VictorinoxSwiss Army 5.2003.15-X8 Fibrox Straight Chef's Knife Black 6 in

Absolutely love the victorinox knives. They hold their sharpness for a long time, they fit very well in the hand and are light but very sturdy.

I bought this knife for two reasons: Fits my grandsons' hands (which makes me feel safer than with a larger knife) and the price was good. I love this model in both this and the 8" size because of its handle (so comfortable and not slick at all) and weight. It is light and easy to maneuver and control. It is the lightest and easiest I've ever used. I am now 70 and suffer from the usually maladies such as arthritis and I also live with Fibromyalgia. That is why the comfort of this knife is so important to me. I'm really happy with this manufacturer.

This knife is very sharp right out of the box. Is well balanced actually light, but cuts well. and is not too long, or too short. Hits that nice middle size, Definitely worth the price.

This knife is great. Easy to use especially for hands in the smaller side - if your hands are larger you may be better off with an 8”. I love the gripped handle - makes it very easy to use or wash.

This knife is great. It's very sharp & cuts easily through tomatoes, onion and even potatoes. It has a very nice handle that's easy to grip & hold. The handle doesn't get slippery when wet.

Though lightweight with a thin blade, this knife is very sharp, and the canted blade makes it easy to use and maneuver. At the very reasonable price point, I didn't expect it to come close to having he same heft and balance as my larger and much more expensive chef's knives, but I wanted a slightly smaller version. This knife does a good job, and if it were a bit more hefty and well-weighted (which would merit a more hefty price as well), it would be my ideal knife. But it's great when dicing lots of veggies as it doesn't cause hand fatigue. I really appreciated the thoughtful protective sleeve packaging as well.

If I only had one kitchen knife this might be it. I have many others but this one is a nice size that can do most things pretty darn well.Gave one to a friend, he thought that was an odd gift, put it up and didn't try it for almost a year, finally he needed a sharp knife for some ribs and remembered the one I gave him, he said it was a eureka moment when he realized why I had given it to him. He also realized that he had never actually owned a sharp knife until then, at 62 years old. He loves it now.It holds an edge very well.The handle is superb, doesn't get slippery, big enough for my hands and small enough for our daughters.Blade is more flexible than the 8" version (which I also have and highly recommend and gift) but that works well for many things as well.It really is an awesome knife.

Love this knife. Has good grip and balance. The length and width of the blade is ideal. I use it for everything, basically the only knife I need in the kitchen. We had the same before and we ordered another of the same.
