Amazon.com Review

A true kitchen multi-tasker, this handy six-inch knife is perfect for cutting sandwiches, slicing small cuts of meat, paring fruits, and other small- to medium-scaled cutting jobs that don’t require a more specialized blade. As a part of Chicago Cutlery’s Walnut Tradition line of cutlery, it combines high performance with excellent value. Stamped rather than forged for lighter weight and a more reasonable price, the blade is made from high-carbon, 420 stainless steel with carbon to keep edges sharper longer and chromium to resist rust and stains, while Chicago’s exclusive Taper Grind edge produces impressively precise slices and retains its sharpness well over time. A full tang extends from the tip of the knife to the end of the handle for improved balance and strength. A comfortable walnut handle offers the rich warmth of wood and a classic look; it’s securely held to the blade with triple-compression brass rivets for added safety and stability. Chicago Cutlery covers their knives with a lifetime guarantee; they recommend hand-washing and drying for best results. --Mary Park

5.0 out of 5 stars One of the best knives for a kitchen, February 20, 2011

This is, in my opinion, the best all-around kitchen knife you can buy. And is, to boot, one of the least expensive. Perfect hand fit, and the blade width and length are such that it is INCREDIBLY versatile. I use it to slice, de-bone, core, fillet, you name it. I can't think of another knife that you can use to core a small jalapeno pepper as well as slice prime rib. I've used mine daily since I got married almost 19 years ago.

Note: a high-end sous chef told me about 10 years ago that, if you pay 15 dollars for a knife, you are overpaying, and you only need two knives at most, a utility knife (like this one) and a bigger chef's knife for fine chopping veggies and smashing garlic. And then with a pair of squeeze tongs, a saute pan, a sauce pan, a stock pot, a collander, there's your kitchen, and you should pay no more than 100.00 total for all. And "You should actually pay less than 50.00 for the whole set because you should buy it all at a restaurant auction...Read more

4.0 out of 5 stars good knife for the price, July 8, 2007

This is a good knife for the price. To me it does not feel as balanced or precise as my 6 inch Henckels Four Star but then it is also a fraction of the price. The knife feels particularly appropriate for butchering meat.

This review is from: Chicago Cutlery Walnut Tradition 6-Inch Utility Knife (Kitchen)
I purchased this kitchen utility knife to replace an inexpensive brand from Wal-Mart which had a plastic handle that broke one day while I was cutting a grilled-cheese sandwich. The metal of this Chicago Cutlery knife extends through the length of the handle and it is a very sturdy knife.
The one surprise I had was to discover it has "Made in China" marked on the packaging. I had some how expected an American company like Chicago Cutlery to make their products in the USA.
