A 210mm chef knife is a type of kitchen knife that is about 210 millimeters long, which is approximately 8.27 inches. These knives are often used by chefs and home cooks for various kitchen tasks, including slicing, dicing, chopping, and mincing. They offer a good balance between the versatility of a longer knife and the control of a shorter one, making them a popular choice for many culinary enthusiasts.
My Name is David Hoehler, I’m a full-time knifemaker based in Sheffield Beach on the North Coast of KZN South Africa. Without a doubt, I’ve been obsessed with knives for as long as I can remember. I got my first Swiss army knife at age 6 and have had a knife in my pocket ever since. I started making knives in 2014.
My first career was as a professional Chef. I was a chef for 8 years. I have spent thousands of hours knife in hand, hence my love for them. I always found that the average production knife left much desired. This has given me so much insight into how they are used and should perform.
Now I make knives that I would use in the kitchen.
I’m a one-person operation; I do everything from start to finish completely handmade. I can offer a selection of designs that will cover any cooking task. My favourite knife is the classic 8”/210mm chef knife.
As far as chef knife makers go in South Africa I’m one of the top makers that produce at volume with a high level of fit and finish.
For customers not from South Africa, I would recommend heading to my international knife purveyor www.bladegallery.com, They handle all my international clients and have stock immediately available.
I genuinely love what I do for a living and with all the years of experience, I have gathered, I try to make the best quality knife possible.
