Step up your steak game with this Michelin-starred knife

If anyone knows the value of a good knife, it's a Michelin-starred chef. But what happens when they can't find any that can put up with the calibur of their skill? Well if you're Charles Yves, you make your own.

Realizing the traditional place setting table knives people were using to eat his and others' top-notch grub around Paris weren't up to snuff (so much so that his culinary pals even opted to cut bites with their own folding pocket knives instead), he made it his mission to fix the problem. So, in collaboration with the high end French knifemaker Perceval, he came up with the idea for the 9.47, an ergonomic, simple, and dependable utensil that was equally good at cutting soft white squid as it was thick steak.

In order to be all of those things, they're fashioned entirely by hand from cryogenically treated steel and thermoplastic, both known for their ability to resist wear & tear and "fatigue".
