Wood 6 Inch Chef's Knife, Straight Edge, Wood Handle

Lightweight and very sharp.

Much sharper than I expected, this rivals even my Shun knives for sharpness at a fraction of the price! The knife is very light, but balanced. The handle is large and comfortable to hold. A very easy to handle knife overall. My only concern is how well the knife will hold it's edge, but so far I'm very satisfied. An excellent knife at an excellent price.

My family has always used full tang knives which have metal throughout the entire handle. You can get a full set of cheap full tang knives for the cost of just this knife so I thought this would really have to be good. When I first used this knife I thought there was something wrong with it, it felt so much lighter than anything I’ve used. Now I prefer it. Once you are used to the shape, balance and weight, this knife is an excellent tool to have in the kitchen. It’s still sharp a year after I bought it but it could probably use a sharpening. Looking back I may have considered the plastic handle for this. I love the wood but I’m unsure if it’s worth $20 for the same knife. I just ordered the Victorinox steak knives which are only plastic handles (unless you spend a lot) and if I had gotten the plastic version of this, it would match. Oh well.

All the Victorinox kitchen knives are great for the price. I've paid a lot more for kitchen knives but I only use the Victorinox knives now. They hold their edge well, even on a blade that is so thin that I can slice a tomato transparently thin. That's when I really enjoy the Victorinox knives. They make great $50 gifts for friends and family but I always warn them that these knives are sharp and easy to keep sharp.

I have to start by saying, I don't get attached to household tools, but this thing... wow. Out of the box it aced the popular paper test with no problem. When I went to cut up an apple for my kids, I was amazed how it slid through the fruit with almost no pressure. I was cutting wafer-thin slices, the likes of which I didn't know were possible. It's been a month since I bought the knife and outside of a few small dings in it, it's still cutting fruit and veggies like a champ. I'm able to cut ridiculously thin carrot strips and mince garlic, onions, and peppers like a pro. It's turned our Hello Fresh meals into an absolute joy to make. Long story short: Life's too short to use dull kitchen knives. I didn't know it was possible to get emotional about a kitchen knife, but here we are. I should have bought this so much sooner.

A sharp knife that is easy to sharpen time and time again. I use this knife at work to prep vegetables, meats. The handle is very nice and very easy to maintain a light coat of mineral oil to keep the handle from drying out.

i’m really happy this knife. I cook a lot and I need something that’s easy to reach for and not too big and this does a job for most jobs. It’s also really sharp. i’m taking it camping and it’s my main knife.

As a chef, the key things I look for is balance, handle and how easy it is to maintain edge across the blade. The rosewood handle moulds better to your hand The balance is fantastic And because the blade doesn't have a safety guard that goes to the knife, maintenance on your blade edge is easily achieved because you can sharpen the entire blade instead of having a chunk of metal that connects to the heel of the blade making it harder to uniformly sharpen. Every chef has their own preference on brands but when it comes to Victorinox, they are one of the top brands of knifes you can get for any commercial use or at home.
