to perfect as possible. That being said this is one of the best, chef's knives I have ever used. Keep up the excellent work.
