J.A. Henckels International Classic 6-Inch Stainless-Steel Chef's Knife

This Henckels Chef Knife is the perfect size to use for just about anything you do in the kitchen. It is a wonderful starter piece to the Henckels collection of knives.

I never have to work with a dull knife again, this Chef's knife keeps a sharp blade longer than any of the other brands I have used, and it is not a difficult process to sharpen and maintain it, as well.

This knife has always been known for the highest quality of knives, this price is a steal.

UPDATE (eight months later): I compared this knife to a top-of-the-line 6" knife that's twice the price and returned the expensive knife. The Henckels International was lighter, a bit sharper, had a thinner blade (slicing a bit more cleanly), and half as expensive! If I need another 6", I'm ordering this one. One reviewer of the 8" model of this knife also noted that this 6" is outstanding for the price.

Have had this knife for a couple months. I think I made a great purchase, and I use it for cutting raw chicken and veggies.

Pros:

High-quality, solid feel and construction, forged (not stamped)

Sharpest knife we own, easy to hone (much sharper than a stamped 8-inch chef's knife that was 1/3 the price)

Easy to handle because of the 6" size

Pretty decent with cuts of meat

Not SO sharp that you worry about your spouse accidentally cutting themselves

Cons:

Need to hand-dry this after washing or it will stain a bit like many knives

Veggies stick to knife like any other flat blade

For big bundles of veggies, 6 inches may not be big enough

So far, we are very happy with the knife and will probably order the larger version.

I am a line-cook for a Restaurant. I use this knife alot. It gets places a "Henckels 8" chef knife" can not get in to. It has great balance and stays sharp for a long time. It is a great little knife.

Want J.A. Henckels International Classic 6-Inch Stainless-Steel Chef's Knife Discount?

I just loved this knife I have a small hand, and this one fits perfectly I always clean all my knives by hand, and so was surprised the last time I used the knife to see the handle had a huge crack in it (by the first rivet. The knife is only two years old, so I'm disappointed. I got it on sale and didn't save the receipt... maybe I can get it replaced if I write directly to J.A. Henkels International. Anyone with any suggestions on how to get this knife repaired????
