Ergon 8" Japanese Damascus Steel Chef knife with G-10 Handle

Aristotle believed that work (ergon) is the means by which human beings find personal happiness and fulfillment. In his best known work on ethics, Aristotle argued for the science of good for human life. What sets humanity aside from other species, Aristotle believed, is the human being’s capacity to guide our lives through reason and meaningful action, or work. If we use reason well over the course of a lifetime, we will be happy.

“ Living well consists of activities of the rational part of the soul in accordance with virtue.” — Aristotle 

We believe a Chef’s work is among the most esteemed forms of artistry and meaningful action there is. The Chef prepares the fuel every body needs to maintain life, and they do so in a way that nourishes the soul as much as it nourishes the body. With fine artistry, the Chef chops and slices vegetables into sizable bites with pleasing textures. And it is with intuitive knowledge that they season the food in such a way that excites the taste buds. That’s why we named this highly respectable Japanese Damascus steel Chef knife, Ergon, in honor of that which brings men and women a sense of purpose in life, their work. 

Our 8” Japanese Damascus Steel Chef Knife will energize your ordinary cooking routine. Forged from 67 layers of AUS10, imported Japanese Damascus steel, this knife can chop through vegetables with ease. The high carbon content gives this knife an incredibly sharp and durable edge that’s easy to sharpen when needed.
