Features

  • Hot-Drop Forged Blades from the very best German Steel, our full-tang Premier Forged blades are polished and sharpened in our Massachusetts facilities. Handles of exotic imported hardwoods and acrylics are assembled to the blades with triple rivets and then the knives are processed and sharpened to perfection.
  • Signature Craftsmanship. Meticulously formed in our Massachusetts facilities, each of our knives is finished to perfection using state-of-the-art technology coupled with hand finishing as well as proprietary polishing and sharpening processes.
  • Unmatched Blade Quality. Blades are precision-forged from the finest high-carbon Grade 4116 stainless steel from Solingen, Germany, using the traditional hot-drop method. Blades are then tempered and ice-hardened to a perfect 58 on the Rockwell Hardness Scale. This results in a hard, wickedly sharp blade that retains an edge for longer and is both highly corrosion-resistant and elastic.
  • Gorgeous & Ergonomic Handles. Choose from one of our 3 distinctive sleek and sturdy handles.
    • Fire – Tough Acrylic handles, water resistant with unique fire infusion coloring
    • Midnight – Ultra tough Black G-10 handles that are highly impervious to moisture and heat. Midnight Honing Steel handles are constructed of extremely strong POM material.
    • Walnut – Classic solid walnut handles with a classical look and feel.
  • Superior Handling & Cutting Performance. Full tang blades with smooth integrated front bolster and triple-riveted handles ensure ideal strength, perfect balance and weight. Our combination machine and hand-sharpening processes ensure a consistently ultra-sharp and durable edge.
  • Lifetime Warranty. Every Lamson product comes with a Lifetime Warranty against manufacturing defects
  • Guaranteed reliability. Our Sharp for Life™ program supplies a lifetime of complimentary professional sharpening on every knife we make.

Nice Classic Chef's Knife

This is a beautiful knife with a nice classic profile. It arrived sharp and has a good cutting feel. It is well balanced and feels good in the hand. That being said my particular copy had what I saw as a slight flaw. The edge was ground slightly below the bolster, leaving a little point on the end of the bolster. I have the 10" version of this knife and it is not like that. Lamson customer service was awesome. They provided a shipping label and refunded my credit card once they received and processed the return. I will not knock any starts off for this as they took care of it, and it is a nice knife. I call it a fluke.

Excellent 8” Chef’s Knife

I have used this knife to cut raw carrots, potatoes, onions and broccoli. Super sharp and easy to use. I was also able to cut through a package of frozen chopped turkey meat is it was a breeze. I own several 8” Chef’s knives from Wusthof, Henckels and Cutco. This Lamson 8” Chef is my favorite and a must have for all kitchens.

I'm SO SAD!

I didn't realize the Ice handle line was going away!!! I have pieces from both Fire and Ice. I hope something just as wonderful will replace it.

Beautiful Knife

I went down a chef knife rabbit hole while researching and stumbled upon Lamson who happens to be made only a few hours from my house. So far I’ve only used this knife once but was really happy with it. Sharp right out of the box, nice balance and profile. If I had to fault anything I wish the handle was a little wider for my big hands and it’s such a nice looking knife I’m afraid to use it! I’ve submitted a video review as well but so far I’d definitely recommend this knife.
