BK Chef's Knife Peter Goossens Maestro 19 cm

A good knife makes all the difference - not just in the kitchen, but also in how you cook. With the BK Chef's Knife Peter Goossens Maestro 19 cm, you have an all-round workhorse that effortlessly carries you from breakfast to dinner. Chopping onions, slicing herbs, portioning a piece of meat, or halving a pumpkin: this knife handles it all with ease.

Why this chef's knife will change your kitchen

Imagine: you're cooking, the pan is ready, and your knife slices through your ingredients as if they were air. No force needed, no fiddling, no moment where you curse because it’s not going as you want. That’s what a razor-sharp knife with the right balance does for you. And that’s exactly what the BK Maestro offers - developed in collaboration with three-star chef Peter Goossens, but made for you at home.

• Razor-sharp by nature - The fine cutting angle of 13 degrees and the German Stainless Steel (56 HRC) ensure that this knife glides rather than hacks.
• Balanced in hand - The acacia wood handle feels warm, sturdy, and ergonomic in your palm. Your wrist will thank you.
• Versatile use - From finely chopping fresh herbs to slicing a piece of salmon into beautiful fillets: this knife does it all with equal ease.
• Stays sharp longer thanks to 56 HRC hardness - Harder steel = stays sharp longer. Slice after slice, meal after meal.
• Designed with expert knowledge - Peter Goossens knows what works in a professional kitchen. That craftsmanship is literally built into this knife.

German steel that proves itself

The 19 cm blade is made of high-quality German Stainless Steel with a hardness of 56 HRC. That sounds technical, but you feel it immediately as you start cutting: the knife glides smoothly, precisely, and without resistance. The 13-degree cutting angle is finer than many other chef's knives, meaning the edge is sharper and stays sharp longer. No solid steel that starts to pull after a few months, but a blade that takes its job seriously - just like you in the kitchen.

Whether you’re slicing thin tomato slices for a summer salad or portioning a thick ribeye for a festive dinner: the Maestro knife follows your movement. The total length of 326 mm gives you enough control for large cutting motions, while the 19 cm blade is compact enough for precision work.

The handle that makes the difference

A good knife starts with a good grip - and this one gets it just right. The acacia wood handle is not only stylish in appearance but also functional. Acacia is a hard wood that resists moisture and wear, providing a warm, natural feel that you never get with a plastic handle. The ergonomic shape allows for a balanced, fluid cutting motion. Your hand tires less quickly, and you always feel like the knife is an extension of your arm - not something you have to wrestle with.

That balance - between the weight of the blade and the handle - is exactly what Peter Goossens has incorporated into the design. He knows what it means to stand at the counter for hours. That comfort is translated into this knife, making it something that makes a difference at home every day.

Peter Goossens: craftsmanship for the home kitchen

Peter Goossens is the three-star chef of restaurant Hof van Cleve, one of the best restaurants in Belgium. Associating his name with a knife is not done lightly. The Maestro collection is developed from his years of experience in a professional kitchen: which angle cuts best, which steel is most durable, how should a handle feel after hours of cutting? All those questions have been taken into account in this knife. The result is a chef's knife that feels like professional equipment at home - without the intimidation factor.

For you, that means: cut like the chef, without a course or compromise.

Use and maintenance: how to keep the knife at its best

A good knife also requires a bit of love. Fortunately, that care is simple:

• Hand wash - Not dishwasher safe. Wash the knife after use with warm water and a bit of dish soap, and dry it immediately. This keeps the steel in top condition.
• Do not soak - Do not leave the knife in water. That is not good for the steel and damages the wooden handle.
• Use a wooden chopping board - Avoid glass, metal, or stone surfaces. A wooden or plastic chopping board is gentle on your blade and keeps the edge sharper for longer.
• Sharpen when you notice it’s less gliding - Use a whetstone or honing steel to maintain the edge. This way, you’ll always be slicing sharp.

BK offers a 2-year warranty on this knife - because quality that proves itself is worth guaranteeing.

💡 Cookinglife Tip: Store your chef's knife on a magnetic knife strip or in a knife block - loose in a drawer, other knives can get damaged, and your knife's edge will dull faster. A good storage solution is just as smart an investment as the knife itself.
