6 inch carbon, steel wooden handle, chefs knife

Had the 6 inch original and not version 2 6 inch carbon, steel chef knife with wooden handle for quite a while. It is holding up magnificently and only needs intermittent honing and stropping. It still cuts through everything as if it was butter. Very highly recommended. Have no idea I how the new handle will change not only the appearance and also the hand feel while grasping the knife.

Timeless

I went in store to experience the feel of the knives in my hand. I have quite small hands so anything too heavy feels burdensome and clunky. When I picked this one up it was the most natural feel, like an extension on my arm. It cuts, of course, perfectly. And it's simply so beautifully, I can't wait to treasure this forever.

Hard and sharp as carbon steel, but hassle free

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This knife is extremely sharp and of high quality. Though it is made from stainless, it actually feels similar to Kramer”s carbon steel knives. I am a big fan of this product line.

FUN and Practical

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The 8" was our first knife, and shines - but this knife is SUCH a great sidekick! You have such control and finese, while still having the rocking ability to efficiently get through pretty much anything you throw at it. Getting through veggies, fruits, meats, this is such a fun knife to use when you don't need the height and length of the 8" Chef's knife.
