SHOP CASE KNIVESThe White River Liong Mah Chef Knife is a high-performance kitchen tool built for serious culinary work. Born from a collaboration between White River Knives and acclaimed designer Liong Mah, this chef's knife blends refined aesthetics with rugged function. Mah, a former New York City chef, poured his experience into the design, focusing on balance, control, and reliability—qualities professional chefs demand and home cooks appreciate.
At the heart of this knife is a 7.5” drop point blade crafted from CPM MagnaCut steel, known for its superior edge retention, toughness, and corrosion resistance. The blade’s stonewash finish adds a rugged touch while helping reduce surface reflection and hiding scratches from heavy use. Whether you’re dicing onions, slicing proteins, or tackling tougher prep work, the razor-sharp edge holds up through it all.
Built for comfort over long prep sessions, the full-tang construction is fitted with ergonomic handle scales made from maple and black Richlite. The handle's modern interpretation of the classic Japanese octagonal shape provides a secure, natural grip that tapers slightly to promote hand alignment and reduce fatigue. At 12” in overall length and weighing just 6.2 ounces, this knife strikes a balance between agility and substance.
Every aspect of the Liong Mah Chef Knife was considered with the working chef in mind. Its streamlined profile moves effortlessly through ingredients, making it a go-to blade for a wide range of kitchen tasks. From fine slicing to heavy chopping, this knife offers the precision and performance you expect from American craftsmanship.
Proudly made in the USA, the White River Liong Mah Chef Knife stands as a testament to premium materials, thoughtful design, and lasting durability. Whether you're building your first quality cutlery collection or upgrading your current setup, this knife delivers professional-grade reliability in a refined, rugged package.
