I prefer to use a bigger chefs knife and I have the 8 inch artisan chefs knife. My husband use my 8 inch and asked for the 6 inch for his birthday. I bought it and he absolutely loves it! We’ve had it probably for three years.
Many people are not comfortable with a full 8" chef knife. This 6.5" chef can tackle almost anything that an 8" can take on without the extra length. The hand hammering on the blade is really stunning and makes food fall off the blade easily. D shaped handle feels smooth and secure and balanced in either the left or the right hand. Keeps its sharp edge for many uses with proper handling and occasional sharpening.
The 6 inch chef knife is a good allrounder, being larger than a paring knife but not as cumbersome as a larger chef knife. Artisan boasts a hammered finished blade that helps prevent food from sticking and is super sharp.
This 6" Artisan chef knife will tackle most prep tasks in the kitchen. The unique bellied handle is ultra comfortable and perfectly balances out the knife. While the hammered steel is extremely durable and stays sharp for a long time.
