Cooks with small hands find this version of the classic French chef's knife fits. The broad blade with its curved cutting edge rocks easily through chopping tasks. Henckels' International Classic is a moderately priced cutlery line made in countries other than the company's home of Germany. The steel is of lesser quality than that used in its premier lines. Also, the handles are narrower and shallower. While this chef's knife is dishwasher-safe, hand washing is recommended. --Fred Brack

The Henckels looked a bit small out of the box because my 8" Victorinox has such a broad blade. The handle is smaller but not an issue for me and my hands are larger than average. I posted some photos for the sake of comparison. Turns out I just love the size of this knife-- handy and usable.
I enjoy the process of cutting and chopping fresh ingredients (and eating better and healthier), so much more with a nice knife... First photo is the 6" Henckels, the second is an old 6" Chicago Cutlery utility knife above and the 8" Victorinox below. Check the bolster on the Henckels. Third photo of a large grapefruit just cut up. I rate the Henckels a buy!!

Light weight and comfortable
Our knife packaging and the handle had an annoying scent maybe because it was from the warehouse and disinfected with a scented product.
Top reviews from other countries
The feel in the hand, and the incredibly sharp blade that makes precision cutting a breeze.
It's the best knife I own.
The tank and plastic parts are not assembled tight, still has a gap in between. Plus a chip in the plastic.
The size and its shape are exactly what I looked for, so I just use it anyway.
