FAQs

What makes the Hast 8” Chef Knife different from other chef knives?

The Hast 8” Chef Knife combines award-winning minimalist design with an ultra-sharp, long-lasting edge made from advanced powder steel and premium Japanese high-carbon stainless steel (Japanese origin). It delivers professional-level performance in a sleek, crevice-free form. Engineered for balance, comfort, and easy maintenance—no gimmicks, just precision. The high-polished satin finish adds a light, premium look while resisting stains.

Is this knife suitable for beginners or just pros?

The Hast 8-inch Chef Knife is loved by culinary experts and Michelin-starred chefs worldwide. As the winner of the 2020 Good Housekeeping Best Kitchen Gear Award, it was the only knife to earn a perfect 5/5 rating across all judging criteria. At the same time, its Red Dot Award–winning design blends minimalist, forward-looking aesthetics with balanced, premium construction — making it intuitive and accessible for beginners as well.

Is the knife razor-sharp out of the box?

Yes. Every Hast knife is hand-sharpened by experienced knife masters to meet the highest industry standard. It’s ready to slice through anything—from ripe tomatoes to thick cuts of meat. You’ll feel the difference from the very first cut.

What kind of steel is used in Hast knives?

Hast Edition Series knives are made from a patented powder steel alloy with exceptionally high hardness and yield strength. The Hast Selection Series uses premium high-carbon stainless steel sourced from Japan. Both are engineered and crafted to the highest industry standards for superior sharpness, edge retention, stain resistance, and a smooth, precise cutting experience.

Is it dishwasher safe?

We recommend hand washing and drying immediately to preserve the edge and finish. Think of it as a high-performance tool—the humidity and turbulence of dishwashers can damage the steel and compromise the fine edge over time.

Is the handle comfortable for long prep sessions?

Yes. The seamless, ergonomic handle is designed for comfort and control, even during extended prep. No rivets, no joints—just a perfectly balanced grip whether you're dicing veggies or breaking down protein.

How often do I need to sharpen it?

Hast knives are engineered for superior edge retention, so they stay sharp longer—saving you the hassle of frequent sharpening.

Can I sharpen it at home?

Absolutely. The Hast 8” Chef Knife is compatible with most whetstones and home sharpeners with fine grit. No special tools are required—just a little care now and then. For best results, we recommend using the Hast ceramic sharpening rod, specially developed for our blades. A few gentle strokes are all it takes to restore the edge to razor-sharp precision. Prefer a pro touch? You can also send your knife to a professional knife smith for sharpening.

What kind of cutting board should I use?

Use wood or soft plastic cutting boards to protect the edge. Avoid hard surfaces like glass, ceramic, or marble—those can dull any knife, even a Hast.

Will it rust or stain?

Our steel is highly corrosion-resistant and designed to resist staining—even with acidic ingredients. Just rinse, dry, and you’re good to go.

What kind of finishing is used on the knife?

Each Hast knife is precision-finished with a smooth satin surface that resists fingerprints and enhances its refined, minimalist aesthetic. It’s available in multiple finishes, including Graphite, Silver, and Gold — all designed to complement modern kitchens.

What if I don’t like it?

We offer a 30-day Money-Back Guarantee — no questions asked. If it’s not the best knife you’ve ever used, simply send it back. Just note that return shipping costs are the responsibility of the customer.
