Messerforge x Richard Custom Knives – VG10 Chef’s Knife
This limited-production VG10 chef knife is the result of a design collaboration between Justin Richard of Richard Custom Knives and Messerforge. While manufactured by Messerforge, every detail—from the profile to the handle shape—was carefully developed in partnership with Justin Richard to reflect his aesthetic and functional priorities as a custom knifemaker.
The 8.25" blade is made from VG10 stainless steel, a high-performance Japanese steel prized for its edge retention, durability, and corrosion resistance. A 2" heel height ensures excellent knuckle clearance, making this knife a versatile tool for prep work of all kinds.
The handle is crafted from richly toned ebony wood, shaped for comfort and control. A stainless bolster adds balance and a clean, modern finish.
This knife blends the accessibility of production with the thoughtful design elements of custom work—delivering a tool that performs beautifully in any kitchen.
