Moe Cason Signature EDC Every Day Chef Knife

The Moe Cason EDC Every Day Chef is a compact, highly agile fixed-blade knife developed for precise food preparation at home, outdoors and around the barbecue. Its 4½-inch blade provides the versatility of a chef knife in a smaller format, while the larger handle offers a secure, controlled grip.

Developed with pitmaster Moe Cason, the EDC features a full-tang construction, with the steel extending through the entire handle. Combined with its 4 mm spine, this creates an extremely tough and durable knife while retaining the balance and manoeuvrability required for accurate cutting.

The blade uses a Japanese VG-10 cutting core hardened to 60 HRC ±1, clad with 33 layers of stainless Damascus steel on each side for a 67-layer construction in total. VG-10 was selected for its combination of edge retention, corrosion resistance and durability, providing a fine cutting edge while remaining practical for regular use.

A hand-hammered surface and partially titanium-plated finish give the blade its distinctive appearance. The hammered recesses also help reduce contact between food and the blade while cutting.

The handle is made from G10, a strong, water-resistant composite selected for its durability and secure grip. Its purpose-designed shape sits naturally in the hand and helps maintain precise control without unnecessary grip pressure.

Each knife is supplied with an individually made safety-orange thermoplastic sheath with belt clip and a premium storage bag.
