Another knife added to the collection: The Männkitchen MK9 and it’s a huge one. By far the biggest knife in the collection. Especially the height is a lot higher wich gives a lot of clearance for your fingers.

It’s made of US X63 Nitrogen steel giving it a Rockwell Hardness grade of 63 H.R.C. That’s for now the hardest knife I own.

Some specs from the site:

• US-Made X63 Nitrogen Steel: Surgical sharpness, exceptional edge retention and superb corrosion resistance.  Hardness up to 63 HRC
• More Blade: Longer and wider than standard chef knife blades.  Increases knuckle clearance, eases food transfer and extends the useful life of the blade.
• Large Ergonomic Handle: Fits every adult, INCLUDING those with large hands. Full-tang triple riveted with indestructible G10 scales providing nonslip comfort that will last a lifetime.
• All The Right Curves: Convex spine profile creates a more natural wrist position and rounded spine reduces friction and hot spots.
• Micro Bolster: The safety and comfort of a full bolster while still allowing easy sharpening from point to heel.
