Amazon.com

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

Love The Henckels 6 inch Chef's Knife
I love this Henckels 6 inch chef's knife!! It's a home run, heck it's a grand slam home run. Been using it for nine days now, every day. I've made three large pots (2 chili, 1 soup) for work, cut all the fresh vegetables with this knife. I keep it out on the cutting board all the time, use it for everything even popping open packages, whatever. Still very very sharp. The blade is hot dropped forged which is a modern form of blacksmithing using dies. Much stronger and beautiful blade, you can feel the difference plus with a solid bolster. And they stay sharper much longer than stamped blades. I was going to wait and review it after the knife lost some of its edge and see how it sharpened up but that could take forever. Forged bladed knives are usually going to get expensive, yet this is priced fairly reasonable.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!!
