The Claudette Zepeda 7" Chef’s Knife captures the fearless energy and global flair of the boundary-breaking chef herself. Created in collaboration with Claudette Zepeda—celebrated for her vibrant, cross-cultural cuisine—this limited-edition knife blends pro-level performance with bold personality. The razor-sharp 7" blade delivers precision for everything from mincing garlic to breaking down proteins, while the sculpted handle, inspired by traditional Mexican textiles, embodies heritage and strength. Forged for balance, power, and grace, it’s more than a knife—it’s a celebration of culture, color, and cooking without borders. Proceeds benefit the Southern Smoke Foundation, Claudette’s chosen charity supporting the food and beverage community.
