Victorinox 47570 Cutlery 6-Inch Chef’s Knife Review:

The close to sixty customers who reviewed this kitchen knife gave it an average rating of 4.6 stars. They liked how it was a small but efficient chef’s knife, compared to 8-inch and 10-inch chef’s knives. It was also described as being sharp and lightweight, while having a good balance. The handle was also appreciated for being easy to hold and being non-slip. One reviewer said he had arthritis and a little weakness in her hands, but she found that this handle made the knife easier to use compared to those with wooden or hard plastic handles.

Another reviewer said she bought this knife along with an 8-inch chef’s knife, thinking the bigger knife would be the workhorse of the pair. As it turned out, people in her family preferred to use the smaller knife most of the time, as it was found to be a perfect fit in the hand and doing a superb job of chopping.

It was also found to be a great bargain. One more user said this small chef’s knife cut chickens with much ease, although he believed it was too small for some tasks and would be better used as a complement to a larger knife, instead of a replacement. The angle of the blade edge was also commended, as it kept the user from hitting his fingers on the cutting board during slicing.

The customers who were not impressed with this knife complained that it was not supposed to be called a chef’s knife, as it had a blade that was a little too narrow for the chopping and rocking motions usually associated with a chef’s knife. Another comment was that it was a lower grade knife from the company, although they still gave it a 3.0 star rating.

Based on the comments of the customers, who obviously ranged from amateur to experts in the cooking field, we highly recommend this small chef’s knife, as one reviewer put it, as a complement to a larger chef’s knife and not to replace it altogether. It would be perfect in performing tasks for which an 8-incher would be too bulky to use, while still giving you enough versatility for your all-around kitchen needs.
