Made in Italy with tough Nitro-B Cobalt Steel (Böhler)
Mediterranean olive wood handle with comfortable grip
A sharp 80/20 blade grind with a ballistic clip point
Included magnetic leather knife sheath made in Mexico
Part of the proceeds go to "No Us Without You"
PURPOSE DRIVEN
Claudette Zepeda expresses her unique style in this 7” Chef’s knife collaboration.
The knife design is lightweight and versatile. Its warm olive wood handle has a contoured pommel for a sure, comfortable grip with any sized kitchen task.
Our 80/20 blade grind produces a thin yet rigid blade and the ballistic clip point adds strength to the tip. The swept edge geometry and cambered handle make the knife exceptionally responsive and lively when used on a cutting board.
Staying sharp is key, so we used Nitro-Cobalt steel which will hold a terrific edge that is easy to restore.
Zepeda was eager to partner with a women-run knife company to help bring a female perspective to the table while supporting
No Us Without You,
a cause near and dear to her heart.

CheF CLAUDETTE ZEPEDA
Claudette Zepeda is a James Beard Foundation Award nominee best known for her fearless culinary style and bold approach to Mexican cuisine.
Zepeda was eager to partner with a women-run knife company to help bring a female perspective to the table while supporting No Us Without You, a cause near and dear to her heart.
"I didn't see myself in the knife world," says Zepeda. "I was brought up in Mexico seeing the women cooking, feeding their entire family and selling food at the mercados using these rudimentary bulky metal knives. Working with Messermeister has given me an opportunity to create a knife that can truly feel comfortable in anyone's hand."
TAKING CARE OF YOUR BLADE
This is a special collaboration with Chef Claudette Zepeda. Her knife is special and is meant to be an heirloom piece. Some care is needed for the knife to ensure it lasts.
RULE 1
Hand wash and thoroughly dry.
Avoid using dishwashers.
RULE 2
Clean immediately, especially after cutting salty or acidic foods like tomatoes and citrus.
RULE 3
Regularly apply a light coat of mineral oil using a paper towel to the blade and handle.
NO US
WITHOUT YOU
CHEF CLAUDETTE ZEPEDA'S CHARITY OF CHOICE
Launched with a goal of feeding 30 families a week, No Us Without You LA is currently(As of August 2024) providing food security for over 700 families monthly. Diaz and Nolasco plan on offering food relief packages through 2024(and beyond) as a way to show undocumented BOH workers that they are not forgotten. They are not in the shadows. They are seen, heard, and respected.
As of August 2024, NUWY-LA is serving over 700 families (2,800 humans) quarterly at no cost to them.
The Forge Initiative is a collaboration between Messermeister and chefs to create innovative products. A portion of the proceeds goes to non-profit organizations chosen by the chefs.
Messermeister believes in giving back beyond the kitchen. Supporting non-profits has always been a core part of our identity. Over the years, we have partnered with various non-profit organizations. However, we wanted to establish partnerships that allow us to craft truly unique knives with our favorite chefs while making an even bigger impact.
