The handling is very comfortable while chopping vegetables. I really like the size and great cutting/slicing ability.

Very sharp but there was a small burr/ding in the edge of the blade. Bummer because I was excited to start using it right away since it was gift. I had to sharpen the knife to get it out, but after that it was great. Comfortable hold and smooth cut.

I absolutely love that this line has the 6-inch chef’s knife. It’s always great to have the big 8-inch knife for large items, but for short people with small hands, it’s way easier to stand at a counter and have a small option. Plus the knifes are wonderfully made, very sharp and strong. Would highly recommend this model and especially this 6-inch knife!

My daughter loves the 6″ knife. It’s perfect size for her to use and practice with.I like the blade shape and the classic handle. Good value. Great knife for young cooks to start with!

The only knives I ever owned before this one lost their sharpness very quickly, and ended up rusting over despite ostensibly being rustproof. So far this knife seems to be holding up really well. Its construction is solid and it cuts very easily. My hope is that it will hold up for years to come.

Love this one for its durability and how it feels when cutting and slicing. It is great for nearly every job in the kitchen and use it every day. I prefer the 6″ as opposed to 7 or 8″ Chef, as it feels more comfortable in my smaller hand and has more control and balance.

This knife is the perfect knife for my smaller hands. It is nicely weighted and very sharp. It cuts tomatoes with ease. It is going to be my goto knife for most of my cooking needs.

The 6″ chef has been a great size for my kids as they venture into cooking. It’s not as large in their hands as the 8″ chef or as intimidating. This one knife allows them to do almost anything. Good quality, a knife they will eventually move with them when they have their own kitchens.

I’ve had Henckels Classic knives for more than 20 years. They have made many great meals. The 6-inch chef’s knife is a great place to start owning the line. It will do most of the chopping, dicing, and mincing work in the kitchen. Add a paring knife and bread knife, and 99% of your basic cooking needs are met. These are forged knives made of quality German steel. They sharpen up nicely. Great value.

It is smaller than I have expected but it works great. It is very sharp so be aware!

We have never invested in quality knives and what a difference this makes!

Being a small stature person, I found traditional chef knives to feel uncomfortable in my hand. This 6′ chef knife is perfect for all the kitchen tasks I do. Made in Spain of German steel, this knife has kept a sharp edge for months. Comfortable handle, bolster style allow for a professional chef result.

The classic line is made from German steel with a fully forged bolsters (middle of the knife). If your nervous using a 8″ chef, this knife will be a perfect substitution. Its perfect for every task.
