KNIFE UTILIZED

 

WHAT MAKES IT SPECIAL
Designed by Chef Zepeda

Claudette Zepeda—a fearless, James Beard–nominated chef celebrated for her bold Mexican cuisine—co-designed this knife aimed at bringing a distinctly female perspective to a male-dominated world. In her words:

“Femininity has been missing in the knife world… Working with Messermeister gives me an opportunity to create a knife that can truly be a woman’s knife.”

Social Impact

20% (or more) of profits go to No Us Without You, a charity supporting undocumented restaurant workers. As of August 2024, they assisted over 700 families in LA monthly. This aligns closely with Zepeda’s passion for food justice and gender equity.

The Claudette Zepeda knife is more than just a tool—it’s a statement. It blends high-end materials, thoughtful construction, and a meaningful purpose, all wrapped in a collaborative chef vision. Ideal if you value both performance and purpose, and want a knife with heart.
