The Baja Chef Knife Collection - Set of 6
Regular price $1,015ONLY 8 SETS BEING MADE AVAILABLE!
I remember when I first spoke to a professional chef about what types of knives he uses. Without thinking, he said, "Town Cutler, hands-down. They make some amazing knives." In a short amount of time, I was speaking with Galen Garretson, the founder of Town Cutler and a former chef himself. I'm proud to be working with Galen. Together, we've picked some amazing knives for our Park West London customers. This Baja set is amazing! Imagine cooking for friends and taking this set out? This is one of those cases where you might be looking for a gift (and these would be great), but be truthful; you want a set for yourself, don't you? Honestly, they feel amazing in your hand. I love them. Read more about this Baja set below. - JOHN
3” Paring
A small all-purpose knife ideal for peeling or paring smaller fruits and vegetables, and other small precision work.
Shape: Paring
Blade Length: 3"
Steel: Nitro-V stainless steel with light patina
Handle: Mexican Blanket Especial (G.L. Hansen & Sons) with black Micarta pins

6” Utility
A versatile everyday knife, ideal for peeling, chopping, and fine slicing. Smaller than a chef knife, it's great for switching between different sized fruits and vegetables, achieving more precision control in your cuts, and when working in a tight space.
Shape: Utility
Blade Length: 6"
Steel: Nitro-V stainless steel with light patina
Handle: Mexican Blanket Especial (G.L. Hansen & Sons) with black Micarta pins
HRC: 61
7.5” Chopper
If the 8.5" Chef knife is the "Workhorse," the 7.5" Baja Chopper is the "Bull." With a 2.5" blade height, this knife is excellent for large projects. Rough chopping, slicing meat, or accurate vegetable cuts, this knife will get you through it all. The 27.5-degree drop-point is not only visually appealing; it is fantastic for precision work at the tip. This knife has the thinness and balance of a chef knife to accomplish any job but with added blade height, which helps with straight and accurate cuts.
Shape: Chopper
Blade Length: 7.5"
Steel: Nitro-V stainless steel with light patina
Handle: Mexican Blanket Especial (G.L. Hansen & Sons) with black Micarta pins
HRC: 61
7” Chef
The "Workhorse" must-have knife, designed to perform well at many different kitchen tasks. These chef knives are center-weighted and balance thinness and precision with durability and strength. This 7” chef knife may be preferable for those who feel more comfortable with a slightly smaller blade or those with limited kitchen/counter space.
Shape: Chef
Blade Length: 7"
Steel: Nitro-V stainless steel with light patina
Handle: Mexican Blanket Especial (G.L. Hansen & Sons) with black Micarta pins
HRC: 61
8.5” Chef
Center-weighted and balanced thinness and precision, this knife offers amazing durability and strength. This is the "go to" knife for many. The 8.5” blade, the most popular length, is a size most people are familiar with whether they use Western or Japanese style chef knives. The length of the blade can handle larger projects, as easily as it can be used for everyday cutting.
Shape: Chef
Blade Length: 8.5”
Steel: Nitro-V stainless steel with light patina
Handle: Mexican Blanket Especial (G.L. Hansen & Sons) with black Micarta pins
HRC: 61
10” Slicer
A long, straight, and narrow blade ideal for slicing proteins in one long fluid motion with little restriction. With a minimal amount of flexibility and a small heel, you'll be able to keep your blade straight and achieve flat and even cuts of protein.
Shape: Slicer
Blade Length: 10"
Steel: Nitro-V stainless steel with light patina
Handle: Mexican Blanket Especial (G.L. Hansen & Sons) with black Micarta pins
HRC: 61
Knife Care:
Hand-wash with warm soapy water. Don’t use abrasive sponges, which can scratch the knife. Never put your knife in the dishwasher or leave it soaking in water. After cleaning, use an absorbent towel to dry your knife completely. Paper towels work best. Drying your knife after cleaning will prevent watermarks and rust from forming and keep the handle in good condition. For further protection, keep your knife on a magnetic strip, or in a scabbard, saya, or knife roll.
