A Chef&';s Knife Built for Hunters and Pro Chefs. 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.
